So, I’ve never seen James Cameron’s The Abyss, and I wanted to, so I just bought it on DVD and was horrified when I found out it was a non anamorphic transfer which looks very similar to the GOUT. The likeness to the GOUT is understandable, considering that after doing some reading, I found out that it too was sourced from a early 90’s LD master. And as with the GOUT, there appears to be no better quality commercially available (and actually, annoyingly, as with the GOUT, the menus are anamorphic). So does anyone know if there is any kind of preservation or version with better, preferably HD, quality? I think I’ve read somewhere that it was broadcast on HDTV, which seems weird though, considering that the commercially available DVD is sourced from LD and it never came out on BD or HD DVD or D-VHS, so where would they get an HD master for it?
