[QUOTE="WhiteChocolate, post: 215728, member: 4374"] ohhh!!! really??? wow!!! (is about all i can say... :) it's one of the few cameron movies i can appreciate, at least i feel as "fully" as i can one of his, compared to his other works that are so broadly accepted... i dunno why. but i do know that many friends/colleages of mine don't share my admiration for "the abyss," so don't think it's anything about you - seens it's about me! and i dunno why... i don't feel there's anything at all anti-science about it - it's about as "anti-human endeavor" as anything else cameron has put out; "humans are stupid/shortsighted/evil beings" seems like everything he's done! but not "anti-science"... where's-a that come from?? that was one of the movies i managed to see the very first day's showing of, on a whim mostly (cuz i knew a bit before it came out, and knew it was gonna be a "big one" regardless of the long run) - with a gf at the time; we passed by the theater and saw that was opening that day - i insisted we come back and see first showing of it; there was like only one other person in the theater... never had my hand squeezed so tight, as so many times in that movie!!!! ;) great "date" movie then... ;) it was my "das boot," years before i'd ever seen "das boot" for the first time (and that is sooooo excellent in its own right - probabaly wolfgang's only one good movie!!)... but it -is- the movie that "broke me" of my "director's cut" dvd habit, as was so prevalent at the time... the "long version" is not always the "best" version! so if you've only ever seen the long version of "the abyss" (and there -are- some great bits in it, although mostly in the first half) - then try sitting down to the short version, where it's not so "jim gotta hammer and everything looks like a nail" as far as the third act goes... it -does- get a little too over-the-top there. i thankfully have the "short theater version" memorized, so whenever i see the long version, i just automatically "cut scenes" in my head as it goes... :) there really is nothing like watching that opening navy-sub sinking portion in a nice, big, loud theater... not even "das boot." :) not even "titanic," which is the closest (and maybe lastest) cameron will ever get to water... the fact he shot most of that effer in an abandoned nuclear reactor, is just so weird and crazy... it's a one-of-a-kind, easy. gotta give it credit!! :) watch the "making ofs" on youtube if you're not still convinced... so much effort into that film; moreso than most... "hippie, get me bud!" ;) [/QUOTE]
