For the rest of us, The Abyss plays very much like a by-the-numbers disaster film in which a select few are chosen to be the characters we care about the most as the world around them is literally swallowed by the ground.

For those who prefer their disaster flicks without so much bombast, then this abyss is worth peeking into.

The application of a little verisimilitude helps a disaster flick like The Abyss go down a little bit easier.

Ready Steady Cut

It’s got an interesting premise, a great cast, and outstanding special effects. However, the plot is predictable, and whatever spark it had in the beginning turns into a snooze fest of a final act.

Rated: 2.5/5

As bad as the acting and "drama" was, I would like to have a dollar for every time the translator entered the "F" word. Wow, it added so much to the movie...

Trope storyline: Dysfunctional family must work together to avoid carnage. The special effects are good, albeit sparse.

Writing was extremely basic as was the acting. Seems like a girl power movie, which I tend to enjoy but I just couldn't get into this one at all. Not for me.

Predictable, cliche, and flat. I almost couldn't bring myself to finish it.

One of the worst-made films I have ever seen. The plot could have been decent, but the scenes are ridiculously improbable and poorly executed. A mishmash of losers who seem to find problems instead of solutions. An interpretation teetering between dramatic and ridiculous.
