Pretty much the best special edition yet released. The material added
to The Abyss transforms the whole movie, filling out the relationships
and adding gravitas to the aliens, who now do much more than pop up at the
end. As well as these improvements, there's a Cold-War-alike backdrop
and a cracking tidal wave denouement; you can't believe this is the same
film. Literally special, this version restores your faith in
Cameron's brand of techno-histrionics.
