The Abyss

The Abyss is one of the best contemporary science-fiction films. I vaguely recall seeing parts of it several years ago, and I've finally watched the entire special edition. I really enjoyed this movie because it's a good mix of dramatic action and science-fiction. There isn't a lot of hard science being thrown around, but I think that's what makes the best sort of science-fiction; a different environment or alternate reality in which the people are living. The differences in reality shape and dictate the appropriate behaviors and beliefs.
