Peter G. (247 KP) rated The Abyss (1989) in Movies
Jun 5, 2019
This undersea action thriller is intriging with a slow start as the tension builds into one of the best sci-fi actioners out there, with an Eco message we should all heed.
Camera work is top notch and underwater scenes gripping and although not the most scientifically accurate, the balance ensures exciting viewing.
This movie has depth way beyond that of the sea it is set in.

Still not sure about this one, the Sci-fi is sound and action is plentiful, however Jodie foster I found to be a poor baddie and punching above her weight, Sharlto Copley actually saves this one from petrol station reduced bin mediocraty for me, Neill Blomkamp's direction is razor sharp and in keeping with his usual style, not one I return to rewatch often.

I got this free on the Amazon Kindle store so figured I might as well give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. It had elements of sci-fi but the usual Young adult genre fit right in. I enjoyed learning about all the characters and finished this book rather quickly. I am now on the second and there are 2 more after that!

I actually really enjoyed the first book in this series. It’s got decent world building and character development. It suffers a bit from the trend to make absolutely every young adult sci-fi/fantasy novel into a series, which means you’ll be left hanging a bit at the end. Gotta keep you coming back for more.
Overall, the first book gave me high hopes for the series.

Wow! This novel deserves all the hype it gets. It's manages to be incredibly magical in such a sci-fi world, yet still remaining relatable. The characters are beautifully rounded and strong. The one downside is, if you have very little knowledge of 80's pop culture references, you may find yourself lost in this one.

Unique
This movie turned out to be pretty fun and entertaining. The acting was just ok but the cinematography was very unique. The story itself was interesting too. All shot from the main character's point of view. It was full of action(some pretty graphic so probably not for kids). If you enjoy sci-fi action movies, this one will appeal to you. Worth a watch!

This book is what was picked for my book club. I enjoyed the flow of the story,and it's one of the first books in a long time, barring fantasy and sci fi, that I have sped through.
Although having said that I thought the ending would have been more conclusive than it was.
All in all I would deffinately read more by Muriel Spark.
