What I instantly thought of was `The Abyss`. It was referenced towards the end and it appears the rat -and not the actor- was submerged in this fluid. Very coo

- joshschreuder 11y agoFor me it reminds me of the LCL in anime series Evangelion. I have seen it pop up a few times in modern sci-fi.
- M4v3R 11y agoSame. NGE is actually referenced in the "Fiction" section of the wiki entry, along with others.
- rollthehard6 11y agoInterstellar seemed to suggest use of a similar method when the astronauts were in hibernation.
- codezero 11y agoAlthough I am wearing a scifi hat, not reality, assuming they don't need to breathe in hibernation, the full fluid immersion is probably a good way to regulate internal body temperature.
- jeeva 11y agoI seem to remember this being in the book "The Sphere", though I might be wrong. I actually always thought that it was something rarely-used-but-possible. The overlap between close-to-current sci-fi and real life in my brain is occasionally saddening/shameful.
- codezero 11y agoThis is why I posted the link. I never realized the liquid was real and that the scene was shot using it. After watching the scene I thought, did they drown that rat? Effects were good, but not that good!
