I am not going to say that this is a great movie, but it was much better than I would have thought. The other night I could not sleep so I awoke at 3am to find this movie on cinemax, and I thought what the heck since I could not sleep anyway. There was surprisingly alot of action. I will agree with some of the other posts that the acting was not the best in the world, but for a movie to get you by at 3am it does just fine. The body count in this movie is actually really high. In Theatrical release I would give this movie a 4 out of 10 , but as a late night movie on free tv to help pass the insomnia I would give it an 8 out of 10. My advice to you is not to rent it, but to save the money and catch it on cable.

Ghosts of the Abyss
(2003)
A Very Sea Worthy Experience
16 April 2003
Watching Ghosts of the Abyss on the big screen simply took my breath away. The photography was simply majestic, and will leave you in awe. If you are a hard core Titanic buff, you will recognize a little of the footage from another documentary that Cameron did at the same time as Ghosts. The 3-d effect is pretty interesting, but probably a bit overrated. This would have still been a fantastic documentary on the big screen even without the 3-d effect. It does make it very interesting though. They go into parts of the ship never seen before so it was very good. I left wishing it would have lasted about 2 hours longer. Even 90 years later the ship still has the power to take your breath away. I would rate this a 10 for people that truly love the Titanic, but maybe only a 7 for those do not. I left this movie feeling that James Cameron really has a love for the ship and really believes in what he is doing, and not that he just did it to make a buck like some have suggested. A must see for any fan of the Great ship.
