The Abyss

This movie had potentially been really good if it wasn't a lot of family drama in it.

The bad language between young teenagers in the movie gives a bad message to viewers to.

It had some thrilling moments but nothing more.

This was a bad attempt to replicate other disaster movies.

I am sorry to say but I can't recommend this film at all.

There are better ways to spend money on theatre this days.

It pains me to see good actors in a bad picture.

I love Tuva and she has great potential if she only get the chance.

To summarize this movie I have to say that it lacked depth and it was quite messy.

For what appears to be a decent-sized budget, this move is bad. Now I can almost pick out movies where the script was written by AI, this is one of them.

Good Acting: The acting was overall decent. The daughter and father was a little over the top but over all the actors was able to display the range of emotions effectively.

Bad Writing: No real dialogue, one sentence statement jammed together. ALSO, this is not a disaster movie, this is a family drama movie that has a disaster in it.

Plot Devices: I stopped counting after 15. Everyone or everything happened just in time for the maximum dramatic effect. I have trouble finding people in my house, yet entire family find each other from different parts of the city 10+ times.....without the aid of cell phones.

Mica: Have a drink for each time someone says 'Mica' or Simon' and you will die from alcohol poisoning. So many times an entire scene is a different person screaming 'Mica'.

"Oh no! We're in a dangerous situation and could die at any moment. What do we do?" "This is the perfect time to have a long talk about our relationship!"

Rinse, and repeat... rinse... and repeat.

Half way through I was wishing for everyone to fall into the abyss. It just wasn't convincing at all. The characters were just too bland and predictable. There was more relationship drama than actual disaster drama, which was made even more awkward by the fact they all seem so disconnected from each other. None of these people were likeable or remotely interesting. I kept waiting for something exciting to happen, but it never came.

Just simply ... boring.

This is one of those movies that makes people, both the characters of the movie and the viewers, look dumb as if we don't know how things work in real life. Or, maybe the people who made this movie don't know how things work in real life, simple things like how concrete breaks. The events are very badly written. There are so many parts of the movie where the things that are happening and how the characters were behaving are not realistic. Worse than other movies where people are running in random like walking towards hazard almost purposefully. Instead of feeling the 'thrill' it was mostly funny because of how silly it was. The actors are good but the directing is terrible. The outcome of the story is almost predictable.

We have seen all of this before over the years but with better actors and better scripts (and better effects to be honest) Classic movies like Twister, Dante's peak, Volcano and Day after tomorrow.

But even new movies like Greenland, Deepawater horizon, San andreas fault and 2012 are way better and enjoyable than this.

As usual SVT is relentlessly using their form A making sure the women are strong, the men weak, the daughter dating a girl and the protagonist replacing the husband with a man from the middle east.

While each of those on their own could have worked they instead decide to go all in and the story suffers from it.

Tuva Novotny is trying hard but the rest of the cast is lacking and some are extremely poor.

It could be that the bad script are making them look worse than they are though.

I found the fact that they are moving an entire city fascinating and would actually prefer watching a movie/documentary about that instead.

Its sad but id rather rewatch the older movies i mentioned above than endure movies like this.
