The low-budget "Deadly Abyss" creates a dreamworks dream 3D scene in the movie DreamWorks

author:Be open-minded

Based on Andrew Wight's true experiences during his cave exploration in Western Australia, the film was shot on a 3D camera from Avatar, with many tough underwater footage that tells the story of a cave escape.

  The film tells the story of diving expert Frank who leads an expedition deep into the barren land of Papua New Guinea, and just as the team is diving into the underground water cave, they encounter a super storm, and the sand and rain roll down and seal the only exit. Floods flooded into the caves, and all the members were in danger of drowning. To save yourself, you must use the only equipment in your hand to dive into the intricate underwater labyrinth and find a mysterious passage connecting to the sea.

  The film is based on an adventure by Andrew Waiter, who had divened several miles into an underwater cave when a strong storm landslide where he came in, trapping him in an underwater cave, and he was later rescued, which became the material for his screenplay.   

Frank McGill, who has extensive diving experience, has spent months diving expeditions near Essaala in Guinea on the South Pacific coast, with some caving expeditions. But these petty expeditions didn't satisfy McGill's ambitions, as there was a huge cavern that hadn't yet been explored. This cave, revered as the "Mother of Caves", is the largest, deepest, most complex, most dangerous, and most majestic and beautiful cave in the world. In order to become an explorer of famous history and create a world record for human cave diving, McGail pulled in investment and found a group of elite soldiers to prepare for cave exploration. Everything went very smoothly at the beginning, all the players showed good professionalism, all the equipment was top-notch, and all the plans looked seamless. But as the expedition team progressed, nature began to grow in threat— the roads became narrower, the waters became more and more turbulent, and the underwater terrain became more and more complex. At this time, Guinea entered the rainy season and a strong tropical storm hit the country. Continuous heavy rains caused the river to rise, and the water level underground also rose. Rainwater poured into the depths of the cave, creating a "flood" underground. The massive flood became an obstacle for the expedition team, and after losing several of its members, McGill and Josh and their sponsor, Carl Horey, faced with food and drinking water shortages, had to change their escape plans to return to the cave. They can only find their way to the ocean by diving in a complex labyrinth of cave water. At this time, McGail had to think about a question, that is, what is the master of human life? Is it humanity itself or the great power of nature? Perhaps in the cave situation, humans are just hurried and small passers-by. One of the screenwriters, Andrew Wight, was buried alive during an underground cave diving expedition in nullabor Plain, Australia, and escaped alive by several hard-working waterways, and wrote about the real story of this life-and-death line: The film tells the story of diving expert Frank who led an expedition deep into the barren land of Papua New Guinea, and just as the team members dived into the underground water hole, they encountered a downpour, and the sand and gravel rain rolled down and blocked the only exit. To save yourself, you must use the only equipment in your hand to dive into the intricate underwater labyrinth and find the secret road connecting to the sea!

Cameron said: "Avatar is a film that takes place in a scene built with pure computer technology, which can be said to be a fairyland or it can be said to be technology. And, my personal feeling is that the higher the cost of each frame, the farther it is from real life. So, for Avatar, the difference between 2D and 3D is not so big, but in "The Abyss", because all the scenes come from nature rather than imagination and design, 3D will become a kind of expressiveness, not just as technology as in the past 3D. Compared with Avatar, the 3D of Deadly Abyss is more realistic and more infectious. ”
