As both versions take up nearly the entire disc, no space was available for the plethora of extra features they wished to include. Put them on a second disc, as A Bug s Life Collector s Edition did. Though the reasons around this are varied and many, it s sufficient to say the idea was considered and ultimately dropped. Unlike Fox s previous over-sharpened titles, The Abyss has a smooth, theatrical appearance to it. The movie starts off with some noticeable aliasing, however it quickly clears up.
Black levels are well calibrated, as is brightness and saturation.
The end result is very commendable without any visible problems. Both feature full-motion scene selection screens. Disc One contains 8 gigabytes of data. The Abyss has been treated to a marvelous 5.1 Dolby Digital mix. Bass is deep and rich in all the right places.
