"Heart stopping…white knuckle…deep sea thrills." - David Ansen, Newsweek
In this thrilling, underwater action adventure from writer-director James Cameron (Titanic, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Aliens), a civilian oil rig crew is recruited to conduct a search-and-rescue effort when a nuclear submarine mysteriously sinks. One diver (Ed Harris) soon finds himself on a spectacular odyssey over 25,000 feet below the ocean's surface, where he confronts a mysterious force that has the power to change the world or destroy it.

Now that's how you do it! - 5 out of 5 (3/21/2000)
I sit here bleary eyed and dog-tired from having stayed up all night to watch the "Abyss: Special Edition."
I told my wife that it was necessary and that it was part of my job, but truth be told, I would have done it anyway. Don't anybody tell her!

OK movie, Fantastic Disc - 4 out of 5 (10/17/2002)
The Abyss is probably the weakest of Cameron's movies, excluding of course his involvment in Pirhana 2. The movie doesn't really go anywhere, and the ending is really bad. The director's cut version on the disc improves the ending much more, but still does not elevate it to the standards of masterpieces like Aliens and Terminator films.

One of cinema's most underrated films receives an awesome DVD - 5 out of 5 (3/18/2002)
This is a spectacular display of engineering a dvd to capture the essence of a movie. The visual and sound effects on the menu are both haunting and jaw-dropping - much like the movie itself.

The 50-minute 'making of' documentary is not your average extended promo featurette, but
