Notes

Story Synopsis:
In "Ghosts Of The Abyss," James Cameron ("Titanic," "The Abyss") continues with his fascination of the Titanic as he explores the bottom of the Atlantic in hopes of discovering more secrets revolving around the fateful ship. Traveling on the Keldysh, the largest scientific research vessel in the world, he and his friend Bill Paxton are joined by a group of underwater explorers, microbiologists, and historians, all of whom wish to be a part of discovering this “echo in time.” Includes G-rated, 61-minute theatrical and 92-minute, PG-rated extended DVD version viewing options. (Tricia Littrell)

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits a 2-D picture (shown theatrically in Large Format 3-D) that offers excellent quality. Images are sharp and beautifully detailed. In the depths of the ocean, the dark blue waters and floating particles envelop the sunken Titanic, which is gorgeously photographed. There is little to distract, except some shots that appear a bit muddy and there is some minor pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 5.1-channel soundtrack is very impressive and quite wonderful to experience. IMAX presentations on the DVD have a reputation for projecting exceptional immersive sonic landscapes within the home theatre environment, and the audio soundtrack on this DVD is no exception. The audio information in all five channels effectively wraps around the listener throughout the entire presentation. Documentaries aren’t known for their LFE channel prowess, but the low bass information on this DVD equals, if not surpasses, any low end audio information on any documentary to date. Bill Paxton’s narration is natural in its delivery, and his voice comes across crystal clear with very nice presence in the front center channel. All audio channels work in harmony to present an effective Holosonic™ audio experience. The extended edition portion of this DVD continues the audio excellence heard on the original IMAX feature.
