In einem US Forum hat jemand schon seine ersten Seheindrücke festgehalten(enthällt aber Spoiler):
"The Abyss theatrical cut is airing in new form on Cinemax. I have some good news to report, this is the new 2.35:1 remastered version, looks AMAZING..crystal clear, sharp! From the noticeable "new" red on Lindsey's hair, to the shine on Bud's hands when he has the grease on his fingers retrieving his wedding ring..the detail is astonishing. The colors are more divided, and vibrant now.. the greens on the fluroscenet light sticks, and the purples.. There's much more noticeable fine detail as well..[BEGIN SPOILERS] The beads of sweat on Coffey when he starts losing it..the scene where Lindsey almost dies, there's much more to them..and the camera is looking down on her, from above, and they almost give up..so much color that wasn't there before..the red on her shirt and the gear, yellow shirt on Catfish, blue of the water..and her face is more pale now, much whiter, gives a more dramatic effect..the 2 mile trench Bud goes down to meet the aliens..much more violet/purple at the bottom.. it comes across as more blue on the VHS/DVD. [END SPOILERS]. I have to say, unless something was wrong with my receiver, this was broadcast in stereo, not 5.1. Also, it seemed the source was probably 2.35:1, but it was either cropped/zoomed to something close to 1.85:1. Overall its a brighter transfer, also retaining fine shadow detail. This looks like it could've been shot yesterday. I'm happy to report they didn't de-grain it either, and there's such depth to it. Very, very HD, in the full sense of the word. An interesting note..I was at an audience test screening for this in 1988 before it hit theaters, and I remember it quite well. That version was like a longer version of the director's cut. This looks as good as it did then, and probably alot better. Is this a reference transfer? Probably not, but it's the absolute best I've ever seen this movie. A great transfer. It's like watching it new again, for the first time. "
http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread....195775&page=52Die Blu-ray soll nun auch wieder einen starke Veränderung der Farbe haben.
Ob Cameron nun extra die Farben für das Release modernisiert hat um sie näher seiner persöhnlichen (2014)Version des Filmes zu bringen oder dies den Film endlich so zeigt wie er immer aussah weiß ich nicht. Sieht mir etwas nach Aliens aus.
