Is that 2005 gold slipcase dvd edition of THE ABYSS really anamorphic?? Or is it false-advertising and it's only letterboxed non-anamorphic. If it is anamorphic as the DVD cover states, how come no one has reviewed this dvd yet???
It includes a 30-minute longer version as well. Which is the better version. Any opinions?

Not anamorphic.
Longer version == better version (IMO).
If it was anamorphic, dvd forums across the land would have been ablaze with news about it.

It's just a case of a problem that FOX is too stupid too fix. I believe every release has said "Enhanced for widescreen TVs" even though non of them have been. The best fix would be a version that's actually enhanced..... that and give me True Lies please.

What gold slipcover edition is this? I thought there was a single disc (black packaging) and a double disc version (white packaging). I have never heard of a longer cut which I would love to have.

I think the original theatrical cut and the longer (and IMO much better) cut of the film appears on all the releases via seemless branching.
