The Abyss is awesome, love that movie. However later I learned about the production of that movie, big oof.
One of the really cool bits was the rat actually breathed liquid. I just assumed they killed a rat when filming, which was rather harsh. The part about our bodies remembering breathing liquid was bullshit tho. In the womb the mother does the breathing, we don’t breathe liquid.
The CGI was also very good for the time, helped along by tons of practical effects. The story did lean hard on other well known sci fi stories, but that’s alright.
It was directed by James Cameron so of course it was a nightmare to film. His films are almost always big oof. But god damn especially the director’s cut Special Edition is amazing.
I liked Abyss a lot when it came out, but in a recent re-watch it struck me how much everyone was massively overacting, its almost like the actors were all trying to out do each other.
