    For a film that is considered “the toughest shoot in film history”, THE ABYSS is a visual masterpiece!

      @richh33 Před 8 měsíci +86

      It's not just a visual masterpiece, this is , for me, the film where Cameron got consistently the best performances from his cast. Probably *because* the conditions of the shoot were so claustrophobic and realistic.

    Wednesday. August 9, 1989. I was just a teen when this movie came out. It was an amazing experience. Coincidentally, there were already two underwater sci-fi movies that came before it, Leviathan and Deep Star Six. Both films were flops. The Abyss was also a financial flop but it was a critical success amongst movie critics. It would later go on to receive four Academy award nominations but only won the Oscar for best visual effects. It also won the Saturn award for best music. It had a beautiful theme song.

    This film released in India in September 1990 (about a year after its American release) when I was just six! I have blurry memories of watching it with my parents (at a theater that doesn't exist today). I recall close to nothing obviously (except perhaps a flicker of the resuscitation scene and some bizarre structure standing out of the sea) but I do remember very distinctly walking out of the theater full of intense, inexplicable wonder. As they say, you may forget actual details of an event but you will never forget "how it made you feel". I carry that wonder in me even today (I'm 39) and what's even better is that I haven't watched the movie since! I wish this one-day release occurs in India too - but I doubt it. I hope to catch it on an OTT platform. This trailer looks stellar and weakens me with nostalgia and awe. ❤

      I have the same memory with seeing ET when I was about four years old.
      The wonder I felt stayed with me all this time.
      It’s a real shame kids don’t get to have the magic that once existed in cinema.
      Most of their movies are remakes or sequels to movies forty years old.

      Thank you for sharing that story! I must have watched this a dozen times on VHS, and a few more later on. To this day, I use the scene with the drowning rat to not only motivate myself, but other people who are going through a difficult situation: "At first you feel like you're drowning, but eventually your lungs relearn how to breathe liquid, like when you were in the womb." It's an incredibly powerful metaphor

All the rest of the subs and aliens and alien ships were miniatures and puppets. The model subs were hung by wires off a giant overhead gantry system and moved via computer "motion control" using stepper motors. There was a miniature rear projection system inside the subs that created the images of the crew inside. They were shot "dry for wet" which meant we smoked up the stage to simulate the particulate matter in water.

    It's about dang time! I've been following this journey for a while, sure not as long as some people, and I'm excited this finally happened. I've owned The Abyss on VHS and DVD, now I may even shell out for 4K. Just from this trailer alone I can see the difference in quality, it's amazing.
