“It’s no fun anymore. It’s like going to the prom with your sister. You know nothing’s going to happen,” the captain of the Seawolf Class Attack Sub, the U.S.S. Jimmy Carter explains. Well, shows what he knows because Jimmy Carter is at that moment just minutes from being attacked by the electric blasts.
The arctic is warming. What’s causing it? The scientific consensus claims it’s man-made climate change. One scientist claims that the reason are energy transmissions from beneath the ice caps. The scientists decide to nuke the ice caps. I think that’s what’s happening. I’ve really no idea what’s going on. If energy is warming up the north pole, then why would anyone think that adding to that energy with nuclear bombs would do something productive?
Anyways, electric eels from a Sega Dreamcast game attack base and electrify everyone on board to death. The scientist who knew what was up is chilling in Sugarbush, Maine, when she is collected to get down there and figure out what’s happening.
I know she’s in Sugarbush because the film has black screens with white big letters and a wooshing sound whenever there is a new location. Don’t really see that in films.
The team heads down to a base on the bottom of the ocean, have some contact with the eels who look like they are some kind of seahorse eels and, well, it’s The Abyss. I think it’s The Abyss. The army wants to blow up The Abyss aliens, the scientist doesn’t. I might be wrong. This is a horrible film.
It stars David Keith (Firestarter), Mark Sheppard (Supernatural), Simmone Mackinnon (Python 2) and Sean Wahlen (The People Under the Stairs) and even Sean Wahlen knows he should be embarrassed to be in this crapfest. It was directed by Philip Roth who has only made flicks like this—none noteworthy.
Skip.
