James Cameron's passion for uncharted depths sometimes goes beyond all bounds. 'Cause hatching out his new movie Calling the Abyss - This in itself is not an easy task if you are not a fan of the famous director. Telling about his dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, this is a creation from the category of those that can be turned on on the TV while you are preparing lunch or doing exercises. After all, even with a stereoscopic format stuck in the cinema, he has absolutely nothing to do.
And it only seems that Cameron's fault is not here. He is supposedly the main star, illuminating the depths of the sea with the lantern of his intellect. The directors were Andrew White and John Bruno, whose resume leaves much to be desired. Both have really worked with Cameron. Apparently he took them to clearly obey the commands, because the creator himself `` Titanic " discussed the future movie without even stammering about the presence of others behind it. In the end, he is that big boss and producer, to whom all faces are turned.
Moreover, everything that happens is so concentrated on one figure that you somehow forget about the abyss. Unhappy attempts to heat up passions fail one after another, plunging even deeper into sleep. The very same abyss, for the sake of which all this was started, seems to be an ordinary sea, very dark and, according to experts, deep. So, it is also impossible to draw out any solemnity or, even more, excitement from the miracle that just happened literally before our eyes.
Given that the movie is only 85 minutes long, it would cost a lot cut back, making perhaps even a short movie. Something like those few minutes from the same Titanic, where they show a sunken ship and an underwater expedition. After all, there were scenes about a ship, and here the whole movie is based on the story of Cameron, who sank under the water, and what a test it was for him.
If you recall documentary movies for example by the BBC about the underwater world of our planet, then immediately the actual wretchedness of Abyssal Challenge becomes apparent. Accompanied by a compelling yet interesting and engaging narrative of marine life, those movies inspired diving. Does Cameron's movie inspire something like that? Virtually devoid of any revelation about the abyss itself, it is sloppily pieced together from an apparently large amount of footage. full of claustrophobic shots of Cameron's submarine enclosed in the bluish glow and decidedly boring in every sense.
Going to the cinema will not even justify the presence of amazingly beautiful shots. Because their absence literally hurts the eyes. There are no impressive underwater movieing, no impressive ground. The stereoscopic format is simply not technically necessary for the captured frames. There's just not much to see with those glasses.
Three composers worked on the soundtrack for the movie. None of their tunes are memorable. None of them add anything to an already cooled spectacle. The soundtrack is just in the background. How could it never be went into the name. The immaturity of the movie can be blamed either on the overmaturity of the event, which took place in the distant March 2012, or on the obsession of everyone involved in the project with the figure of James Cameron. Cameron simply could not remove a more nondescript dull and depressing movie about his not just a hobby, but his real obsession. This tortured, painful spectacle is about nothing and not for anyone, except perhaps for Cameron's fans as a person. Everyone else can safely wait for the sequel to Avatar. except maybe Cameron's fans as a person. Everyone else can safely wait for the sequel to Avatar.except maybe Cameron's fans as a person.
