This is a pretty big deal since it, and True Lies, haven't been available officially since DVD. Well, True Lies got a HD release on DVHS, but no one owned that format. Jim Cameron has been dragging his feet since then getting a new version of the film out there. There's been stories how it was gonna be re-released but Jim was busy with Avatar 2-5.
 
The Abyss is way up there, i have also read the book, which is also great, not long either
Sphere was another movie that came out around the same time that i really enjoyed, similar theme to this movie
ill have to go back and watch these classics, its been a while
 
Abyss never really did it for me compared to Aliens, but tbh I'm curious about trying it on a big screen like this.
 
I've been hankering to rewatch it, so this is pretty good timing. It's been a long time since I first saw it.

Only good thing Orson Scott Card ever wrote, but mostly for the first three chapters.

Leviathan and Deep Star Six, which were both really tacky B-movies, came out in same year. Sea-fi was apparently gonna be the next big thing according to somebody.
 
Cameron's most overrated film. Not his worst because we still have Titanic and the Avatar movies but it was the first sign that he was losing it. On a technical level it's amazing. It introduced the cliché of a character seemingly dying but another character doesn't give up with the resuscitation and they're brought back.

Other than that. It's a very okay film that becomes extremely preachy in the last 15-20 minutes.

You can speculate that with the failure of The Abyss that this sent Cameron to work on Terminator 2. Much to the benefit of everyone of course. Had The Abyss been the box office mega hit everyone was hoping there's a decent chance that Cameron would have disappeared up his own ass even quicker and make more activist movies that are a big ruse to fund his deep sea explorations.

Unless it happened to multiple people, that was Ed Harris.

Story is Cameron was alone(!) at the bottom of the tank shooting b-roll and didn't have enough oxygen to surface because he wasn't watching his gauge(!), called for help on the radio (they all had helmets that allowed them to talk, as seen in the movie) but the radio station was unattended(!), then a safety diver spotted him and shoved a regulator in his mouth to rescue him but the regulator malfunctioned and shot water into his lungs(!) so he punched the guy in the face(!) and swam for the surface, somehow survived, and then in true Cameron fashion fired all the witnesses(!).
