For anyone who hasn't seen it, I recommend sticking to the theatrical release. The director's cut throws in a brewing war subplot that adds absolutely nothing and detracts from the main story.
And if you ever run into Ed Harris, don't ask him about this movie. Cameron basically tried to drown him multiple times during the movie's production and he apparently had a serious problem with that.

Yea. That movie is amazing. From my understanding they filmed most of the underwater stuff inside an abandoned nuclear plant or something? A big budget sci-fi movie would never be made today with so much practical effects.

One of the best plays Matt has ever made.
