Under Pressure: Making The Abyss

release year: 1993
genre: documentary
viewing setting: home DVD, 12/9/20

synopsis: This hour-long documentary explains the trials and tribulations of creating the 1989 film.

impressions: If you ever wanted to know how they filmed everything, and how that process stressed out the cast and crew, you need to see this documentary. A few high points I noted: Cameron was meticuklous to a fault, they had to find and fill the biggest water tank in the world, there was danger at all times, some of the cast were pushed to their breaking point and beyond.

final word: Must-see documentary for anyone who enjoyed the movie.
