Sci-Fi The Abyss....rewatched

[VictusMortuus]

The directors cut is the only way to watch it, the original is really good but after seeing the dc it makes the original feel like an incomplete movie.

Love this movie.

In fact, I love every James Cameron movie except Avatar. And no, that's not trendy bandwagon jumping...

I'll give Avatar another chance before I watch Way of Water on D+ next year.

Definitely give it another chance, especially if it’s been a long time since you last saw it. It might hit you differently a second time around like it did for me.

I love this movie too. I discovered it very late, within this past decade and just absolutely loved both cuts of this movie. Definitely Cameron’s most underrated film.

Cameron To Attend "The Abyss" Screening - Dark Horizons

4K version exists.

Unbeknownst to attendees (but later confirmed by festival programmers), the DCP presentation turned out to be the 4K transfer Cameron announced last year, physical and streaming versions of which he said were “out of his hands” but all work has long been completed. “All of the mastering is done and I think it drops pretty soon — a couple of months or something like that,” Cameron said in response to an audience question.

this is one of my all time fave of his films that is not part of his Terminator universe or a sequel to a film (Aliens). I have been hoping this and True Lies gets a proper HD release for years now.

 

[squeekness]

It's one of my favorites, too. Especially the director's cut. The cast was fantastic!

 

[Dave McFly]

the CPR scene is still white knuckle worthy Ed acted the HELL out of that scene!

the CPR scene is still white knuckle worthy Ed acted the HELL out of that scene!

That's how you know what a great actor he is. It was so heartwrenching and realistic.

IMHO director's cut of Abyss is still Cameron's greatest film.

I suppose UK regulations against “animal cruelty” in films is laudable. But any UK cinephile who wants a 4K copy of a 35-year-old movie is probably willing to import it — thus, bypassing the intent/spirit of the regulation.

BTW… according to reports, 5 rats were used for scene in question. All 5 survived and were given vet checkups afterwards.
