Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The human stuff is more than worth the descent.

fresh:
Anyone looking for a discouraging word about this stupendously exciting and emotionally engulfing film should read no further. The Abyss confirms James Cameron as a world-class filmmaker.
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,
12 May 2001
rotten:
This overlong concoction is scuppered by dire dialogue, histrionic performances and maudlin sentimentality.
– Geoff Andrew,
