Thus a posse of disparate scientists plumb the depths to investigate a massive spacecraft that has - judging by the coral encrusted upon it - been lodged at the bottom of the Pacific for around 300 years. ![]() Especially given the substance - alien contact - still Hollywood's flavour du jour.Ĭomparisons will inevitably be drawn with James Cameron's 1989 thriller The Abyss, but the "big idea" - a space odyssey that takes place underwater - can be copyrighted by Crichton, whose 1987 novel is followed here to the letter. Take a science-fiction best seller by uberscribe Michael Crichton, throw in a heavyweight cast, float the project on a $100 million budget, entrust it to the skilled hands of Barry Levinson (Diner, Rain Man, Bugsy) and you have a project that generates no small degree of expectation. ![]()
