    Editorial Reviews

    James Cameron's spectacular underwater adventure The Abyss, which cost a then-unheard-of $50 million and was dismissed by many as a shipwreck of a movie, has nonetheless been a hit with home viewers. The Special Edition incorporates 28 minutes of footage excised from the theatrical release and restores the Titanic director's original vision, filling plot holes left by the studio cuts. Ed Harris is an undersea oil-rig engineer hired by the Navy to investigate the mysterious immobilization of a nuclear submarine. His estranged wife and fellow specialist, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, comes along on the mission, as does paranoid naval lieutenant Michael Biehn, whose deteriorating mental health endangers them all. The discovery of alien life-forms underwater adds to the tension, which is further enhanced by Cameron's claustrophobic settings. The restored footage answers most criticisms of this picture, enabling The Abyss to finally take its rightful place among the modern classics of sci-fi movies. Ed Hulse, Barnes & Noble

    The Abyss is a great beer and pizza movie!by Jacks_Back

    March 16, 2009: Outstanding performance by Ed Harris complemented by great visuals and special effects. Script and acting provide a believable and upbeat scenario to the First Contact theme. Shows the good and bad aspects of humanity confronting the unknown - altruism and fear, trust and suspicion.

    Definitely a great addition to any DVD collection.
