Movies like The Abyss present smart science fiction with a great mystery, in some cases underwater and in others in the deep trenches of space. Out of all James Cameron's films, The Abyss seems to be the one that's forgotten more often than others. In fact, the special effects on The Abyss could be considered the precursor to what was later done on Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Released in 1989, The Abyss sees a search and rescue mission for a sunken submarine discover something unexpected. 2j6e11

The 2023 Swedish film The Abysstells the fictionalized story of the disastrous earthquakes in Kiruna, Sweden, leading up to the tragic but promising ending for its central characters. The film primarily follows Frigga Vibenius, the head of security at the Kiruna mines, who is divorcing her husband, Tage Vibenius. The Abyss picks up on their son Simon's birthday, which is accompanied by alarming seismic activity near the mine. Despite Simon being missing, Frigga must head to the mine to determine the potential risk.

Netlix's The Abyss is based on the 2020 Kiruna mine earthquake in Kiruna, Sweden, but what caused this disaster? While increased seismic activity can be natural and unavoidable, it's noted in the 2023 disaster thriller that the earthquake that set the film's series of unfortunate events rolling was the result of mining. In real life, the Kiruna mine earthquake was indeed caused by humans, but the factors involved were far more complicated than The Abyss described.

Netflix's 2023 movie The Abyss is based on the real-world Kiruna Mine disaster of 2020, but the film missed several factors of the actual event. The Swedish disaster movie pulls through on its genre by featuring scene after scene of brutal deaths related to a devastating act of god, and the fact that it is based on actual events makes it all the more chilling. However, when looking at the actual Kiruna mine and the earthquake that made headlines in 2020, it's clear that the film took creative liberties while leaving out several key details.

The 2023 Swedish disaster movie The Abyss quickly made its way into the streaming giant’s Top Ten, but it might not be for everyone.

A bomb expert calls out the sci-fi movie The Abyssfor its lack of realism.

The Abyss was James Cameron's most challenging movie to shoot by a long margin, with Avatar: The Way of Water seeming positively easy by comparison.

Many of his productions had difficult shoots, from Aliens - where he clashed with his British crew repeatedly - to the notorious Titanic shoot.
