MOST UNDERRATED JAMES CAMERON FILM?! The Abyss Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects The Abyss Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review for the Science Fiction movie from James Cameron - the director behind Terminator 2 Judgment Day, The Terminator, Avatar, Avatar The Way Of Water, & Titanic. It's about this underwater crew who are on a mission to recover a lost nuclear submarine. But, you know, it's not just a simple search and rescue mission because they encounter some extraterrestrial aquatic beings. So, the crew consists of Bud Brigman (played by Ed Harris), his estranged wife Lindsey (played by Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), and a bunch of other characters. They're all working together to find this lost submarine, but things get complicated when they discover these alien creatures living in the deep sea. There's a lot of tension between Bud and Lindsey, and they have to work through their issues while dealing with the aliens. The aliens are pretty cool, by the way. They can manipulate water and even create these water tentacles that can mimic human faces. The climax of the movie involves a big decision for Bud. He has to choose between saving himself or sacrificing himself to prevent a nuclear war. Of course, he chooses the heroic option and dives into the abyss to stop a nuclear warhead from detonating. In the end, Bud survives and the aliens help him return to the surface. The movie ends with a message of hope and the idea that we can all work together to overcome our differences. The movie cast consists of Ed Harris as Virgil 'Bud' Brigman, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as Lindsey Brigman Michael Biehn as Lieutenant Hiram Coffey, Leo Burmester as Catton 'Catfish' De Vries, Todd Graff as Alan 'Hippy' Carnes, John Bedford Lloyd as Jammer Willis, Kimberly Scott as Lisa 'One Night' Standing, J.C. Quinn as Arliss 'Sonny' Dawson. NOTE FOR YOUTUBE: All Footage Featured From "The Abyss" Is From A FICTIONAL Sci-Fi Movie. Any & All References To Violence Or "MATURE CONTENT" Is Not Real.

The Directors Cut explained more of the story with the aliens and the danger of WW3.

Ed Harris' scenes where he is screaming at his men to cut the hose to the door so he can save them, and where he's screaming at Lindsey to fight, are so well done. He conveys such helpless desperation that I get choked up every time no matter how many times I watch this.

This is a great reaction combo cuz they’re both movie nerds that appreciate nuance. They also don’t sit there and try to make lame jokes instead of paying attention. The Abyss is one of my all time favourite movies. Really dig that this reaction is so long so we can appreciate many scenes and get the in depth analysis afterwards. Thumbs up. 👍🏻

There's a SUPER good documenatary about making this movie called "Under Pressure: Making the Abyss." Almost everything in this movie is practical, they made (to this day) the worlds largest underwater set. Cameron literally invented a bunch of new technology to make this movie. All the actors had to go through intense training and hold their breath for 3 mins.. Ed was able to hold his nearly 6 mins! The liquid breathing is real and has been tested on many animals with success.. although it's never been approved for human use.

LOVE to see people appreciate Biehn and his awesomeness. He should have been a leading man, he's beyond amazing
