I think it’s the best movie Cameron made. Do check out Cameron's interview after a 2023 showing on YouTube where he talks about the filing process. I guess he nearly drowned during production.

One of the best movies ever made, combines the awe and mystery of the deep ocean exploration, the tension, the action, and the personal touch of human-like relatable characters (something contemporary writers simply can't grasp, it seems).…

In order to placate nervous Fox executives who wanted a more flexible theatrical running time, Cameron cut his initial 171-minute version down to 145 minutes. To do that, however, he didn’t just trim walks down hallways and such. Instead,…

One of James Cameron's Best. Period. The 3 hour Version flies by! Shame they never made a blu ray but rumour is that its getting a 4K remaster.

Basically, it's like the underwater version of 'Close Encounters Of The Third Kind' and I actually like it a little more than that '70s classic, even if it is, overly long, it's still a near classic (?)... Great acting (Biehn, Harris and…

There are two problems baked into watching this film: it’s basically 3 hours long, and Ed Harris nearly died because James Cameron was too taken with how cool it looked when he started actually drowning to call for a rescue team. Now, if…

Being a James Cameron film, I was disappointed. It was a bit exhausting to watch. I had to break it up and watch it over 2 days. Too much fiction, not enough science and the end was way too Disney. I didn’t hate it, but I would have liked…

This is the first time I've never really been engaged by a James Cameron, who manages to cobble something interesting together onscreen. The Abyss was just a tad too clinical & scientific for me, lacking a compelling story or characters…

Yep, finally saw this one. I enjoyed it, even Ed Harris as a leading man. A precursor to Cameron's AVATAR hit.

Longish ,.. but a good sci-fi yarn well spun. Some great acting, and awesome yet realistic underwater effects.

Sound and Very well done old school sci-fi movie. I would recommend this movie for all to see. Well worth the price of admission to any theater
