Late to the party, but just wanted to share that The Abyss was one of the main films that inspired me work in movies. Now at 37, working in CG lighting, I still obsess over how awesome that movie was. Totally ahead of its time. Thank you all for sharing your stories and pictures. I hope to acquire something prop/replica related stuff. Fingers crossed this thread continues to thrive.
An Instagram post from Hollywood colourist Skip Kimball indicates that a 4K Blu-ray remaster of James Cameron's 1989 film, The Abyss, could be on the way
Until I hold the blu ray in my hands I will not hold my breath. lol! They got to give this a cinema release. I never got the opportunity to see it on the big screen. We will see..
