The Abyss: Special Edition (4K Restoration)
James Cameron fans can rejoice at finally being able to experience the blockbuster auteur’s thrilling 1989 underwater sci-fi adventure THE ABYSS for the first time in stunning, remastered 4K. In this nuclear sub mysteriously sinks and a private oil rig crew, led by foreman Bud Brigman (Ed Harris), is recruited to join a team of Navy SEALs on a search and rescue effort. The group soon finds themselves on a spectacular life-and-death odyssey 25,000 feet below the ocean’s surface, where they find a mysterious force that could either change the world — or destroy it. With Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Michael Biehn.
Upon its release, the film was hailed for its technical merit marrying strong visual effects and incredible underwater photography. Considering that the film is as much a romantic love story as it is a nail-biting action thriller, one could consider it something of a precursor to that other water-themed movie he would later triumph with in 1999. (TITANIC. We know you knew that.)
“Colossally ambitious, this logistically boggling and technically brilliant film from writer-director James Cameron is a visual tour de force, featuring overall, the greatest underwater sequences ever seen on film.” (The Hollywood Reporter)
“Anyone looking for a discouraging word about this stupendously exciting and emotionally engulfing film should read no further. The Abyss confirms James Cameron as a world-class filmmaker.” (Rolling Stone Magazine)
“The utterly gorgeous special effects frequently overshadow the fact that ‘The Abyss’ is also a totally gripping, claustrophobic thriller, complete with an interesting crew of characters.” (Rotten Tomatoes)
