Abyss is one of my favorite films! I had it on super 8 and it was a good feature release. But I have it on 35mm now so I sent the super 8 packing...lol

Well do tell what’s so exciting about it? The rest of us fell asleep after 20 minutes. Ed Harris not really a star more a character actor. Kurt Russell without hair and always wears a short sleeved white shirt with pens most of the time.Comment

This brings up a little question in regards to the Abyss, and Adam could answer it, as he has a 35mm of this. Was this originally a masked 35mm ""letterbox" release, or an anamorphic scope feature. I wonder, as I first experienced it on laserdisc in letterbox, but then I saw some later releases were in a full scope. BTW, some very good use of surround sound in this film!Comment

This is also one of my favorite films, but this film has to be seen with the extended director's cut version, otherwise it doesn't make any sense.
I believe the film was shot on Super 35 in the same way he filmed Titanic. Basically full frame academy with the image going over the soundtrack area, this was then cropped down to 2.39 : 1 ratio.
The 35mm theatrical release prints were in anamorphic scope with the occasional 70mm blowups.
I saw this about two month prior to the general release at a press screening on 70mm, and couldn't wait to show it and see it again.
I will say though if you are watching it at home, it doesn't have the same impact as it did in the cinema, as it needs to be seen on a very large screen. Also you need to be in the right mood to watch it.

I'm sure I read that he preers the Super35 format as it allows for any print for mat to be made. from 35mm flat (for then TV prints) through 35mm ananmorphic and 70mm to IMAX.Comment

Hells Angel Features Super 8
There are actually 2 copies on eBay. One has the original Universal 8 feature box. Imagine the print would be fine but soundtrack would be like listening with a lawnmower in the room.
