From the current point of view, the special effects and stories are still not out of date, but the expression seems outdated. The movie "Abyss" tells the story of a nuclear submarine stranded in the deep sea, a group of oil well workers assisting the military to perform tasks and encountering intelligent creatures in the deep sea. There are two flaws: 1. According to the foreshadowing of the film, the story is more like shaping the pattern of deep-sea monsters. A huge nuclear submarine has an accident on the seabed, and workers and the military go to save people. But with the development of the story, the film pays more attention to the contradiction between workers and soldiers, metaphorical war and the opposition of ordinary people. But just based on this expression, forcibly sublimating the ending to saving humans from intelligent creatures seems a bit mismatched. 2. Because the story is very typed, and the wars that destroy the earth are too erratic, the whole movie will feel a little cliché after watching it. If the story ends abruptly at the point where the protagonist sacrifices himself, leaving an open space for the audience to think about the underwater world, it will be more alert to people's reasonable awe of nature. Aside from these two flaws, the storytelling is excellent. The appearance of each protagonist and supporting role is very distinctive. But because they are all typed processing, there is not much value for discussion.
