Comment Reminder of good SCI FI movies (Score 1) 460

If only the creators had seen "The Abyss", then they too would realize how to make this movie. "The Abyss" had the danger, the problems to solve, the untested solutions to the problems, AND it even had character development!!

See? you can have it all. Beyond all the reality issues, there was one more significant problem that nobody has really included, and that is the pace of the film.

-- Beginning takes about 20 or so minutes
-- First journey's failure: about 20 more minutes
-- Sedond journey's failure: about 40 minutes
-- Solving the problem: about 25 minutes
-- Entire end of movie: 15 minutes

and here I always thought that the most important aspect of a film should take at least as long as any one of the unimportant parts.

I had a lady behind me saying "I Loved that movie, I am going to buy it most definitely" over and over again, so I guess somebody out there liked it for some reason thats beyond me.
