The Abyss

Overview of The Abyss

The Abyss was always conceived as being exactly what it’s.” But, he added, “In a way, what’s bothera few, and I guess it’s my own limitations as a filmmaker, it’s structurally inherent the creatures have to be benevolent.

Why the split?

The Special Edition is aptly named.Like Steven Spielberg’s “Special Edition” re-release of Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, this is less an instance of a filmmaker restoring a film to his original vision than finishing a job he felt was left undone the first time around, especially a finale whose effects could not be completed to his satisfaction.But it’s also something of a restoration as well.Cameron had final cut on The Abyss, but didn’t want to deliver an overlong film.In the 1992 documentary Under Pressure: The Making Of The Abyss, Hurd says, “[a]t the time, any film over two hours and 10 minutes was an enormous gamble.” Operating under the same logic, Cameron takes responsibility for the cuts made before The Abyss saw theaters: “The handwriting was on the wall.We had to cut the picture down.” It was, in short, a commercial decision, albeit one made by the filmmaker, not the studio.Not long after the release of The Abyss, however, Dances With Wolves helped proved that modern audiences could sit still that long, and each subsequent Cameron feature has been longer than The Abyss, with Titanic clocking in at more than three hours long.

History of The Abyss

In 1993, Jurassic Park was released, and by the end of the 20th century the cinema was awash with computer generated images, most of them considerably less convincing than their landmark predecessors.

In 2014 the pay cable channels Cinemax and HBO began broadcasting both versions of the film in 1080p.[53][54] Netflix’s UK service began offering the theatrical version in 1080p in 2017.[55] At an October, 2014 event James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd were asked about a future Blu-ray release for the film.
