THE BARE BONES REVIEW
This item arrived quickly Via Amazon prime.The picture quality of this Blu-ray is tremendous. While the footage captured by the ROV's is obviously low-end video, everything that was shot with film cameras both above and below the waterline looks absolutely fantastic. On a large screen television and with this level of detail, it is by far the clearest I have ever seen the ship itself, and an unbelievable viewing experience.I cannot comment on the 3D disc, as I do not have a 3D Blu-ray player. I found no issues with the audio. Everything sounded perfectly clear. There are two different versions of the film included on the disc. The first is the theatrical edition which I believe runs around 60 minutes. The second is the extended version which runs slightly over 90 minutes, as I recall. I never noticed any footage included in the extended version that felt unnecessary or uninteresting, and I would definitely say it is the preferable version to watch.The only negative aspect of the film I could personally find was the forced acting in certain instances. As this is supposed to feel like a documentary, and it is indeed filmed like one, to have individuals (who are supposed to be acting like themselves) giving obviously written and rehearsed dialogue and situations, adds a bit of cheesiness and detracts from the authenticity of the experience at times and in ways that it shouldn't.All in all, it's still an immense experience. As a Blu-ray, it's absolutely fantastic. As a Titanic experience, it's immense. The DVD version I was used to simply fails to do justice to the Blu-ray version of this film. As a person who is a Titanic enthusiast, I definitely recommend picking up your copy of this as they are getting more difficult to find, and even more expensive. This is the closest you can get to the real thing without actually being there. If you get the opportunity to see this on Blu-ray and on a large screen, don't hesitate. For me, the experience was worth every penny.

Brilliantly portrayed
This film was masterfully, and respectfully created. What an extraordinary journal to have for the future, and to see and still appreciate the elegantly crafted works on this ship. To pair it with how life may have been lived before the tragedy was a touching tribute. To pay homage to the silent and selfless ones who knew that they would not live was done so meaningfully. Thank you to all who were involved in this beautiful tribute to this incredible ship and to the people who lived and died on that fateful night.

One of the best current works done on a tradegy of years ago.
I first came across this work when it was showing at the IMax theaters in Southern California. It is very interesting to all ages because of the technology and how it was accomplished several hundred feet below the ocean.I wanted a video because I wanted my 8 year old Granddaughter to be able to see what I saw when I attended the movie in 2004.What is left of the Titanic has been eaten away through the years of being at the bottom of the ocean. However, we were able to see some hats and items left on dressers in the various state rooms that had an open door.Ghosts of the AbyssTwo men designed and built what they called "BOTS", small crafts that carry 1 or 2 people lying down with a trailing lifeline. These Bots could then travel through the ship viewing what is left in certain areas.The colors of the ocean down deep are truly beautiful and the detail is explained very carefully by the voices of the two men as they go down into the deep and enter the ship.I recommend this video because of the tremendous information that is shown starting with when the ship left the port in England and traveled to Ireland then across the ocean to where it sunk after hitting the large chunk of ice.

Enjoyable, but didn't really meet my expectations.
I purchased "Ghosts of the Abyss" from Amazon Instant Video shortly after I watched my new, 4K restored Blu-ray version of the 1997 movie "Titanic." As I began viewing "Ghosts of the Abyss," I was hoping to see a documentary about the actual exploration of the "Titanic" shipwreck. That is "kinda-sorta" what I saw, although not in the way I hoped. "Ghosts of the Abyss" seemed to me to be more of a travelogue to the "Titanic" site hosted by movie actor Bill Paxton, who had a starring role in the film. To me, Paxton seemed more interested in showing off his personal experiences as a member of the dive team than in discussing the exploration of the "Titanic.""Ghosts of the Abyss" is nevertheless an enjoyable viewing experience. Just don't expect to glean a lot of scientific information from it. Recommended.
