AlienX69-1

So I had to put in my two cents. I should have known better. Once they're magically the submersible (@ 16 mins in), using a collapsible light weight aluminum ladder from Home Depot it gets worse. This is a joke, the set design of the sub couldn't go underwater, much less 37,000 ft.. The acting gets really bad once action scenes start. Skipped thru another 10 mins or so .... then deleted.

I'm a sucker for any flicks which are above or under the seas or oceans. This ain't no "The Abyss (1989)", "All Is Lost (2013)", "In the Heart of the Sea (2015)", Into the Blue (2005), The Guardian (I) (2006) or The Perfect Storm (2000) to name a few of my favorites.

Cheers.

The is an EXCELLENT movie, it's in my TOP 10 list !! I can watch it again and again, especially since getting the 2-Disk Extended Release (2003-09-23)on DVD (171 minute version). I saw this movie when it was first released in 1989 at the theater. I read the book first before seeing the movie and was amazed at how well they produced the CGI for the "Pseudopod".

My only disappointment is with the screen format on all the DVD releases. This wonderful movie has yet to be released in Anamorphic WS. All DVD versions have been 2.35 LETTERBOX, very disappointing !!! The Bonus Disk has some GREAT Features, and definitely has one of the nicest Menus I've ever run across.

FYI's: First, to properly view on a 16x9 WS TV your set/projector needs the capability of Zooming. Some set-ups require you to set the resolution to 720p to get the proper Zoom functions, i.e. my 52" Phillips LCD. Secondly, I noticed that the Audio defaults to 2.0 Stereo instead of 5.1 Dolby, so make sure to change if your viewing on a Home Theater set-up !!
