Agreed, definitely! People have been waiting for this for a long time now!

Yes from the comments I think I definitely misjudged the level of interest in it.
@supertrexandroidx5 ай бұрын
Like a lot of movies, I think it's popularity has grown since it first released. It wasn't a box office hit when it came out, and I think most of the reviews for it tended to be more negative than positive.
@mwrightinsurance5 ай бұрын
I think the abyss is the only one worth getting and a release that we needed. I mean who doesn’t already own the alien anthology on Blu-ray which is fantastic and I don’t see true lies benefiting from 4K or HDR in anyway like the abyss will coming from DVD.
@StraightToBluray5 ай бұрын
The fact that The Abyss nor True Lies ever even really had a blu-ray, at least in the US is just very odd. At least Aliens does have the blu-ray, hell Im sure I’m going to keep my anniversary edition blu-ray of it even with the 4K.

Nah. I think the order of desirability is ALIENS, THE ABYSS and then TRUE LIES. There's a pretty decent fanbase of people who have been waiting for an anamorphic BluRay of THE ABYSS for a LOOOOOOOONG time.

I received my copy which I preordered on Tuesday and love love love the looks. I don’t understand why so many people don’t like movies with no grains or minimal at best due to lose of detail but not true. It’s looks absolutely amazing and reference quality. It’s one of my best in my library. It still keeps all the details as grain lovers complain that it loses but again not true. These high end 4k HDR TV’s pushes technology with higher FPS and 4k HDR. Don’t understand why people also don’t like higher FPS than 24FPS. This is like 100 years old technology and today we can do 48, 60 and 120FPS on these movies making the movie look absolutely amazing for today standards. Dolby Atmos is referenced quality as well. If you prefer grains than you may not like this much, for me it’s one of my BEST and highly recommend.
@jamesa92785 ай бұрын
I think it is just a personal preference for some people. Some like the more natural look and some like the more digital filmed look. Nobody is right or wrong on it, it’s just what you like. I’m glad you enjoy it!

@Comewithmeifuwant2live5 ай бұрын
In Ireland here and I imported it as well! I think Cameron refused to remove the rat scene. It's kind of important in showing what the fluid does, but your laws don't allow it unfortunately. A bit silly if you ask me. Anyway, The Abyss is arriving in a couple of weeks for me so I can't wait. Didn't bother with Aliens. I think the blu ray is sufficient. And I'm not enough of a fan to buy True Lies in 4K- plus it looks woeful.

@trueCinemaniac5 ай бұрын
Disagree with your take about The Abyss not being highly demanded. Of the 3 new Cameron releases, it's the one I want most because I have Aliens in many high def formats but Abyss and True Lies haven't had home media releases since dvd. And The Abyss is a better movie than True Lies. So for me, The Abyss is the one I want the most, followed by Aliens which is one of my all-time favs. True Lies I will get if it hits the bargain bin.

I also preordered Aliens on Amazon, then a day after release saw it was out of stock and they would notify mewhen I could expect a delivery date for my order - which means to me they sold more preorders than they knew they would have the stock to fill. So canceled the order and bought on the W site and expecting delivery tomorrow. ;)
