COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Ensemble cast submitted by beeniepie on August 11, 2013, 2:18pm The Abyss is the rare sci-fi film featuring an ensemble cast that delivers a stellar performance worthy of classifying it as a drama rather than a science fiction piece. Great film!

Too scary for an elementary schooler submitted by jmb.mlis on July 23, 2021, 10:00pm I can remember watching this movie as a kid - it was definitely too scary for me then, but it made an impression and I should definitely watch it again now to enjoy it as an adult.

Crap movie but good special effects submitted by mandevil on August 7, 2021, 11:27pm Terrible plot

When you stare into the abyss… submitted by tarascon on May 29, 2023, 3:22pm … it stares back.

Imo this is the best film Cameron has made.
