The Abyss Movie Reviews

OMG!

I was excited to watch this film because I do enjoy the odd disaster film. Boy, was I disappointed. Could someone please tell me how the son, Simon, I think, falls into a crack in the Earth out in a place called ‘the rift’ but then ends up at HIS SCHOOL only to be rescued in the end!

This film has got to be the worst mash up of plots and sub-plots I have seen in a long time. The disaster itself, the massive collapse of the entire town, actually takes a backseat to the family dramas. The parents’ divorce, the mom’s new boyfriend, the daughter’s gay relationship problems, the son’s anger at said parents’ divorce, and the drama goes on and on. I really began to hate almost all of the characters, except for the boyfriend who basically seemed shell-shocked to be involved in this mess!

Good grief!

The dumbest security expert and family

Oh dear, I don’t even know where to start to describe how dumb all the people in this movie are.

Everyone is extremely slow during emergency. They do not communicate, run nor think it would be smart to at least bloody hurry up.

Everyone stands 1 inch from the rift while it’s spreading, with the dumb looks on their faces, waiting to see if they will fall in eventually. You are kind of happy when they do, as you dont care about anyone there. No likeable characters whatsoever.

Noone thinks of running away from the cracks. They run towards the crack or just stand there like brainless NPC characters.

To make things more ridiculous, director thought it would be a great idea to make them spend a long time talking about family’s love-dramas. Even while sitting at the edge of the growing sinkhole in the middle of the earthquake, while their family members are in imminent life danger.

Dead horse would have more natural reactions in emergency situations. Everyone is so annoying, especially the daughter.

Your brother/son is missing from the night before and your idea of searching for him doesnt start with phone calls?? It took them hours to try to call him. And they never thought of calling his friends? Yeah, lets just send a borderline girl to run around the town like a headless chicken, to “try” to find him.

And the way a mom acts as a security expert with her “dead horse” reactions is ridiculous.

The only somewhat redeeming scenes were the ones from the mine.

All in all, if you want to get angry before sleep, go and watch this movie. Otherwise, avoid it. I should have avoided it.

An inept first catastrophe movie attempt from Sweden

I really was excited to hear about this movie, both as it’s the first ever Swedish catastrophe movie, but also that it takes place in the unique town of beautiful Kiruna.

The film is based on an actual possible event. The town of Kiruna is in the process of being moved three kilometers away from where it’s situated today due to that the substantial mining underneath is leading to the town’s sinking. And moving a town with 23.000 inhabitants is a huge task.

I also had great hopes as I heard talented Tuva Novotny was the lead actress, as an actor always doing well.

The plot is that Novotny’s character is in charge of safety in the mines, when the ground it starting to falter around them.

But disappointment was huge both to see silly instructing, bad acting (if not from Novotny) and cliché after cliché, and rather stupid action.

I’m afraid to say that the story is not at all exciting, and even worse, it’s boring.

I take it that the Swedes are inspired by the many great catastrope movies coming out of Norway since 2011 (The Wave, The Quake, The Tunnel, The Burning Sea, Troll, People in the sun, Pioneer, etc) but this is not reaching up to any of them.
