That’s fascinating. Disney+ version of The Abyss has the fluorocarbon breathing rat but is the theatrical version whereas ITVx is the cut version of the Special Edition (but has ads) with the rat off camera. The definition is definitely higher on ITVx as well, something going on there. Anyway I watched the Disney+ version and it was fine. In the UK we haven’t been able to watch it for ages due to the rat scene, but now we can, either with rat or without. But if you want the rat it costs you 20 minutes ;-)

Since I've been laid up in bed with a bad back, I've been watching some movies I've been meaning to watch but haven't gotten around to :corgi_fetch: So tonight I watched the special edition for The Abyss and Dark City.

One thing's for sure, The Abyss special edition is waaayyyy better than the theatrical cut. The theatrical cut feels kind of aimless and pointless without the Cold War sub plot. If you haven't seen The Abyss, I promise you, the extra half hour of footage is worth sitting through. :pupper_wag:

As for Dark City, it was really really good. :ablobfoxbongo: If you like thinky science fiction or dark noir mysteries, you'll like Dark City a lot. It's a lot like the Matrix if the Matrix was more campy, thoughtful, and, I dunno, more reigned in? I love the Matrix and I loved Dark City. :blobfoxfloofhappy: The late 90s were such a gold mine for sci-fi. Much like The Abyss, I recommend the director's cut!!! The director's cut doesn't feature much more runtime, but it does cut out a studio-mandated voice over (a la Blade Runner) that basically spoils the entire plot right in the opening. It's dumb. :blobfoxsweating:

The Abyss was good fun. A little too high-paced for my taste but still enjoyed it. The last 20 minutes made me a bit cringe though 🤭 Looks like that is only in the extended version.

Not sure if watching this just before my summer holiday was the right thing, it’ll give me terrible water anxiety.

Fun trivia: rumour has it, James Cameron made this movie as a way of dealing with his own divorce. White men will do anything but go to therapy.
