Show Movie Review f L AR SIX 1 2 1 v ry by Mike ke Richan Staff Staf Writer Under water no one can hear you scream This time its it's war Save your last breath to laugh at Six I Its It's s 's no coincidence that James Cameron the creator of Aliens a truly frightening g film has been filming an underwater underwater underwater under under- water thriller called The Abyss which is scheduled for release this summer Leave it to Sean Cunningham the creator of House to rip-off rip Cameron fore and aft heres here's an underwater monster movie complete with a team of military personnel a huge nuclear explosion and calculatingly charac charac- Wow what a formula its it's bound to work whenever anything anything any any- thing is supposed to be tense the film artificially creates suspense nse by throwing the team members around to push buttons buttons buttons but but- tons flip levers and seal portals spouting technical mumbo- mumbo jumbo in extremis It wears thin quickly And so do the unending plot problems This underwater team is deploying a missile base and has selected a site just over a giant cavern most likely a cavern containing a giant reptilian sea-devil sea of the deep The monster thinks anything lit is food so it pummels their base to bits and starts a nuclear supercritical super aft cal reaction chain-reaction so completely different from any other film weve we've ever seen that it could only have been beel in Aliens Next particularly inept members crew-members push some wrong buttons in their haste to be intense and now they're running out of air Will they get to the surface before the whole thing blows up Will the monster eat them before they can decompress Will it huh will it Though the film puts on all kinds of scientific airs it has a lot lotof lotof lotof of complications you never really buy The size ize of the monster is constantly changing You can never quite get a fix on it When you finally see it its it's not nearly as scary as the team thinks it is Though humans who rise to the surface in this film without decompressing will have their veins pop in gory detail the monster shoots up unharmed ready to play Generally sappy ridiculous bloody disgusting unbelievable and artificial this film has it all It doesn't take much to realize the rip-off rip extends only to plot summary and the films film's adver adver- Six and Aliens are at opposite ends of the quality scale 2 1 |
