El abismo secreto

If they had got the casting wrong this film would of been a let down for me, The romance that develops was believable and charming and enjoyable to watch. Aside from that it's just a action film which at times left me thinking this was based on a video game...lots of blowing stuff up etc but honestly nothing hear for the horror fans. It follows the action film formula as well as the romantic film formula but completely ignores the horror formula. Yes it has sci-fi in it thus aliens or whatever they called them but they don't give you the creeps. Overall it is entertaining but only because of the casting. It's a great film for a rainy day ,it just isn't a must watch.

The premise of this movie was strong, unique and extremely intriguing. Ultimately, I didn't hate how it unfolded, but I found myself wanting more by the end. There were so many unanswered questions, so many things that could have been explored but weren't because of the time constraints that come with a movie.

Truly, this would have made for a much better TV show, or even a mini series, where things could be fleshed out properly and not rushed as much.

I also found myself wishing it were maybe a video game instead, especially during the moments where cinematically, it DID feel like I was watching a video game cutscene.

In the end, this was a decent film that wasn't able to live up to its potential because there wasn't enough time to explore the world, build the world, or flesh out the characters and conflicts in the world.

A video game or TV show would have been much, much better.

It's soooo romantic! And at the same time totally freaky and bit scary. It's a really confusing mix. My heart was melting and stressed out alternately and at the same times. 😍😱

The underlying story is also told in a good and interesting way. They didn't rush it, but also didn't take more time than needed. The movie felt well finished and the combination of romance and action/horror was nicely done and enjoyable... despite my rapidly changing state of heart. 🌟

The main actors were really good as well and had a nice chemistry, that translated well onto on the screen. 😏

Can definitely recommend the movie.

If you read most of the reviews so far you can tell there are two very different tones in the two halfs of this film. Some may not like both styles of the film. There are slow and intimate moments in the first half building up the whole structure of the film and sci-fi horror very disturbing scenes in the second half. I believe the story, photography, acting, editing, visual effects and everything else felt very well done for a self contained film with so few characters and empty spaces. I don't think the payoff and the reveal where underwhelming, felt well explained and conclusive, definitely worth watching it.

It was good to watch an uncomplicated linear story with nobody trying to be the next great film.

It just a solid narrative story with a bit of action, some fantastical elements to bring it all together, mystery and a little romance to spice it up.

We have a very small cast, limited sets and special effects which all goes with the narrative well.

This would have gone bad if it had a bigger budget, but this is just a solid, entertaining movie. Everyone from the writing directing. Camera, actors, special effects all just delivered quality.

I had given up on Hollywood been able to create these sort of movies. I assume the budget was small and all the parts just work.
