Review of The Abyss

The Abyss (2023)
6/10
Very relatable and admirable characters in spite of their failings
24 February 2024
I found the characters to be relatable and admirable despite their failings or maybe because of their struggles with their failings.

Suspenseful and I didn't find it predictable. There was no feeling that there would be some miraculous rescue for everyone at the end. I felt truly afraid for the characters because I was invested in them and their reactions felt true.

Frigga's stoic strength when others were losing their minds is something I'd love to see in more female leads.

The low-key ominous signs of collapse, like the slow turning of the lamppost in the rift zone were utterly chilling.

Funny at times. The wry humor shown at awkward moments was engaging.
