9914: No, the movie "Abyss" does not tell the Story of the Abyssals and why they hate humanity. The Abyssals are not made by the aliens in the movie in stead of the gigantic waves. And no, the Abyssals don't operate out of a gigantic underwater city.
9914a: We think.
9914b: We hope.
Dear Mr. Cameron!
After viewing your much-acclaimed blockbuster movie "Abyss", we (the allied Abyssal fleet) have decided to come together and compile a document complimenting and also criticizing many elements of the movie.
Firstly, the more scientifically literate amongst us would like to compliment you on your accuracy in portraying life in an underwater deep sea drilling rig. WOrktown watched it in San Diego and Alvin especially seemed to be fascinated!
However, he also did not hesitate to point out that, to maintain a moonpool at such depths would not only require a very high interior pressure. Furthermore, any change in depth by the base (such as experienced when the Deep Core fell down the cliff edge) would result in the flooding of the moonpool room due to change in exterior water pressure.
Another point of criticism is the depiction of the military in the movie. Most military personnel is depicted as almost cartoonishly evil, which is frankly not true. The movie seems to agressively promote a "Make love, not war!" agenda. Every soldier to ever enter combat is branded a bad person by the film, which is not an entirely accurate and grossly oversimplified view.
Also, we strongly advise against the viewing of the movie by the more emotional shipgirls, especially by the submarines. The footage of the sunken wreck of the SSGN USS Montana is graphic in places and has caused many bouts of PTSD amongst the submarines of various bases.
The same goes for any of the Crossroads veterans. The movie shows footage taken from these tests, the Germans had to coax Prinz Eugen out of her room with a literal ton of pudding and Nagato has remained catatonic.
Lastly, we'd like to clarify a thing: No. No, Abyssals don't live in a gigantic underwater city. You won't believe how often we've heard this now.
On this note, we'd like to congratulate you for the movie's success and wish you and your Career the best of luck for the future!
Signed, allied Abyssals and shipgirl compliment.
