Feels a little bit like a rehash of Alien and the screenplay is definitely tropey. But, man, Cameron directs the hell out of this and creates just the perfect atmosphere. It also had one of the greatest death scenes of all time, only to be ruined by turning it into a revival scene instead of a death scene. Edit: Oh shit, I guess I need to check out the Special Edition instead, which apparently fixes or at least substantially improves upon the bad ending.

A 2.5 hour movie with 4 hours of plot, and that's just scratching the surface of how overstuffed this film - the most James Cameron film yet made, until Avatar 2 - really is. There's five different endings and three major plot threads, and every one of Cameron's obsessions (deep sea exploration, the conflict between professionals and the military, large-scale disaster, and even his childish hippie side) is played at 11. Hardly his best, but nobody else would ever have had the balls to even try.

It's a good movie but what baffled me the most is the arrogance in it. We, divine human beings, do our utmost to rescue these petty, vulnurable creatures from a nuke. Really? Seen their ship?

THE ABYSS has a great idea and the movie is well done. James Cameron has a vision that he wants to tell and the movie touches. Unfortunately, it does not reach the highest score, but it is not far from it. A worth seeing sci-fi that unfortunately feels forgotten today.

It had some decent moments in the middle, nd the cast were more than capable. Although it kinda felt like Cameron wanted to make five different movies (Alien, Poseidon Adventure, some kinda hostage film, blockbuster adventure film, and then Close Encounters of the Third Kind), and I really wasn’t a fan of the last fifteen minutes. It also had many opportunities for emotional moments but tended to shy away from them unfortunately.

Made during the time when the world was egging to see a real E.T. but just couldn't. The pace is a bit glacial. My SCORING: 99-96=Great; 95-90=Very good; 89-85=Good; 84-80=So-so; 79-70=Boring; Below 70=Forget it.
