For those of you that are technical geeks I should sport you with a bit of trivia here, if you have ever used the program "PhotoShop" you have the movie The Abyss to thank for it. This film is one of the most technologically advancing films made in the last 20 years. The film is still as visually stunning today as it was in 89. What most people don't know about the development of this film is that it was what gave Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), the special effects company owned by George Lucas, a big chance to pick up on a project that is not one of Lucas's own projects.
One of the most amazing things about this film is the psuedopod (the water creature that can mimic others), it was completely developed and animated frame by frame using what is now Photoshop 1.0
I would easily rank this film as being one of the best Sci-Fi films ever made.
