Review of The Abyss (1989) by Francisco G — 23 Jun 2014

I hadn't remember this one very well but I still have it in glorious VHS format. I checked the extended version of it, and let's just say it became quite clear what was added or removed. I didn't remember any of the russian tension going on and that awesome wave scene at the end. The Abyss transformed into a great looking, claustrophobic underwater thriller, with a nice alien mistery to a cautionary tale with decent results, albeit heavy handed (this is James Cameron after all).

Maybe the whole SEALS business is excused but The Abyss is still a very entertaining and well made sci-fi thriller flick.
