When a Hurricane Cuts Off Contact Between the Surface And the Underwater Depths, the Crew Begin To See Evidence of a Strange, Possibly Alien Intelligence At Work. While Chief Bud Brigman (Ed Harris) Bicke Review: Fantastic 4K release and well worth the wait - I've enjoyed this movie ever since it came out. I had a VHS copy, but was holding out for a high-definition release on Blu-Ray. Many years later, when I saw that it was coming on 4K, I knew I had to get it. I wasn't disappointed. The story revolves around a nuclear sub going down near one of the deepest trenches in the ocean. The Navy enlists the use of an experimental deep-sea oil drilling rig and crew to engage in a rescue/salvage operation. To complicate matters, a hurricane on the surface causes damage to the rig, isolation for the crew and the appearance of a mysterious alien presence from within the trench. The movie is a fantastic adventure with great Oscar-Winning effects and a really gripping story. While all accounts describe the filming process as extremely harrowing and difficult, the end product is really something to see. We also have great performances by Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio despite the challenges they had to face while filming the movie. I can watch this movie multiple times and with this new 4K remaster, it's even more enjoyable. There will probably be disagreements on the 4K remaster, but personally, I think they did a fantastic job. I've seen a review or two on-line saying that the DNR and smoothing makes the movie look too artificial. In my opinion, it looks extremely realistic. Everything is sharp and clear, and you feel like you're looking through a window into real events instead of watching a film. To me, that's what High Definition is supposed to be. Some film buffs like "grain" in their movies, but to each their own, I suppose. The package is nice. It contains 3 discs. First disc is the 4K copy with both Theatrical and Special Edition versions of the film. The second disc is Blu-Ray which again has both versions of the film. I'm very happy that you can see both versions of the film in both formats. Frequently on these 4K releases, that is not the case. Third disc is Blu-Ray with special features including new interviews and footage with director James Cameron as well as archived features from an earlier DVD release. I can't recommend this package enough. I know that there is already talk about how Cameron's other recent 4K releases are not as good. This one, however, is very much worth it. You won't be disappointed.
