Terrible, terrible, terrible
This has to be one of the worst films I have seen in a long time. The actors/actresses have so little charisma and character that everything they say is absolutely unbelievable.
As for the script '...queen bitch of the universe' is a person 'favourite' line. Try to count the number of times 'son-of-a-bitch!' is said, go on, make a drinking game of it, possibly the only way to enjoy this dreary, melodramatic, unbelievable, cliched, corny and hollow film.
Special effects range from great to poor (occaisionally) and are possibly the only saving grace.
The Navy Seals are particularly dull.
James Cameron's classic
From director James Cameron { Titanic,
Ghosts Of The Abyss, The Terminator 1 & 2: Judgment Day, Alien 2: Aliens} had made this science fiction/underwater film. Ed Harris plays an underwater oil rigger who's reunited with his wife whom he is soon set to divorce. but the two must get along together to finish off the oil rig. but when disaster strikes by natural underwater causes then the crew get stranded under the sea. one of the crew members { Michael Beighn-The Terminator, Tombstone} has gone mad and won't tell anyone. Harris's character's wife meets an underwater alien and then the sci-fi kicks off. with one heart moving ending which isn't too cornie or overblown. must see. while not brilliant very enjoyable and a true ' Atlantis'or ' Journey To...

"...A technical marvel with sustained pull, exciting manner footage and an hotheaded wallop in its around platonic tenderness horror story..."
Abyss, The
In the service of some, this was James Cameron's Waterworld, a bloated, tender epic from the crowned head of hi-tech thrillers. Some of the criticism was deserved, but it remains a fascinating folly, a spectacular and often thrilling voyage to the bottom of the sea. Ed Harris stars as the director of an underwater line-up working for an oil company that is pressed into service to freeing the crew of a crippled submarine. But they in a little while begin to be awed if they are the only bounce forms in the vicinity. Harris is great in a rare leading-man responsibility and there is first-velocity support from Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, as his estranged friend, and The Terminator's Michael Biehn, as the unstable maritime commander. Cameron excels in cranking up the tensi...
