Thanks for putting this up. Its a shame the Abyss isn't more recognised considering the time and effort that went into making the film.

James Cameron is a genius and I can't wait for Avatar.

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid, if not my favorite. But, I don't really care for the "real" ending. I like the simplicity of the original ending.

I just watched original version The Abyss for the first time, then this.  I'm really disappointed they cut the whole Alien subplot, the whole thing about the aliens just seemed so empty without it I feel. It's like okay what the hell were the aliens there for in the first place? If they were gonna help why didn't they just help from the beginning? And if they were supposedly all pure and angelic why'd they mess with the navy sub in the first place? The fact that they were mad explains a lot.

Me and husband were navy divers and commercial hard-hat divers for many years (retired now). We always loved the film, the Abyss, because of its technical realism and the realism of working divers so excellently portrayed by the cast. This is the first time I've watched the behind-scenes creation of the movie and it is pretty incredible. Thanks micosair for posting.

There will never be another movie like it.

I think it was better with the cuts that were made. If the aliens were allowed to act as judges of humanity it would have totally changed to the tone of the picture. As the plot went in the original, the aliens are more angelic in nature, and thus the choir music is much more appropriate. A touching movie.

Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio was excellent in this, as well as in Robin Hood. Ed Harris also is an excellent leading man.

Lots of help from the villain Michael Behn, and the rest.
