Love love love the movie "The Abyss!"
Really intense, gripping scifi thriller and James Cameron's most underrated film.
More mistakes in The Abyss
Bud Brigman: The guy is on his own, he's cut off from his chain of command, he's showing signs of pressure-induced psychosis, and he has a nuclear weapon. So as a personal favour to me, could you put your tongue in neutral for a while?!
Trivia: In 1987 Thomas Knoll made a program called "Display", as a side project. He showed it to his brother who worked at Industrial Light & Magic, and they used Display as the basis for their own effects program, which was used to create the alien water tube. The software was refined and named Photoshop, eventually demonstrated to Adobe in 1988, who bought the rights to distribute it.
Question: Is there any truth to the breathing fluid used in the high pressure suit? Is that a technology actually used and is it really possible to breath and survive like that?
Answer: The technology does exist, yes. Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_breathing for details.
