WHERE TO WATCH

  • Was James Cameron going through a divorce during the making of this movie? It feels like it. It's not my favorite of his, but it is up there. Incredibly impressive what he was able to pull off with this movie. Beautifully shot and really intense when it needs to be. Great performances all around.
