Which Version Of 'The Abyss' To Get?
Just wondering which version to get since, to my surprise, I don't have it. There seem to be a few out there, but there are complaints about picture, etc... can anyone help?

None of the releases are anamorphic, I wouldn't buy any of them. If you don't have it yet, just wait for a proper transfer.

I agree with basaro - hoping they get this right on Blu-ray. Same thing goes for True Lies.

It's been confirmed - James Cameron will never release this movie on an anamorphic DVD because he'll get sued by Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio - she had a really really really bad experience with an anamorphic DVD once. I can understand actors with tempers such as Ed Harris or Michael Biehn suing him, but who would have thought it was Mary?

I can't believe an anamorphic DVD hasn't been released. This is one of my favorite films... I already own it but I want an anamorphic transfer really bad. I'd re-buy this movie in an instant.

The Wal-Mart single-disc Abyss with the lenticular cover says that it is anamorphic on the back cover. Is it mislabeled then?

Re: Which Version Of 'The Abyss' To Get?
Long-winded bump............
Any idea about True Lies? Oh and a very long-winded BTW.....btw.....The Original 2 Disc Abyss is worth it for the "Under Pressure - The Making of the Abyss" alone. As far as non-anamorphic DVDs go, this one ain't too bad. |

I have the anamorphic French PAL DVD of True Lies. I'm very happy with it....
