				- great "We all see what we 
				want to see. Coffey looks and he sees Russians. He sees hate and 
				fear. 
				You have to look with better eyes than that." -

				Why watch this? 
				The scene where Lindsey drowns is UNFORGETTABLE! 
				Plot Summary: 
				A civilian ocean drilling team is enlisted to search for a lost 
				nuclear submarine in the deep sea, encountering dangerous 
				situations along the way. As they investigate, they discover the 
				potential for something unexpected and possibly non-terrestrial 
				life. The team must confront a group of gung-ho Navy Seals, 
				while discovering more about the mysterious presence.  Dad's Preview: 
				Most of this film is ten-star potential. It sports an talented 
				director, engaging plot, 
				top-notch action, incredible special effects, and wonderful 
				performance by an all-star cast. For two hours it's Oscar 
				worthy... then the ending occurs - 
				what the hell? I guess nobody had the guts to tell 
				James Cameron that it ruins the film. I would have! My alternate ending: 
				Return the drilling crew to the surface, without any proof of 
				what occurred below - leave it shrouded in mystery... but hey, 
				nobody asked me.
