the abyss is deep

It's amazing that the 1989 movie can make such special effects.

The plot is very good. At the beginning, the silence of the nuclear submarine was used to tell us the existence of unknown creatures, and then the story on the Geocenter happened. While struggling with the Coffey nuclear bomb conspiracy, I still think of the existence of unknown creatures from time to time. Although the plot has developed for a long time, there is always suspense, which makes people nervous.

The choice of roles is also very good. The old man is played by Harris, which makes people feel at ease at first sight, and becomes the backbone of the entire dark abyss and the development of the plot. Coffey's portrayal is also very good, and his insanity is reasonable, and his blackening shows the weakness of human nature. He is not a villain from beginning to end, so it is more natural and not rigid.

In the end, the aliens rescued Laoba and bravely appeared on the sea. It was really an ending I didn't expect. We are all afraid of aliens right now, it seems aliens can't get along with us like the Shrimp in District 9. Perhaps the human beings in the 1980s were still very simple, and they were more expecting than hostile to alien creatures. This is really the best. Just like the heroine and aliens in Advent, they learn from each other and make progress together. The ending is so deep, I give him 4 stars for the ending.

The Abyss quotes

  • Virgil: Linds, I want you to stay away from that guy. I mean it.

    Alan "Hippy" Carnes: The guy is gone. Did you see his hands?

    Lindsey Brigman: What? He got the shakes?

    Virgil: Look, he's operating on his own. He's cut off from his chain of command. He's showing signs of pressure-induced psychosis, and he's got a nuclear weapon. So as a personal favor to me, will you try to put your tongue in neutral for a while?

    Alan "Hippy" Carnes: [nervous] I got to tell you, I give this whole thing a sphincter-factor of about nine point five.

  • Lindsey Brigman: So raise your hand if you think that was a Russian water-tentacle.
