 So finally got to talk about my favorite James camera movie and they gave us this cool poster This is the poster y'all have been seeing for this. I'm really excited to talk about this with you guys That's a hot mug guys. Hey guys, this is my review for the abyss. This was a remaster Retelling or a re-showing they did this only for one day They showed it on December 6th, and it's been restored into 4k and this is without a doubt One of if not my favorite James camera movie for a multitude of reasons both good and bad the film centers on a oil rig team that are commandeered by the US military because a Nuclear submarine American nuclear the submarine has crashed Underground in the water and they don't know why and so they are tasked with going to find it Ed Harris is accompanied by his ex-wife who is the queen bitch of the universe according to this movie They are also tasked with Michael Bean who is the leader of the SEAL team who's a little bit Yeah, they find out that the sub crash not for natural reasons, but for a Ulterior and alternate force is compelling the water around them And also keeping an eye on what is going on at the time because this movie was Made just at the very end of the Cold War So kind of its message was lost when the wall fell down But the message itself is still kind of present and I love this movie I has a bunch of my favorite things deep-sea water deep-sea mystery ton of appeal for those who have Philasophobia and it's got great characters. I love Ed Harrison it. I like Michael Sheen in it. Mary Elizabeth Monastrone Apologies if I butchered your name. She's great. She's a fantastic character in this movie Cameron is able to take Simple kind of character traits and still make compelling enjoyable and Lovable characters and you care for what happens to them in this movie. There is a particular scene involving her and a leaking submersible that stood out to me as one of my favorite moments in film It is incredible and the fact that you were able to watch this movie at all is incredible because I feel that Cameron was going to get murdered if this movie took any longer to make this film was highly delayed Because of the means and how they made this movie all of these scenes where you're seeing them underwater. It's all real they took a former nuclear silo decommissioned one filled it up with something on like four to five hundred thousand gallons of water put a bunch of these sets in and put the actors in these helmets and everything and they put them down there problem was the Trying to collect dialogue in the scenes was almost near impossible because the helmets may make this Discharge noise so they had to edit around that it obviously took forever to film a lot of these sequences a lot of delays a lot of issues There are a lot of scenes that went way harder There's one scene in particular where Mary said out loud to Cameron. We are actors We are not animals there's a day where Ed Harris was driving home and he had to pull over to the side of the road because he Started to break down this movie sounds like it was an utter fucking nightmare to make but it's so Fucking good because of that. I am not an advocate for People working in such environments. They used to get away with a lot of shit back in the day the fact that Kubrick was able to do half of the shit he did especially what he did to Shelley DeVall in The Shining is Unforgivable. So I'm not saying that Cameron is Guiltless in the making of this movie. He was a dedicated dick fuck while making this but did he make a movie that has Stuck in my mind for a ton of reasons. Absolutely. He has it's an amazing deep-sea adventure with a bunch of characters that are relatable likable Flawed but still able to pull at your heart strings to come together Against an adversary and to learn and explore and be willing to Understand the unknown not all of them Michael Bean particularly. I love the elements of how the mystery of the film slowly starts to take shape and take form and take presence and As that element is slowly introduced in the movie it becomes more and more intriguing. I've seen this movie Multiple times throughout my life. I've been waiting for an updated version for forever I still have the DVD for this movie for God's sakes and I brought two friends who had never seen this movie before with me And they really liked it If there is one complaint that they had though and I can understand that as well It's the ending. This was the extended version their original director's cut Which is about near on three hours long and the movie still even with that director's cut Just kind of ends. There's this element as I said earlier about the rest of the world and how the surrounding events are Contributing to what's happening down by this oil rig It makes sense that they were cut But it also takes away a lot of the overall message of the movie and having those back in really does Make the finale the climax, which is a heartbreak and fucking climax I love how the movie ends up until it ends because of it It just kind of knee jerks to the end because I don't think that the studio I don't think Fox was gonna let him film anymore I sure he had made Terminator and sure he had made Aliens, but they're like alright Cameron fuck off a lot of the Technology that was developed for this movie was used in future projects Particularly Terminator 2 and for those of you who know The scene I'm talking about and how that was contributed towards the effects that were used to help display the t1000 And it's terrifying reality, you know what I'm talking about, but I like how this movie Doesn't have a big antagonist like technically speaking Michael Bean is the antagonist in this movie, but he's not a true antagonist because he's a dick it's because of the nature and the atmosphere and the Conditions he's in that create him to be one. It's about discovery and about wonder first and foremost for those of you Do have a more modern-day Comparison interstellar you say that dr. Man is sort of the villain of that movie But really it's the conditions and the elements that they are in that are the adversary time is the adversary And the wonder is what the driving force that movie is and that's what I would say from the abyss I love this movie. I would not have liked to work on it, but I do love this movie So in the end, I'm gonna give the abyss a 607 I'd love to give it a seven out of seven, but it doesn't deserve it because like I said that ending Like I said, it just kind of knee jerks to the end, which I'm okay with but Understandably that is a part a complaint that I cannot Take away from the movie as for the 4k restoration thought it was really good visual effects look really good the The updates just for the quality of the movie looked really really good, especially seeing it on a big screen There's one thing though the ending again. There's a miniature shot. Well, basically giant miniatures There's one shot, which I I don't know what the fuck happened I don't know if the projector fucked up, but it's not in 4k if the anything it is the opposite It is a 24p image trying to be stretched out to a 4k image and it looks It's a probably about like a three-second shot But it's the most like because I could even hear my two friends make the same noise at the same thing So yeah, that was the only fault I would say of the restoration aside from that movie solid I'm very much gonna get the 4k when it comes out because like I said I've been waiting for a blu-ray for the longest time there was a really weird Kind of not committing to it by Fox for the longest time and Admittedly they had a good reason this movie didn't make a lot of money in the end guys Those are my thoughts about the abyss very much would love to know what you guys think about this What do you guys think about this movie tell me in the comments below?
