Movie Run Time: 2:43:22

You will need your own copy of the movie to watch along! 😁

If I was an alien and had to live on earth, I would stay with a sweet old Italian couple (for the food obvs) 🍝 The last place I would EVER chose is under the sea!

And you want to see a movie with a sea monster, one of the very best “In the Heart of the Sea” (2015) This is based on a true story.

As with Animal Crackers, this movie, The Abyss, is not available for streaming. So I'll have to sit this one out. At least I had seen Animal Crackers years ago, so I had a good time with the edited reaction. But I've never seen The Abyss, and I'd prefer to have seen it before watching the edited reaction. Thank goodness for Glory. It was offered as a "Free" selection on YouTube Premium this month (i.e., already included in monthly subscription), so I could watch full-length on that one. You folks enjoy. See you next time, I hope.

Sorry, which version is this? This says 2:43, but all I can find are the regular at 1:40 and the extended at 2:51. Is this a UK cut or something?

I had to dig through my DVD's to find this one. It's been ages since I've seen it. Just like vinyl to cassettes to CD's to MP3, my movie collection has gone from VHS, to DVD to iTunes, LOL. Glad I found it, I forgot how good it was. Great reaction as always, loved it! Looking at your DVD pictures and gonna throw my vote in for Arrival if you are want to stick with the alien theme for another go.

A few things. One you said you’re very judgmental. Yes you are quick to be judgmental and it’s pretty annoying. They went after the sub in the beginning because it was a nuclear sub. It’s not hard to imagine why they would live deep in the ocean. Whenever they got here to study us it was the one place they could go that we couldn’t. So they would be safe from us. They can see by our wars that they wouldn’t be safe if they revealed their self to us. Also, the breathable liquid is 100% real. That rat really breathed it in the movie.

I think the difference in time is due to PAL vs NTSC. The UK standard, PAL, runs 25 frames per second, and the North American Standard, NTSC, runs 24 frames per second. That difference, over the length of the film, is 8 minutes if you add up all those extra 1/25th of a second frames. I guess the question is what frame rate is Dawn filming at and what is the above video playing at?

I don't think you listened to her whole video at the end. She came to a realization of what you said.

I loved your reaction, Dawn, as usual. a few things to hopefully clear up: I'm one of the comparatively few people who has read the novelization of the film, which is an excellent book that Jim Cameron did everything he could to help the author really understand what Cameron was trying to convey. Orson Scott Card is a highly talented and very successful author (Ender's Game series is one of his best known set of novels). The novel helps to flesh out several of the characters AND the NTIs as well. The thing with the sub at the beginning was actually an accident. The NTI 'rover' had been in space disabling a weaponized satellite in orbit. The action actually killed the rover's biological inhabitant and the rover basically went into an autopilot mode to get back to the alien city as fast as possible. Lt. Coffey, the seal team leader was made a bit easier to empathize with. He had been very close to his single mother for a long time, until she remarried and basically forgot that Hiram existed. There are a few things about the seals that don't really make sense to me: To only send a fire team? seems odd given the circumstances... To send a fire team with TWO officers? REALLY strange.....(a normal seal platoon is 2 officers and fourteen enlisted men, 2 squads of 8) The fact that Coffey pulls out an Ingram subgun is outright ridiculous. Seals in that era would have had MP 5s of some sort FOR SURE. Michael Biehn, by the way, has played a navy seal in three different movies, The Rock, The Abyss, and Navy Seals. The alien city you remarked on it being 'small'. My estimate, made based on the relative sizes of the ships on top at the end, is that the city is roughly one mile in diameter. Maybe not enormous by human standards but we know next to nothing about how life IS for those creatures INSIDE the city. It is my belief that the aliens are actually colonizers and came in search of territory that mimicked their home world. After all there IS earth life that thrives in the depths, in the dark and the pressure. It's not that hard to imagine that an advanced life form might evolve on some distant planet in similar circumstances and then decide to migrate across the galaxy. This film is easily in my top five of all time currently. I'm glad you watched it!

I am UK and use 'VLC' to watch this and it does not sync. However if you change the speed settings in VLC (bottom right hand corner of VLC) to 1.04 speed it syncs perfectly Great reaction Dawn to one of my favourite films. Did you notice the Marine who went buggle to the water pressure? he was also in Aliens and more famously Kyle Rees in The terminator

This was a good movie, but there are many reasons why an underwater civilization could not develop. The main reason is without fire they could not smelt metals. Any primitive attempt to create electrical components would short out from being in water.
