The Abyss

A fantastic story of aliens, or Atlantians, or whatever who are concerned about the violence on planet earth and create some fantastic water warnings (like the Great Flood?) for the humans. What stops them from destroying the earth, Ed Harris' character gives his life to defuse a nuclear weapon that has sunk to the bottom of the abyss, where the aliens live. He knew it was "a one way ticket when he left." And he told his girlfriend that he loves her. This simple message - self-sacrifice and love of a woman - is enough to stop the aliens' judgment. I don't see how you get anything out of this story unless you have faith in the God of the bible. Otherwise, it's just a silly, unbelievably fantastic and hopeful peacenik story. It is only worth watching if you see the Judgment God of the Bible holding back His anger because of the one-way ticket of His Son, which was not really a one-way ticket. Neither was Ed Harris' trip to the bottom; he was raised up from "the Abyss." Sounds almost like a catechism question. Modern movies make no sense and are mere explorations of fantasy and sentimentality, unless interpreted through the lens of the gospel.
