The Abyss

Following on from Titanic cinematic success (ha ha), James Cameron, the one man film mogul, brought aliens again to the big screen...this time he found them deep in the worlds ocean.

Starring Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as the separated married heroes, playing opposite cameron fav, Michael Biehn (Aliens grunt leader guy), we witness first contact with the UFO's (Unidentified Floating Objects) and the varied human reactions they illicit. Using technology to the maximum, as ever he does, Mr Cameron re-develops and and expounds on the legend of Sci-Fi film making and pushes the audience to lose themselves in an epic of fantastic proportions.

In case you missed it, this is my favourite of the Cameron back catalogue.

Budget:$70,000,000
Gross: $110,000,000

Fun Fact: Cameron wrote the first draft of Rambo-First Blood. Also, the breathing liquid in the film is a real invention...awesome!
