In fact, this entire movie is breathtaking. Even though this movie was created in 1989, the computer animations were still marvelous and breathtaking. This was a beautiful, well-crafted movie with some very fine acting and with some excellent special effects. It was something completely different from what we were used to see and it worked perfectly. What I liked so much about this movie was that this time the aliens didn't feel threatening at all. But they do not only find the crashed sub, they also find out that there is more down there in the deep than what they had ever expected to see. They are joined by some navy SEALS who will help them to locate and investigate the cause of the crash. That's why they contact a group of workers of a nearby underwater oil rig, who reluctantly accept the job. They want to salvage the wreckage as soon as possible, because a storm is coming, but they aren't able to send a diving crew of their own that quickly. When an American nuclear submarine is attacked during the cold war and crashes, the navy is convinced that it was the work of the Russians. Even though this was made by James Cameron, the same director who gave us "Aliens", both movies are very hard to compare. When we think about aliens in the movies, I guess everybody immediately thinks about the series of "Alien" - movies, but there are some other fine examples and "The Abyss" may well be the best alternative I can come up with.
