Watched The Abyss (1989) for the first time. Is this a well regarded film?

Date: May 31st, 2025 10:51 AM Author: bateful autistic institution I thought the first half was really good, where it's a straightforward movie about a diving mission, then it goes off the rails with the alien shit. I watched the directors cut I guess and it was nearly 3 hours long and had some gay heavy-handed "war bad" ending that the theatrical release doesn't
But it is a beautiful looking movie. It would have been a 180 twist if the aliens were evil and the navy seal dude was right to nuke them |

leviathan > deep star six > the abyss, as far as 1989 sci-fi horror films go.
