The Abyss
The Abyss
Married but separated petroleum engineers, who still have some issues to work out, are drafted to assist a gung-ho Navy SEAL with a top-secret recovery operation: a nuclear sub has been ambushed and sunk, under mysterious circumstances, in some of the deepest waters on Earth.

Man as good as Abyss is it still feels like Cameron's infatuation with syrupy happy endings and its PG-13 rating really kept it from being a masterpiece. It has the potential to be a great horror and the situation also works as this astute personification of the love between the two protagonists in defiance of their mortality and existential crisis. The CG alien effects also haven't aged particularly well though luckily the other effects are top notch.
