The Abyss
Tracking an unidentified underwater object, a heavily armed American nuclear submarine literally finds itself in deep water, as caught in the turbulence of this object, it crashes into the wall of "The Abyss."
On the surface, hurricane conditions growing worse, the army turns to an underwater drilling rig just over 20 miles away to search for survivors. Sending down a team of navy seals, the rig under the command of Virgil "Bud" Brigman (Ed Harris) and Lindsey (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), heads to the edge of the abyss. Upon finding the sub, they also encounter the strange underwater objects which leave the crew in awe, but the navy seal team leader, already suffering from pressure sickness and delusional, paranoid of the nuclear arsenal falling into enemy hands.
From start to finish, this is an underwater adventure like no other, an adrenaline rush that pulls you in and doesn't come up for air. One of the finest movies ever made, director James Cameron delivers a masterpiece that easily floats to the top.
The discs are both single sided - dual layered and contains the original widescreen version of the movie. The mastering is excellent, as are the many extras.
On DVD, the special edition is a spectacular two disc collection with an incredible assortment of extras including both the theatrical and special edition versions of the movie, along with an amazing animated menu system, two making-of features, storyboards, screenplay, 3 DVD ROM games and plenty more.
