- Finally, a sci fi movie with totally different atmosphere; I really loved how The Abyss showed off the horrors of being stuck under water. Remember, submarines are a big no no!

ED IS THE REAL DEAL. UP THERE WITH DENIRO & DAY LEWIS FOR ME. MR HARRIS DESERVES WAY MORE CHATTER ABOUT HIS VAST FILMOGRAPHY OF TALENT.
Have you seen him in Westworld? Sooo good!
His best role was in creepshow
Ed Harris should have won an academy award by now.
got 2 Golden Globes (1 for Christoph in The Truman Show)
big facts
@@karmakaze87 meaning?
@@zvimur Meaning... I agree. Ed Harris is one of the best underrated actors. Sorry I guess that was too much slang for your brain.
@@karmakaze87 about "big facts", wasn't sure if meant genuinely or sarcastically. Like "Big Deal".
What's really cool is how much technology they had to invent in order to film this movie. And those Garfield plush suction-cup window hangers were extremely popular back in the day.
Yeah, they were in pretty much EVERY minivan back in the day😆
yep, I was about 14 when this came out and we had a Garfield plush with suction cup on our car
Saw this in Theater in 89, my ninth grade, and i couldn't breathe because the water isolation and the magnitude of the visuals, so tense full
You mentioned the cgi ahead of its time. If I recall, this was the first big computer-aided fx film. It is the main reason the movie was a smash. Cameron came back with T2 and upped the bar again.
Modern CGI yes, but everyone can thank The Last Start Fighter for CGI being a part of movies.
@@The3rdGunman Yeah, I remember that one too.
This movie was not a smash. It made mediocre box office and lost a ton of money. I personally prefer the Directors Cut. I’d give that a 9/10. It has way more alien content.
Willow, The Abyss, T2 all made Jurassic Park possible. Than we were on our way with CGI
I remember seeing the water tentacle in the theater and at the time I didn't know what CGI was. It was like magic to me, I had no idea how they did that.
Great reaction guys, glad you really liked it. There was 2 other underwater movies at the time, try "Leviathan" or "Deep Star 6" both are more scary/monster type movies.
Virgil was played by Ed Harris. The Abyss was nominated for 4 Oscars, won for Best Visual Effects"
Love both of those movies. The Box Art for Deep Star Six haunted my childhood. I had to know what that diving suit with the missing chunks was about. It was just eerie.
Leviathan and Deep Star 6 are basically just jump scare monster movies.
The recent film Underwater is pretty much Deep Star 6 if you skipped the first part of the film to the disaster part.
I love seeing the look of wide eyed wonderment on your faces. Brings me back to my first time watching.
Ed Harris skyrocketed to fame with the movie The Right Stuff as test pilot Chuck Yeager. Totally bad ass!
Ed Harris was John Glen. Chuck Yeager was Sam Shepard
Actually, Chuck Yeager was played by Sam Shepherd... R.I.P.
I stand corrected. My apologies to the great people that movie represented.
I never noticed before, but I am amazed at just how much marine snow fell on the ship in the time between sinking and when they reached it. That stuff accumulates faster than we think!
The scene when Ed Harris' character does the RCP to Lindsey is one of the most intese scenes I've ever seen. The actors are great, her makeup is amazing, she looks like dead, she's blue. I mean, James Cameron... you're the king of the world !!!
The two water tanks used in the filming of The Abyss were specially constructed to hold large amounts of water. The first tank, based on the abandoned plant's primary reactor containment vessel, held 7.5 million US gallons of water and was 18 m deep and 70 m across. At the time, it was the largest fresh-water-filtered tank in the world. Additional scenes were shot in the second tank, an unused turbine pit, which held 2.5 million US gallons of water. As the production crew rushed to finish painting the main tank, millions of gallons of water poured in and took five days to fill. The Deepcore rig was anchored to a 90-ton concrete column at the bottom of the large tank
Winner of the Oscar for Best Visual Effects! This film had a lot of production problems as neither James Cameron nor the cast liked each other at all. After filming had wrapped, Ed Harris parked his car on the side of the road and started crying, knowing what kind of hell he went through.
If I remember correctly, Ed Harris swore he would never work with Cameron again. Cameron's reputation isn't great with a lot of actors he's worked with, but man, he delivers the goods on screen. Also, there's a lot more at the end in the special edition/director's cut. Not all of it works, but there is a lot more explaining the motives of the aliens.
@@jksgameshelf3378 Totally! Was blown away by the threat and then retreat based on Virgil and Lindsey's love for each other. They showed everyone how powerful they were too. It was a long ass time after I saw this in theater before I saw the scenes that had been cut. They really should have been left in.
The twin brothers with another reaction to a classic movie from Boys n the Hood to New Jack City, they are a two man committee and bring witty commentary with a genuine emotional reaction, but on the contrary while opinions vary I think it's very necessary to give them their props cause their rise to the top is about too take place. RUclips plaques are in their future and they haven't begun to taste the amount of success and impact that they will have reacting to classics like the Abyss for example. Continued success and I hope that we are blessed to continue to see natural reactions from classic films with ya'll reactionary gems. God Bless.
everyone should respect this movie. Not only for the movie itself, but when you look into how hard it was to make. Interview search some of the actors talking about doing some of these scenes...... INSANE!!!!!! top 100 best movies ever
Gotta watch Under Pressure - Making The Abyss. This was the film shoot from hell - it is legendary.
I wonder which would win the title between The Shining and The Abyss.
@@w1975b The Abyss. Lots of people almost died.
I remember my dad taking me to see this in the theaters. I was about 10 years and blown away by seeing this on the big screen.
Steve "Spaz" Williams was the CGI mastermind that created the aliens. He was also responsible for Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, Spawn and more. I met him and Todd McFarlane at a huge party in Toronto when Spawn was released, great guy and even better artist.
For all the technology and science this film employs, what brings me back to it all the time is the strength of the dynamics between the characters, especially the love between Bud and Lindsay, which whether you watch the theatrical or director's cut, saves the fucking world.❤
i'd recommend the critical drinkers production hell video on this movie just so you can get an idea of how much of a nightmare this movie was to make
Two of my three favorite 'death' scenes of all time (1949's BORDER INCIDENT when George Murphy has his legs shot out from under him, and he's forced to crawl across fields vs. a combine). ABYSS is a must-see on the big screen for many reasons, but when Ed's dragging Mary Elizabeth's drowned body - starting with this tiny dot in the middle of the screen, gradually getting closer and closer - wow. What a shot, and clearly impactful on the big-screen.
This is one of the few movies from way back where the visual effects still hold up, considering they had to invent a lot of processes and technology to achieve it. I think a lot of the movies where real risks were taken, especially by Cameron, really stand out. Titanic is another great example of that. Even though a lot of actors had bad things to say about working with him there's no doubt the fact that he's such a demanding perfectionist has payed off in the finished art.
Crimson Tide is another very intense submarine movie with some superior acting from Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman.
U-571 is a bit more tense, like silent suspense
@@maniac50ae14 And then there's Das Boot, the grand daddy of intense submarine movies.
The resuscitation part can be done.. Anna Bågenholm - Bågenholm was stuck upside down, after 40 minutes, she stopped moving. By the time the rescue team arrived, she had been under the ice for 80 minutes, and was frozen solid.
Her heart wasn’t beating, she wasn’t breathing. She was clinically dead. By the time she reached the operating room at the hospital, it had been more than 2.5 hours since she first fell in the ice, and her temperature was still an unprecedented 13.7 degrees Celsius (56.7 Fahrenheit).

@@angelagraves865 ill have to look into it
@@kylereese4822 i think you posted you comment in the wrong place... but interesting to know
This was such a great movie. The guy that ended up acting crazy was also in Aliens which was also written and directed by James Cameron.
With Terminator 1 and 2, Aliens and The Abyss James Cameron was an absolute revolutionary director of the 80's and 90's. Also, the lead actor here was Ed Harris, he is a phenomenal actor, he was in a lot of great movies in the past couple of decades. It's fun seeing you guys just now discovering movies and actors who many of us have known for a long time (probably bc we're older) :)
This is Cameron's Close Encounters of the Third Kind and I LOVE IT. The best role and performance for Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. This is one of Michael Biehns best performances.
And this movie features the greatest, most timeless and intense resuscitation scene ever put on film. It should be considering what Cameron put Mary Elizabeth through.
The look on her face when he is trying to bring her back to life and you can see the color coming back into her face absolutely phenomenal acting from every single character in this movie! Definitely underrated movie but it's a classic I love it
Two words: DIRECTOR'S CUT !!!! There are 20 min of important scenes put back in, including vital scenes that make the ending make sense
When you mentioned not wanting to be on a ship during a hurricane made me think of The Perfect Storm. It’s based on a true story. It’s a great movie. You guys need to watch that one.
Thanks, OctoKrool, for showing The Abyss, it's one of my favorites!!
A few details:
- Guy who has a crab slip out of his mouth underwater - J. Cameron's brother, who 'volunteered', and had actually crab crawl out with 'dead' make up on and no oxygen (a tube used).
- After the few shots of 'falling down', Ed has been handled an air tube wrongly, so he got some water with it in his lungs and started drowning for real, and when he signed for 'cut the scene', Cameron asked for a couple more shots, before emerging. Right after it, Harris punched Cameron in the face and when day wrapped up, he nearly crashed, stopping on the roadside towards the motel, weeping and sobbing for half an hour or so.
- Funnily enough, Mary Elizabeth got smacked around hard for real by Ed during CPR (Ed is a method actor after all), and at some point she couldn't take it, so she sauntered off the scene, with them doing POV shot from her position, since she couldn't bring herself to continue on with the scene.
- Also, she was for real dragged through water with Ed, since puppet couldn't really give the reality of the underwater drowning (as per Cameron).
- Funnily enough, Cameron spent most of the time underwater, up to 14 hours, before going dry and eventually moving towards the scenes 'on the shore'.
- Place where they were filming, was actually an unfinished nuclear powerplant base (basically the building pot for all the concrete), where they filled it with water and covered whole top with black rubber foam, to create ocean floor darkness effect. At some point during the shooting of the 'rescue the sub' scene power went out, so Michael Biehn ('stached seal leader) had to stand in the dark for nearly twenty minutes in the opaque water, afraid to move. And oh, that rig they're all on for the most part - real thing, built from scratch.
- Also, the longer cut of the movie - Director's Cut - expands on the nuclear threat and in the end it turns out that whole storm thing is an alien warning to "play nice, or else", turning point being Bud's compassion for everyone, when he disarmed the bomb, no matter the race or nation.
- And oh, the thing with the mouse? An actual stuff. Cameron learned about it like, 3 months or so prior to starting the shoot. It allows a proper breathing via liquid-esque oxygen, only thing you gotta be warned about - you'll have to chew down antibiotics for a while, since it washes off the protective layer of the lungs, which grows back over after a couple of weeks.
Hands down, this is by far the best Underwater movie. Love it since back in the days. Still have the book somewhere here...
The liquid used to breathe underwater in this film is real and, while the actors weren't allowed to use it due to insurance, the scene with the rat being put under was really done. They filmed the scene five times, with five different rats, and all were fine except for one which panicked and suffered from a heart attack but was revived by James Cameron and then kept by him as a pet.
Michael Biehn is an exceptional actor as well. He does the crazy so well.
Hate is on the other side of love. The true opposite of love is indifference.
This movie, in terms of special effects, was a testing ground, for what they used in Terminator 2. Particularly for the T-1000
People who know about this movie probably assume rest of the world also knows. How could you not? Glad you guys saw this. Sphere (1998) is another cool one.
You are talking about how great the CGI was "...for 1989". This was the first movie to utilize computer graphics on this scale. And it's what allowed Cameron to make his next movie, "Terminator 2" in '91. After that every special effects house in Hollywood was booked up making "Jurassic Park" for Spielberg for summer '93. Now entire movies are made without sets, just green screen and computer generated environments. Wait... you don't know Ed Harris? Oh, dear....
Rat almost dies* "NOOOO!!! please no OMG!" 😲 Man dies* "damn, ehh man i told you he was gonna drown" hahaha fucking awesome
Great movie. I read this book too which was based on the screenplay. This holds a special place in my heart
I had a friend that claimed to get a big laugh in the theater during the disarming scene by shouting out "I said a BUD LIGHT" :-p
I stopped my life to see this reaction. "The Abyss" is a wonderful experience to have (and see).
Unfortunately people thought it was too long. I grew up watching it and I have always loved this movie.
Nice !
You guys should watch the extended directors cut. It has an extra half hour of footage and tells the story better and tells more about the aliens.
32:00 No joke, I thought the same thing after watching this again since I was a kid, it really does look kinda like a Covenant ship, especially with the color scheme and bright neon lights, and I love me some Halo 😇 Great reactions guys, this movie is still a lot of fun 👍👍
This movie was gruelling to make, mostly underwater, the cast had to learn how to dive and the set was built in the base of an abandoned nuclear power station which was half-built.
This movie is non stop awesomeness….I remember we went and saw this in the theater 3 times…so good!!!
I've watched this movie before, It's fun. However, It was more fun watching you guys watch it. I hope you do Quest For Fire one day. It might not be very popular, but I think it's up there on the comedy meter. I noticed that you both have clear drink cups today, I don't think either of you took many sips. You're the squiggly eyebrow guys, in my mind, when looking for something to watch. So glad to have found you, I lost my last favorite show when they broke up, it just wasn't as much fun watching one person.
11:39 .......that's the face everyone has when they see an old man on a skateboard performing a grind....
Congrats, you got a spit-take out of me with your pronunciation of "epitome." Best. Leo.
There is one hour documentary on the insanity of making this movie. Most of the actors did almost all of there own stunts. The technology for the underwater sequences and the dive equipment used had to basically be invented by the film team. Since Cameron is a diving expert and has experience with diving equipment he designed most of the technology. Filmmaking is not James Cameron's real passion but deep sea diving is. He actually holds records in deep sea diving.
I'm happy to find you guys! I love this movie so much. I had to chuckle when you said eh-pi-tome. It's pronounced eh-pit-oh-me. It shows you are well read, but never heard it spoken, which happens to me all the time! Lol!
this movie is great, the book is AWESOME, the 1st several chapters follow all the main characters as children so you understand why they act the way they do as adults. PLUS, so much of the story is missing, SOME of those things are in the Special Edition version of the movie.
The Director's Cut adds so much.
I love Michael Biehn’s performance
The effects in this movie was a test run for James Cameron to make Terminator two
The technology that made that water tentacle possible is the same technology that made the T1000 in Terminator 2 three years later.
Amazing movie!
The alien world reminds me of Avatar.
Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio was the Scarface sister.
They designed the underwater helmets to be clear so you can see the actors face so the audience could tell it really was the actors doing the underwater scenes.
The tanks used for underwater were covered with thousands of black beads/balls to darken the underwater.
James Cameron dud an excellent job. You have to see the director's cut....
By the way, love the Texas Tech T-shirt! I'm a native Texan.
Actually the Garfield is a super inside joke I got this from my friend who was crew aboard the Enterprise back in the 80s
One of the crew thought it would be funny to put a Garfield on the inside window of the reactor door during maintenance. and of course heads rolled and for years there was a Garfield locked away in the contamination room on the ship.
Cameron must of heard the story from someone, or maybe those Garfields were really popular back during the production. Cool story anyway.
There's an alternate ending to this movie that explains some things. I'm not usually a fan of alternate endings, but for this one, I think they should have kept it instead of the ending that made the theatrical cut.
You guys NEED to watch the special edition version. Just the last few minutes, just the parts after the wire is cut on the nuke. It puts the whole meeting with the aliens in an ENTIRELY new context that is superior to this trimmed-down version.
Great reaction and post discussion! You both should watch & react to John Carpenter's - Starman, movie film from 1984. You two are the best.
I heard he made that as an apology after The Thing being so horrific lol.
If you watched the director's cut, you would have seen that the aliens weren't quite as friendly as they are depicted in this movie. And the only CGI in the movie was the water probe. All the ships and the city was all done with models.
The extended / director's cut is amazing..!!! Way better than the theatrical cut..!!!
Nice little attention to detail - after Ed Harris/Virgil throws the wedding ring in the toilet his hand is blue for the rest of the movie.
Oh man. You boys gotta check out underwater next.
Love this channel guy's... 37 year old plumber from Australia keep up the good work🤘
31:55 That's my reaction when I first saw it a long time ago LOL!
Ed Harris underrated my fav actor and this movie in my top 5 movies ever all aspect good movie and guys long different ending version but I think this is beter
The scary thing about this is that they discovered more in space than our on backyard which is the ocean
Yeah, this is a good one for edge of the seat stuff. Interesting setting. I am a submarine veteran so this is kind of my old stomping grounds though we never saw anything but a kick ass submarine. Our boats are starships for water.
thats Ed Harris man cmon man The Rock? Truman Show? Enemy at the Gates? Apollo 13? The Right Stuff? Field of Dreams.. A Beautiful Mind, the list goes one for him he's great!
This movie is my favorite I think or one of my top three anyway; especially the extended version. So glad to see someone react to it. I couldn't tell if you were watching the director's cut or not, but that one has an entirely different vibe and reveal. I like that no one ever really knows if they're actually aliens or just an alien life-form to us because they live in the depths of the ocean, but I kind of like the latter explanation. But what really sells the movie is the underwater family and especially how the marriage is complicated but comes through so strongly. Ed Harris is a damn genius actor.
The funniest thing about this story to me is it was James Cameron's first underwater adventure and it was 3 hours with its extended version/original cut, but at the time you couldn't write a movie script more than a certain number of pages because they didn't want movies clock over 2 hours runtime, so he changed the margins on his script try to get away with it. Which meant the studio made him cut out practically the entire meaning of the movie for the theatrical version, but he kept insisting people would sit through a 3-hour movie if it was good enough. He got his proof of that when he released Titanic a few years later; proof that people will sit for who-knows-how-long in a theater if the movie is badass enough, and also if you can sell the story. And since it was his other water movie, it was kind of like his Redemption. And now that I think about it it's kind of a precursor to Avatar, too, with all the glowy shit.
Dana says- One of my favorite scify movies. Lindsey's "death" scenes, come on!
Such an awesome movie. The effects & everything was ahead of its time. If you want a good laugh, watch Kung Pow, enter the fist.
And you thought the mother ship in "Close Encounters" was big!
“Ep-pit-Oh-me”.
Flight of the navigator from early 80's,fun-eerie abduction type.
Dig yer reactions,congrats!
Not sure if anyone recommended Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Wishmaster or Waxworks. I'd love to see your reactions to those.
Also Night of the Creeps or the most recent Slither.
Killer Klowns from Out Space is actually one of my favorite horror comedies, that movie is something I'd have loved to get a sequel; so much crazy and cool stuff they could do with it!
One thing though: "This guy is the epi-tome..."? It's e-pit-o-me! 4 syllables! I made that mistake once too.
just now seeing your comment lol...I posted the correct pronunciation also
Yeah; I hate to be "that guy", but (even though it is 30mins longer than this already long movie) you HAVE to see the extended directors cut.
It is awesome and in many ways a very different film.
I said it before and I will say it again: _I need this movie on BluRay!_
Cameron is supposedly finally working on Blu-ray’s for this movie AND True Lies and it’s long overdue.
Ed Harris movie The Right Stuff it's about first Astronauts
Such an underrated movie!
T´Leth the Alien city at the end. ty for this
You should react to don’t be a menace made in (1996) with marlon wayans in it with his brother as the main character it’s a real good comedy movie.Keep up the work up twins 👯♂️
If you guys liked this as a feel-good alien movie, you should definitely check out Mission to Mars.
If you're interested...check out the documentary about the filming and what they went through for this movie. It was a torture chamber... literally.
Funny seeing two grown men loose their shit over a rat's fate... More so than in other parts of the movie! I'd like to know the backstory on that one, lol...
Shooting movies underwanter is always a nightmare
And this movie is no different.
To keep money, the crew found a giant reservoir, they where like "Ok its good enough" and build there sets in it and filled it with thousands upon thousands of liters of water...
Issues is that this Reservoir din't have a filtration systeme..., so after a week or so of shooting, they started to have algea growing in it and on the sets that where submerged and turning everything into green, water included.
So they naively just poured Chlorine in it...like a TON...
I worked, no more algea..., but since the crew and actors had to stay submerged under water for 12 hours a day... i let you imagine how delightful that was for their eyes and skins...
One night, when everyone was out, Cameron dived in gear to check on the Set the night before shooting a scene.
Issue is that some part of the set, came loose and trapped him under it..., nearly drowing him, with no one who knew he was under there, luckily he managed to get out.
The Cast was so exhausted and pissed, that Ed Harris punched Cameron and nearly walked away from the movie, Cameron is a perfectionist and a Workalholic, so if he is willing to work 16hours a day on the movie to make it perfect, for him,the others should show the same commitement.
Now its not that the others din't had commitement, but they where just exhausted, been submerged and diving continously underwater is a taxing activity for us Land dwellers.
Ed Harris also nearly drowned in the scene where he "Breath" the Amniotic liquid, wich was not a real liquid, so it was really just Harris with his Diving gear full of liquid, quickly taking a deep breath, putting the gear on, having it filled with that orange liquid, acting his scenes, and try to not drown in the thing.
You gotta see the Directors Cut of this movie. That is after you check out the cinematic masterpiece known as Baby Boy.
i still think michael biehn is an amazing, underused, actor
You guys gotta watch Waist Deep. Haven’t seen that in a long time but it’s one of my favorite gangster movies
The year this came out, I was a college freshman, and there was this theater that would get second- or third-run movies, and they'd show them for a buck. Having nothing else to do, I went to see this, and it blew my mind.
A couple of months after you've seen this version, you need to watch the FULL version, where there's international tension that this version barely hints at, and the aliens' gesture at the end is even more amazing. You won't believe it.
Should do a reaction to the making of “The Abyss”. Like most of Cameron’s movies, they will never shoot a movie like this again.
You guys would get a kick out of the making of the Abyss. Free on YT and super interesting as well.
You need to check out the extended version of this film.
The abyss is my moms favorite movie I genuinely don’t know how y’all have never seen it, it was on USA all.the.time.
I love it too but like I get it now. It’s just a very hopeful movie. The good guys win, the aliens live and help out the humans, even Virgil gets the girl (back). Just a hopeful vibe all around.
Also check out my man Virgil being all vulnerable and shit. You love to see it.
PS YES THE SPOREBATS. I hated farming them because of this movie :( pretty sure Blizzard did that shit on purpose.
you should see the extended version of this movie. It has more story to it.
Please React To KUNGFU HUSTLE you will be laughing
Want to hear a secret...?
They weren't aliens. They were another intelligent species that evolved on Earth, but in the ocean abyss, rather than on land (explaining why humans hadn't crossed paths with them, the abyss hadn't been explored at that point). "As above, so below." This was their first moments of contact, and included the tension of a nuclear warhead. The humans were shocked at the presence of the deep sea species, but they already knew about humans. This was shown when they displayed news feed of war to Virgil. They saw the warhead and understood that it was close and could annihilate their civilization. As for their ability to manipulate water... It follows that as an intelligent/advanced technological civilization that evolved in the depths/pressures of extreme deep water, they would learn to manipulate their environment. Humans do too, but as Lindsay said our equipment is clumsy by comparison. They were more advanced than us. (Which also follows, as the best current explanation for the origin of life was around the vents in the deep ocean, so they would have a billion years headstart on land animal evolution) 😉
Btw, fantastic reaction. Subbed. ✌
The CGI was incredible for its time and it still looks good. Cameron has always tried to push the boundaries.
And like others said, directors cut changes the story quite a bit! You did get the main thing right, humans are the worst.
