The 22 Most Awful Moments in Science Fiction

22. James Cameron reads about the ocean.

James Cameron is an example of Hollywood's rarest and most precious commodity: a blockbuster summer movie director with art and soul. He revolutionized scifi action movies with Terminator and Aliens, but not long after the alien queen was blasted into the vacuum something went terribly wrong.

Cameron's next movie was The Abyss, a well-meaning and sometimes beautiful mess with a horrible ending. The film took place almost entirely underwater and involved lots of diving and driving around in submarines and also Navy SEALs. Fans might not have noticed something was wrong at this point, because Cameron followed it up with his contractually-obligated sequel to Terminator. As we all know, that film was totally awesome.
