The Abyss (1989)

Love this movie, This came out when James Cameron was at the height of his genius..he came out with a Trifecta of Blockbusters in a short amount of time, all Sci-fi which for me still makes him the best sci-fi Writer/Director of the 80’s/90’s easily. The Terminator, Aliens and The Abyss..what do they all have in common besides being in almost every top ten sci-fi ever list of any substance? Michael Biehn lol. Guess maybe he signed a contract with Cameron, or Cameron just really liked casting Biehn. Too bad no other director could get Biehn to act..if you have seen anything with him in it without Cameron directing, its terrible..he pretty much made only B movies afterwards and a few short run TV shows. Ed Harris and Liz Mastrantonio were both also excellent in their roles..that mini-sub scene though with the two of them..I mean damn, talk about your worst fears.
Anyways, I highly suggest this movie..it holds up better than most sci-fi that comes out now..for me, an easy 10/10.
