I have two copies of THE ABYSS in current shipment, one from Amazon and one from Diabolik.
Back when THE ABYSS was released on widescreen laserdisc, a Fox executive actually stated, "The world is not ready for 2:35-1." Fortunately, he was wrong.
When I bought the new DVD around 2002, I was saddened to see that they had simply ported the old laserdisc transfer without additional restoration.
I cringed whenever James Cameron was described as "The High Tech Guru," given the film's absence on Blu-ray.
Now, many years later, after numerous twists and turns and lots of blood, sweat and tears being shed, I finally expect to have the film on a Blu-ray disc. I truly never thought it would happen.
