AVALON: BEYOND THE ABYSS is a pointless film. Sure, it features sun-drenched locales and cast members borrowed from BAYWATCH, but underneath the pretty shots and underwater photography there's absolutely nothing here, not even a real story. Instead we get hints of this and that and hell of a lot of yakking, but nothing else besides.

The title of this TV movie attempts to tie it into the Cameron blockbuster, but the two films have zero in common other than the underwater theme. The characters here are underwritten and the performances instantly forgettable. Sure there's some mild mystery and stuff about alternate realities but it's not enough to sustain a half hour TV episode let alone an entire movie running time, making this a complete waste of time.
