The Abyss was an awful terrible movie.

But it was the kind of awful/terrible that can still be enjoyed like Twister or Face Off.

regardless of your opinion of the Abyss, the technology that built the pseudopod was one of the contributors to this whole nutty medium . that's what i'm gettin at here, big guy.
Twister and Abyss in one sentence ?... ouch, that hurts.

I remain one of the few that actually got a kick out of Twister...

Oh Twister is fun to watch. Just like The Abyss, Face Off, and every Steven Segal movie is. But there's no denying it was horrible :P

Was going to be my next one!

Most films, in fact, are a quest to find something. And in that way The Wild can not be compared to anything else.

you guys will be surprised; i am, thats for certain. in terms of movie making , it's definitely pretty damn good. other factors such as similiarities, are always difficult to guess 4 years in advance. once you're handed the basic DNA of a movie you can only deviate so much. at least that's what we found.

Hollywood is a very odd dynamic of creativity, greed, imprisonment. you do the best you can under disfunctional circumstances.

It happens a lot, this, "who did what first". Even though I haven't seen HoodWinked, a lot of critics have been calling it a "Shrek" rip-off. Please. I don't have to see that film to realize that the plot is nothing like Shrek.

Or "Spirit" and "Home on the Range"....huh?? Yeah, they both seem to take place in the West or SouthWest....quick! Tell DW to STAY THE HELL away from Australia! Pixar already did that!

"El Dorado" and "Emperor's New Groove"--yeah, I always thought Miguel looked kind of like Pacha and Chel is the splitting image of Pacha's wife....and the horse kind of looks like Pacha's lama. Yeah, grounds for a lawsuit there.

Before Home on the Range got re-tooled it was Sweating Bullets, a western through the eyes of a horse... now what was Spirit? a western through the eyes of a horse... I hate this coincidental crap

To this day Twister remains one of my all time favorite movies. It's fun to watch and has a somewhat classy story line. Plus, speaking as a meteorology student, while there are many many liberties taken, the movie has much more to give from a scientific element than The Perfect Storm and certainly that crap we call The Day After Tomorrow. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed TDAT but the science behind it is crap, just doesn't work at any level.
