The Abyss (2023)
3/10
The dumbest security expert and family
21 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Oh dear, I don't even know where to start to describe how dumb all the people in this movie are.

Everyone is extremely slow during emergency. They do not communicate, run nor think it would be smart to at least bloody hurry up.

Everyone stands 1 inch from the rift while it's spreading, with the dumb looks on their faces, waiting to see if they will fall in eventually. You are kind of happy when they do, as you dont care about anyone there. No likeable characters whatsoever.

Noone thinks of running away from the cracks. They run towards the crack or just stand there like brainless NPC characters.

To make things more ridiculous, director thought it would be a great idea to make them spend a long time talking about family's love-dramas. Even while sitting at the edge of the growing sinkhole in the middle of the earthquake, while their family members are in imminent life danger.

Dead horse would have more natural reactions in emergency situations. Everyone is so annoying, especially the daughter.

Your brother/son is missing from the night before and your idea of searching for him doesnt start with phone calls?? It took them hours to try to call him. And they never thought of calling his friends? Yeah, lets just send a borderline girl to run around the town like a headless chicken, to "try" to find him.

And the way a mom acts as a security expert with her "dead horse" reactions is ridiculous.

The only somewhat redeeming scenes were the ones from the mine.

All in all, if you want to get angry before sleep, go and watch this movie. Otherwise, avoid it. I should have avoided it.
