The Abyss : This is one of the worst and cheesiest films I have ever seen.

This is one of the worst and cheesiest films I have ever seen.

I don't understand how peoples opinions can vary so drastically. To me this was a really bad film with very few redeeming features. If it was described as a film for young children I might have lowered my expectations, but I thought it was going to be like Alien or something but underwater.

What I got was the campiest and cheesiest and most ridiculous mess of a film I've ever seen. It looks like Alien most of the time, but it is basically E.T.

What's wrong with ET? Millions of people enjoyed that movie.

So many stories, so little time.

I actually liked "THE ABYSS".

Heck, I still like it.

I just revisited it for the first time in 30 years (theatrical cut) and I HATED it. And here's the reason why. When we are introduced to the two lead characters of this film, whose relationship is supposed to be the driving human element of the story, and the ones we are supposed to care about, they are both a couple of dislikable jerks with no compassion inside them whatsoever for the plight of the men inside the downed submarine. I mean look at it. Mastrantonio is introduced in full bitch mode complaining about the Navy taking charge of "her" operation, and Harris is complaining about being pressed into service and trying to offer lame excuses about not being qualified to do the job. We're apparently supposed to forget this because no one was still alive on the sub, and those lives were thus inconsequential, but come on, when the film started we didn't know that! If these two self-centered individuals had any basic humanity in them, they would have been willing to say, "Yes, we'll be glad to do what we can to help to save lives!" Consequently, I had not a drop of sympathy for either of them as the film progressed.
