THE ABYSS

Because it had everything. Excitement, action, wondrous creatures, a wide variety of characters, and lots and lots of humour! The underwater special effects were fantastic, although the above-the-water alien craft did leave a little to be desired. With today’s special effects abilities, it would be incredible!

I love this movie and watch it over and over. The wonderful relationship between the Ed Harris character and the Mary-Elizabeth Mastrantanio character is so real. I feel at home with these characters.

THE ABYSS: SPECIAL EDITION

I know it might not count of a film is great in its special director’s edition version, but this should be an exception. The Abyss: Special Edition is one of the truly greatest science fiction films ever made. It’s sad that James Cameron had to cut this film to be released in theaters.

Still, what we saw on the big screen was hardly amateurish or bad. It had its strong points and its weak points as all films do. But the original breathtaking ending that Cameron had created is sorely missing.

This is a sci-fi masterpiece. I think it should be given a little more respect.
