THE ABYSS (Special Edition) 35th Anniversary

After two smash hits in a row with THE TERMINATOR and ALIENS, James Cameron took on THE ABYSS, a characteristically ambitious underwater thriller that became the first commercial disappointment of his career. A few years after the film's theatrical release, Cameron went back to the deep to both further develop characters and properly realize the film's VFX-filled conclusion. The resulting special edition is a visual and aural groundbreaker with its Oscar-winning special effects, Oscar-nominated cinematography, and Oscar-nominated sound that admirably remains grounded due to its marital drama played out powerfully by Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. 35 years after its release, this once-maligned film stands tall in the master filmmaker's filmography.
