Contrary to current popular belief James Cameron did not just make Avatar! 1989's "The Abyss" Oscar winning saw Ed Harris star in a story taking place 25,000 feet below the ocean's surface. As a civilian diving team are enlisted to conduct a search and rescue operation after a nuclear submarine mysteriously sinks. The film also stars, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Micheal Biehn.
This film totes a now exhausted and repetitive message of James Cameron's films, that nature cannot and should not be over powered and we are ultimately helpless to stand in its path. Also as quoted on www.amazon.co.uk that this "deep-sea close-encounter epic reaffirms one of the oldest first principles of cinema: everything moves a lot more slowly underwater".
None of this takes away the fact that this is an ace film and a great watch, Enjoy!
