Abominable

About This Movie

Abominable (2020) has this gritty, intense atmosphere that really captures the essence of isolation in the Himalayas. The pacing is pretty deliberate, building tension as the research team uncovers the remnants of a previous expedition. The practical effects used to bring the Yeti to life are quite impressive, adding a tangible fear that’s often missing in CGI-heavy films. The performances are solid; you can feel the weight of their desperation and fear as they confront this creature. It dives into themes of nature versus science, and how far people will go for their ambitions. It’s not your typical monster flick, which is what makes it stand out, and the ending leaves you questioning the cost of their quest.
