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 sci-fi films of 1989 can't be made at this level in China now. All kinds of elements are there. Except for the first half hour, the back is always very compact.

    James Cameron, a tech madman, is not only crazy about big scenes and big productions, but also his obsession with the underwater world. Not long ago, he dived to the latest depth of the Mariana Trench. All the vulgar plots and entanglements in the 1989 film are to pave the way for the feeling of sinking into the sea cliff and the fantasy of the end of the abyss.

    [Bud sits up, stares at the pseudopod]

    Virgil: [throwing a pillow at Cat] Hey, Cat. Cat!

    Catfish De Vries: [half-awake] Hey, lemme alone.

    [sees the pseudopod, jerks awake and grabs a flowerpot as if to throw it]

  • Lindsey Brigman: The bad news is we got eight hours in this can blowin' down... And the worse news is, it's gonna take us three weeks to decompress later.
