For a film that is considered “the toughest shoot in film history”, THE ABYSS is a visual masterpiece!
@richh335 ай бұрын
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. ❤

Just a point of reference, the wall of water did not appeared in theatrical release. It appeared later.I recall reading Orson Scott Card's novel, which described ending events not in the theatrical release. I was amazed by these events in my imagination and wondered why they weren't in the film, thinking that if they were added, it would leave people in awe. When the special edition trailer showed the wall of water by San Francisco on TV, I exclaimed, "WOW! This is going to be epic!" It's very cool to see it in 4K after 34 years.

at the time of the original release date cinemas didn't like long movies (over two hours in length) as it limited the number of screenings per day (and earning the cinema less money), this changed with the success of Titanic, weirdly another James Cameron film.

This is one of the main reasons I hate streaming. Most of the movie streaming services don’t offer a high enough bit rate for a TRUE 4K cinema experience. It’s a shame when convenience has outweighed quality. If it comes out on 4K blu ray, I’ll definitely buy it. FYI Streaming in 4k = 15mbps 4k blu ray = 128 mbps Not much of a difference in compression 😂

@@cinematicgames And did you forget about that "water worm" scene where it copied her face like a mirror reflection? That was one of the earlier forms of CGI effects used long before Jurassic Park even came out in theaters, and it also inspired Cameron to use that same method to create the T-1000 from Terminator 2 (IIRC ... Dennis Murin, the famous VFX designer, worked on the set of this movie, as well as JP just a few years later)

@@cinematicgames You are correct, sir, I worked on the movie's visual effects and I believe the only cgi is the water weenie done by ILM which sadly gets most of the acclaim but the miniature work was phenomenal. 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.
