Title: One of the best underwater pictures ever made!
Review: This is an excellent effort by Cameron. It is a thinking person's film that includes superior characterizations, a thoughtful script, and outstanding special effects (the wreck of the sub at the beginning is a knockout and the Sea Tentacle forshadows the "bad terminator" in T2)!. The plot pacing is a little slow and the aliens as shown are much too benign to be truly frightening. Mastrantonio is just a little too strident, Ed Harris is his usual virile self and Biehn is excellent as the antagonist. Go only with the laser edition that includes the expanded footage, otherwise the entire movie doesn't make sense at the end!!! The extras on the laser also explain how Cameron made it all come together. This is a movie for the entire family to enjoy together and discuss afterwards. Highly recommended.
