I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! Kind of like Titanic but with aliens!! Great movie. Few swears but nothing terrible. Older kids and tween movie. Not very violent...

good movie
not mentioned by common sense there is a scene were a man cuts himsself due to stress

 
I am not a big 'alien' movie fan. They tend to be scary and hey, i'm not a big fan of scary movies either haha but this movie seems to hold some promise and I'm a fan of James Cameron. It's definitely a potential renter!

Parents-- see it first and you decide.
I love this movie! It is so cool and I don't really know why I just love it! I love the scene where bud and that girl are stuck in the little submarine and it's flooding-- the best love scene! It's so sad but epic, too! The only thing is for parents to warn their children when a scary part is coming. There is a scene with a guy cutting himself, which really freaks me out but I love this movie! You should see it! The ending also reminds me of the new Avatar movie also by James Cameron.

Heartpoundingly intense sci-fi thriller may be too much for tween's
James Cameron's often overlooked sci-fi thriller The Abyss was also easily one of the most expensive movies of it's time as well, clocking in at about $70 million in august 1989. Sure, that budget has been hugely surpassed in recent years, but back than, it was considered incredibly expensive, and not worth making, which is a shame, consiering it also didn't do all that well at the box office that summer, with about $54 million coming in. Also, as great and rriveting as it is, it is still a very, very intense movie, as most of James Cameron's movie are, which may actually be a bit to much even for a PG-13 rating, with plenty of physical violence and fistfights during the movies second half. Also, there is brief but graphic nudity, featuring the main heroines bare breasts during a non-sexual, but heart wrenching scene. Finally, there is very frequent profanity, with 1 use of the F-word and many other milder terms. In closing,I would like to say that this movie is a thrill-ride-and a half, but it is more suitable for teens.
