RE: Daily Movie Recommendation - The Abyss (1989)

in #film7 years ago

I know I watched this movie a few times as a kid, but I can barely remember anything about it.

It was funny how, for a year or so after Avatar came out, there were forums that were obsessed with it, like it was a sort of cult. They were hopeful about creating a world or culture similar to that of the movie. That was weird.

Sort:  

That cult story sounds kind of creepy, haha.

In my memory, that already took place before the film came out, but that was probably a hype, marketing stunt and it eventually lead to Avatar becoming the highest grossing film ever at the box office, worldwide.

Yes, a lot. But my Internet connection was terrible. I couldn't watch anything at all:( I'll let you know when I see it.

I see. You do that ;>)

Hi again. I finally watched it. On a sunny day! Avatar was my one and only favorite James Cameron film until this one. İt still is my favorite, but now it has a companion - in the second place. The narrative backbones are actually no different. And the technical setup of The Abyss is surprisingly good for its time. So i like it a lot. And as a Westworld fan, watching Ed Harris is always a treat for me. So thank you for the suggestion.
