Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

A mesmerizing journey, made all the more immediate by its reach-out-and- touch-it 3-D. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

It's a unique trip that flirts with hokeyness at the surface but that grows more compelling, awe-inspiring, and tragic the deeper you go. full review

April 11, 2003
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The result is often spellbinding, and to mention some of the sights we see is to praise the film's ambition. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Cameron proves himself modest here, finding an unexpectedly low-key approach to a monumental subject. full review

April 4, 2003
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Despite over-ripe narration and an understandable urge to cram too much in, Ghosts of the Abyss is a thrilling documentary. full review
