It'll be interesting to see what this pulls in compared with the trash Hollywood is throwing at us. This was also just announced, so none of the theaters near me have mentioned what kind of theater it will be shown in. The 4K Remaster has been completed for several months according to James Cameron along with True Lies and Aliens. Hopefully, we'll get all three before Christmas. | ||

Nice, it's the Special Edition version. "I'm yet another resource-consuming kid in an overpopulated planet raised to an alarming extent by Hollywood and Madison Avenue, poised with my cynical and alienated peers to take over the world when you're old and weak!" - Calvin, "Calvin & Hobbes" | |||

Great to see coming. True Lies is one of my all time favorite movies. We drove over that famous 7 mile bridge a few months ago.

Being remastered in 4K is not the same as being shot in 4K. I am sure it is better but not a true 4K picture unless the source was 4K, correct? | |||

He jumped to True Lies and the scene that took place on the 7 Mile Bridge connecting Florida with Key West. Also, here's a cool "Making Of" on that scene I found a couple of weeks ago.
The Abyss was shot on 35mm film which has a theoretical 6K resolution for digital viewing, but unlike film it won't degrade after every use. We haven't hit the other direction like upconverting a 480p DVD to a 4K Blu Ray or taking the 35mm master and converting it to 70mm or IMAX 15/70 film. | |||

I may end up double dipping for Aliens, The Abyss, and True Lies. It all depends on what the prices are. Now that Alien and Aliens will be available on 4K, I wonder if they're going to do a 4K on Alien 3's Special Edition where the movie makes a bit more sense. | |||

Looking forward to these great flicks on a 4K disc. The only disc I have of the Abyss is an old DVD. "But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead."

I'll grab them all bar 'True Lies'. Although I like Arnie, 'True Lies' was a 'one and done' for me. . | |||

The Abyss Special Edition was the 1st DVD I ever bought. Bummed it is only playing on the 6th I would like to see it in the theater but Wednesday nights are packed for us. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

I went ahead and got my tickets preordered. At least at AMC, they're showing it in their Dolby Cinema theaters so you're getting the recliners, full Dolby Atmos audio, and the best picture possible outside of an IMAX film projector. You aren't getting shoved into one of the side theaters with a crappy Fathom Events stream where you can hear movies playing next to you as well. | |||

<furiously preorders Aliens 4K> I'm not a big fan of Avatar, but I'll be all over Aliens, True Lies, and The Abyss. | |||

Is there a link to pre-order these? (I tried the original link in the first post but didn't see one) | |||
|
| I swear I had something for this |
Accoring to TheDigitalBits.com, the only ones up for pre-order are the 2 Avatar films. Nothing yet for the others, but since they're coming out in March, we'll probably get that next year. | |||

If my recollection serves me, I believe the Abyss is one of the first times I saw boobies onscreen as a child. Therefore, it will always have a warm spot in my heart. | |||

Still finding my way |
I was looking for the Aliens 4k when I found the 35th anniversary 4k disc of the original Transformers movie. Decisions were made!  | |||
