DAY 131: January 11th, 2009.
The Abyss
One of Cameron's films that is really good...people really like it, yet rarely gets mentioned among his films. It's always Aliens or Terminator, or if you're a young teenage girl Titanic. Yet here is a film that is beautiful, thrilling, haunting and quite emotional.
The special effects are stunning even by today's standards. Well before Cameron 'perfected' it in T2. The cast is strong and the performances from everyone is outstanding. I still sit on the edge of my seat when Bud is trying to revive Lindsey.
The message of the film is strong and the last 20 minutes are truly wonderful. The tidal wave climax is still one of my favourites. A lot of people praise Cameron as a director, but you never really hear them give his due in writing. Yet he writes all his own movies. The Abyss is not short of great characters, story or depth.
Check it out if your a sci/fi fan, or just looking for a great entertaining flick.
