The Abyss

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 1999 Filmcritic.com

Before he became King of the World, James Cameron blew budgets out of the water, so to speak, with this little gem about aliens living on the bottom of the ocean, and what happens when humans interact with them. (Hint: When we have nukes, it isn't good.) The original ending blows totally, but the Special Edition DVD offers a new and improved ending that threatens to make The Abyss a classic.
