핵잠수함이 알 수 없는 이유로 먼바다 깊숙이 침몰하자, 프로토타입 해저 석유시추선 다이버팀이 미 해군의 구조 작전에 투입된다. 허리케인으로 본부와 연락이 끊긴 승무원들은 작업 중에 외계 생명체로 보이는 생물의 흔적을 발견한다. 팀을 이끄는 버드 브리그먼이 전처인 상사와 티격태격하는 사이, 점점 이 낯선 생명체에 집착하게 된 해군 사령관이 복원된 핵무기로 모든 것을 파괴해 버리겠다고 위협한다.

평가 및 리뷰

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.
