zabadak 23rd Dec 2015		He wrote Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as a bitchy feminist a*ole. Did he also write the bit where she got her "ballast tanks" out? :shocked:

George Slv 22nd Dec 2015		Rated 9/10 The final reward for watching flop underwater pix in previous years, this Cameron film delivers. Cameron developed a reputation for stuffing two movies into one. Studios gave him enuf money, and I guess he didn't know when to stop writing. The first story here is the peril of a submerged submarine crew, a hurricane above water, and rescue attempts. The second is the discovery of underwater aliens in the area. Maybe the Bermuda Triangle? I was a little dissatisfied that the first story took up so much attention, when you got this potential with the aliens, which seems secondary. Photography and special effects are superb. James Cameron writes his own screenplays. He seems to have establishment liberal tendencies. For his characters' situations here he wrote in a bunch of scorn for "conspiracy theories" or "paranoia". When someone calls others "paranoid" I immediately write them off as a fool. He wrote Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as a bitchy feminist a***ole. Those were the times. Cameron was told by a female TV interviewer later that it annoyed everyone, male and female. (Are females annoyed by that? I thought they gloated.) He pointed out as we know now that most scripts are written by males, and it's hard for them to see the female approach. (which I guess would be to throw down their arms and offer themselves to the enemy. or, there are no enemies. Vote for Hillary to be sure.) So anywayzes, this was a milestone theatrical event. The theatrical release had to be cut in length to 2:25, and Cameron made the decisions on cutting. Then the full length of 2:51 was released on video as the Special Edition. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
