Save me from the ending!
The movie is at its most successful when it plays on your fears of the deep to create a tense atmosphere. What is more remarkable is that the special effect... read more
Solid sci-fi adventure!
James Cameron was indisputably one of the most influential directors throughout the 20th Century; with each new film brought new groundbreaking special effects as well as mind-blowing, innovative concepts.
The Abyss is undoubtedly a top notch, extraordinarily well made film that can be regarded as more of an underwat... read more

Favorite Movies of All Time (2015 Edition)
“
The whole reason James Cameron made the movie. Was due to dreams of tsunamis. So it’s weird that scene is only in the director’s cut. With aliens threatening to crush humans with a giant wave. It adds more to the movie.
Either way the Abyss was the strongest of the submarine underwater creature movies of 1989. Due to Cameron as director, fine effects and a great cast.
As well as more of an original story than just Alien underwater. Which the other underwater movies from 1989 were like. The Abyss is more about peaceful aliens that don’t like the violence humans cause.” read more

Hated or Divisive Movies That I LOVED (47 movies items)"Often Hated For: Being the "lesser" James Cameron movie, it's glacial pacing, and its ending. Reason I Love It: A great cast, escalating sense of tension and the awe of discovery, and, yes, its ending. "

BradWesley123's Movie Journal- May 2017 (33 movies items)" VHS- 2hrs. 20min. First Viewing James Cameron's story for the The Abyss is more interesting that the script allows it to be. The script doesn't really come together; producing solid scenes rather than a complete film. Technically, however, the film is exceptional for it's time (or any time, really). The visual effects, production design, sound, cinematography, etc.; Cameron certainly knows his way around making a film. If only he'd taken the time to write a better script for this one. Monthly"
Watched 2017 (34 movies items)"Goddamn you. You were on a fast track to become one of the best films I've seen in awhile but then you blew with the stupid, sappy ending. "
