Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
suripat Watch it! Great cave movie, simply loved it, very accurate.
j889 Sanctum is one of the best film about scuba diving, more to the point, cave diving. Cave diving unlike scuba diving require special skills: the way you move your fins, how you trim, and it requires additional equipment: primary, secondary torches, back up torches, helmet etc...
This film depicts scuba diving and cave diving quite accurately. It shows the thrill and the danger involved, and it shows what's the moral and discipline, courage that's necessary for a good scuba/ cave diver.
I'm a scuba diving enthusiastic myself. My friends lost someone in one of the diving trips. Practice and discipline are crucial for diving activities. There are just so many armatures going to difficult dive sites, and sadly that's exactly how accident happen. That's why when I see amateurs I always try to warn them about the danger involved.Now, about the film,
As a skilled dive you can tell most of the actors, if not all are not skillful divers because they rarely obtain balance in the water, constantly kicking their fins. There is a tiny bit of problem with the beginning of the film: when Frank and Judas pass that restriction, even though they drop their large spare tank, as an experience cave diver, they should have smaller tank attach to their gear, and many cave divers bring spares of everything: mask, regulator, tank etc...With these flaws, this film is still one of the best film about diving.
alain-leccia I remember watching this movie with my mom in our small town theater. It was in 3D, we didn't know much besides that - only that it was about discovery and danger, and that James Cameron produced it. I honestly wasn't expecting something this visceral and scary and wonderful. The 3D was beautiful and really immersive - for 2009, it's truly amazing - and the directing is just perfect. This movie was a huge surprise but something that I do not want to watch again, and here's why: this movie was a cinematic experience and I do not think I will enjoy the movie as much on a 2D television. If you really want to watch this great motion picture, you'll need a great 3D TV and, not being an owner of one, I don't know if there's one capable of the same abilities a theater has. It's a ride. Imagine the space-mountain, but as a movie about claustrophobia and underground discoveries - here you know what Sanctum is. And this is why I think this movie got some bad reviews : because I think many of the people who watched it didn't watch as it should have been seen. It's like experiencing a Ferrari but without driving, you don't get all of the adrenaline and feelings. So here's my advice : if you have an amazing 3D television, buy the 3D Blu-ray and watch this movie. If you don't, wait until you get one to see it because honestly, it's worth it. And don't spoil yourself the movie, keep the surprise 'til the end, don't try to know what the movie really is about!
SnoopyStyle Master diver Frank McGuire (Richard Roxburgh) has bought his son Josh (Rhys Wakefield) along to explore the Espiritu Esa'ala cave system with their wealthy benefactor Carl Hurley (Ioan Gruffudd). It's a dangerous underground expedition that turns disastrous when a tropical storm pours rain down into the cave.The characters are completely forgettable. None of them provide anything compelling. There are a couple of interesting actors here but the rest are mostly unknowns. The action is interesting and looks realistic, but it's mostly all wet. I didn't see this in 3D. Maybe that could have saved this movie.
