This copy has been imported from Europe as the official release date is this week I think. It has Danish, Finnish, Swedish and Dutch subtitles. I got an email saying it was being packed and dispatched on 24th, and it arrived today on the 29th. FedEx shipped it to the UK, where it was handed off to the Royal Mail.

I’ve been following the use of AI to de-grain the picture fairly closely ever since this, along with True Lies and Aliens, dropped on US streaming services last year.

From what I’ve been seeing, The Abyss came off the lightest, with True Lies looking the worst. I’ve seen comparison screenshots and can see the difference, but to be honest, once the film starts, I forget all that and get sucked into the experience.

The only other way to watch the film would to download a pirate rip of an old HD cable broadcast…apparently. 😉
