O tomto filmu

Když se jaderná ponorka záhadně potopí na odlehlé dno oceánu, Námořnictvo Spojených států amerických povolá na záchrannou misi tým potápěčů z podvodní ropné plošiny. Když hurikán přeruší kontakt mezi hladinou a podvodními hlubinami, posádka spatří důkaz o podivné, pravděpodobně mimozemské, práci. Zatímco se velitel Bud Brigman (Ed Harris) hádá se svou bývalou ženou a šéfkou (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), velitel námořnictva začíná být ohledně záhadného mimozemského života paranoidní a vyhrožuje použitím jaderné zbraně.

Hodnocení a recenze

Don't get scammed by Google. The original movie is 140 minutes. The Abyss Special Edition that was just released 12/2023 is 2 h 50 m. Google is selling this at full price and using the special edition cover (Bait and switch) to mislead people. Prime is the only place to get the right version. They are the only ones contracted to offer it. Sad part their version is UHD not true 4k and its 19.95.

Google is getting pretty incompetent when it comes to media sales — THE ABYSS is a Movies Anywhere title (20th Century Studios, owned by Disney) but the flag isn’t set despite MA including Google TV in the retailers list. Trying to sort this out with support led to an hour spent getting frustrated at the obviously AI support chatbot (which got shirty on being called out) and my decision to request a refund.

A unique film from James Cameron, the story is long and somewhat simple but still good and the movie itself is a masterclass in filmmaking. There is not another movie that equals the scale of the Abyss' underwater setting.
