In the disaster movie genre, this is just okay and nothing that really stands out.

I admire the ambitions and the most exciting thing is actually that it was filmed to some extent in Kiruna, which gives the film a little extra edge. Imagine if it could actually happen?

Sure, if you want a serious disaster movie where the subject of family is at the center, absolutely. But to be honest, I've seen other Hollywood movies do it just as "well" and still deliver on the action front.

Could the 'first really big disaster film of Sweden' be something worth having? Yes, it sometimes bursts at the edges but still shakes - in a truly Swedish way.

According to a well-known film concept, a battered core family is in focus, updated with Tuva Novotny's hands-on heroine. The drama has its flaws, but the action scenes are where they need to be.

A well-crafted Swedish disaster film about a family in a crisis-ridden Kiruna. Suspense that follows the molds of how Hollywood usually handles the genre. For better or worse.

"The Abyss" is the first truly big Swedish disaster film, and depicts a collapsing Kiruna. Unfortunately, it has a bit of trouble filling the big Hollywood costume.

"The Abyss" starts quickly and effectively, but then several scenes are in neutral.

In summary, "The Abyss" is a natural addition to the disaster film genre and definitely a film that does best in the cinema.

Plastic clichés, semi-mafia-esque special effects, and grand ambitions. "The Abyss" is a Swedish disaster film that manages to avoid collapse largely thanks to Tuva Novotny's dedicated performances.

The finance manager might want to put a little more effort into the script next time.

The abyss shows that it is possible to make good, effective Swedish genre film. Just don't be afraid to really shake up Sweden next time.
