"Sanctum" should be studied in film classes as an example of inadequate film continuity. I only wanted to figure out what was happening, and where, and why. Still, tactical errors are not what concerned me. They are combining dangerous climbing with risky diving, and it’s a good question why an inexperienced girlfriend was allowed to come along. But was it entertaining and worth the price admission? Without question - I actually found it more enjoyable and gripping than anything I have seen in some time.There’s no need to discover this, you understand, but after some loss of life, Frank ( Richard Roxburgh), the leader of the expedition, tells son Josh ( Rhys Wakefield) that only in a cave does he feel fully alive the humdrum surface world is not for him, and "human eyes have never seen this before."Īfter awkward opening scenes of almost startling inanity, we find ourselves deep inside the cave system, and our heroes deep in trouble.
But it sure seemed like something that could happen. I do need to give a disclaimer that I did not research the "true" story and watched purely from the perspective that it is 100% fiction, so I'm not saying this is an accurate depiction of real events. I am guessing that the reviewers just didn't like the characters, but that is no fault of the actors the characters were quite realistic, which I considered a huge plus, while others might have preferred something else. And I didn't think it was predictable (for the most part, anyway).
It isn't just action - it is a true human drama and shows the good and bad that can come from people in a life or death situation. But seriously, for two hours you are taken on a brutal subterranean adventure.
Are the characters "two dimensional"? To me not in any sense (ha ha, yes the movie is 3D, lousy pun intended). This movie entertains from start to finish.
