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.
