The Abyss update feed
“
The whole reason James Cameron made the movie. Was due to dreams of tsunamis. So itโs weird that scene is only in the directorโs 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 donโt like the violence humans cause.” read more

"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. "

" 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"
"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. "
"When: August 14th First-Time Viewing: Yes. How: DVD from my collection. What'd I Think?: Exciting, amazing visual effects, and a surprisingly poignant ending, make this one special adventure film. My Rating: 9/10 Other Notes: I watched the Special edition version."
