The Abyss

How was i convinced to watch this

XO

I’m sure it was good for the time…. Didn’t land with me seeing it in my 30s for the first time

A must watch blockbuster from the late 80s. Cameron did not miss in this era. You can see the precursors to Titanic and the Avatar films here, but with minimal CGI and constant tension 9/10

I honestly loved this movie, to how it gripped me from start to finish. It has stakes, the whole cast felt like a family, it had such emotional scenes and also very brutal ones. The aliens are so beautiful, and their scenes are captivating. Everyone was such a badass 9/10 🪼

Watching this for the first time, it really hit me that we don’t make adventure movies anymore, and we are all missing out because of it! Cameron in full force here displaying the pure power of wonder and awe.
