Review of The Abyss

The Abyss (2023)
4/10
Billionth chance of stuff happening a billion times
1 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The movie script was awfully executed, ranging from the first scene being cut between two different scenes, with two different timelines - not making any sense why they wouldn't show the two scenes after each other, to having a billionth-chance-of-happening-things happening a billion times.

You get attached to some characters and then they create these insanely unlikely to happen or even forced by the script to happen, to kill those characters off.

They discover a several kilometers long hole in the cave and realise the whole city is about to collapse in any moment - so they urge to evacuate. They get trapped, manage to make it out, and they have to evacuate the city. Then what? They enter the city and act as if everything's okay. They stand and watch the asphalt. They were just in a hurry to evacuate everyone RIGHT NOW!!!!, yet, they're standing in the middle of everyone and isn't saying anything about the city about to collapse.

What happened to the urgency to evacuate everyone?

Don't get me started on the terrible and weird husband-whos-yet-not-divorced fight versus the "new one"...

Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars out of 10 is because the visualization was damning good, too bad concrete with steel reinforcements weighs less than frigolit in this universe, lol.
