O Abismo

"Avgrunden" falls short by focusing too heavily on family drama, sidelining the intriguing Kiruna mine story it promised. Instead of exploring the mine's societal and environmental impacts, the film gets bogged down in melodramatic family conflicts. This shift not only disappoints but misleads audiences, wasting the unique setting of Kiruna. The film tries to juggle too much, failing to deliver a compelling narrative on either front. It misses the chance to delve into the complexities of mining life, leaving viewers with a generic and unsatisfying family saga.

Dont waste your time like i did..

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.

Awful movie in all categories. Extremely bad acting, not compelling story, mediocre effects, dialogues are incredible mediocre. Film students could have done a greater job. Please learn with the Americans, koreans, and even the chinese.

First part of the film was very weak, character development was not there, the movie seemed to be a collage of scenes without any sequence. The 2 disaster scenes, mine and house were very basic and basically to be considered as the main parr of the film they were very unintersting. The movie was calling for a fast foward button all the time. Very excruciating to watch. I will give it a 4 to be fair.

Tuva is a swedish amazon. Her performance in this movie is splendid and I love her for it. Made me happy I spent my money going to this movie.

I was less impressed by the story. Kiruna is falling apart. That is a fact, and the story could hade been so much... more. I just expected more. The unnecessary relationshipgoo was, well, a pointless mess that didn't go well with the rest of the story.

An extra star for the effects and one more for the scenery shoots. The nature surronding Kiruna is amazing so is the new firehouse.

What the movie lack in story it gains in curse words. As Cap would have said: "Language!"

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'.
