The Abyss

Some time ago I bought a copy of the double disk edition of The Abyss. The movie tells the story of a group of deep sea divers, working for a petrol company, that end up in a mission to find what cause an American nuclear submarine to sink. But things are not quite what they seem and they'll soon realize that something else is happening down there...I really liked the movie, specially because of its claustrophobic feeling since most of it happens underwater. Acting is also quite good and the effects, well, sometimes they look a bit dated but they're good if you think that the movie was made in 1989. The special edition pack comes with two DVDs and a director's cut edition with over 40 minutes of additional footage (for a total of 2h and 43 minutes), kind of like what the extended editions of the Lord of the Rings movies have done recently
It had been ages since I last watched it but I can say that the extended edition added to the movie, specially in the end, when we get to know more about why those "creatures" are going to do what they are going to do... (I'm trying not to give too many spoilers )You could give it a try, it's a good one
