Perhaps not, we have been in this exact situation before, but certainly a similar. Sanctum seldom presents any voltage outside the predictable Poseidon-similar disaster/adventure movie staple and follows a foreseeable route through its maze-like the abyss complete with obligatory panicked survivors, expected equipment malfunctions and unavoidable weather complications. It is still an interesting travel thanks to a decent helping of took place moments, but it is unfortunate that the characters do not retain the same level of intrigue. Heavy doses of tired dialogue and a few too many annoying, paper-thin personas detract from tragedy and appalling action percolating in the latter half of the film. Perhaps with James Cameron's name attached, is the element only truly shocking lack of space life.
The enormous and almost inaccessible caves Esa ALA contains the last unexplored regions on Earth – and this is exactly where the cave diver Carl Hurley (Ioan Gruffudd) intends to go. Financing a several-month long expedition, hires Carl master caver Frank McGuire (Richard Roxburgh) and his qualified team explorers to map the cave system and find a route to the sea. To bring his girlfriend connects Victoria (Alice Parkinson) along for a little spelunking fun, Carl Frank and his crew for their latest breakthrough to a new section in the cave. But their adventures in exploration turn quickly into a frenzied bid for survival, when an unexpected flash flooding strikes and small band of cavers, including Frank's headstrong son Josh (Rhys Wakefield), becomes stranded in the tunnels. As caves quickly fill with water, and the only Exit is blocked, determines Frank their only chance of salvation is head deeper into the maze uninhabited regions.
"What could possibly go wrong diving in caves?" Victoria asks the rhetorical, completely carefree. She seems to have never seen a James Cameron movie. Although the Sanctum is undeniably similar to The Abyss, it is not without more incredible going on scenes, some unpleasant surprises and breathtaking scenery. If you want to further distinguish it from other generic thrillers, possesses Sanctum a striking attention to realism not often found in such adventures. While there is certainly creative liberties taken (true event inspiration changed drastically), death, damage and panic hanging concepts presented believably without the interference of science-fiction elements or restraint when dealing with gut-wrenching dilemmas.
Just as a much more intense and complex version of 127 hours (involving. likeminded risk takers aware dangers and therefore more difficult to sympathise with), Sanctum focuses on more fear: Claustrophobia, suffocation, dark, Hypothermia, starvation, decompression sickness, inexperience, pain, heights and a few less conventional, surprisingly graphic frights. Differences in opinions will be transformed to the creeping terror and finally thrilling panic, each identified with the grittiness and high voltages. Although the typical nature and construction of the team of cavers-along with their poorly delivered introductory dialogue-spells disaster for character development and acting categories when the crew's error startup, don't let standard snowball effect of the disaster film. Initial pace of understanding is like many thrillers, enough to keep audiences on the edge of their seats to run despite leaving a really satisfactory conclusion substantially elusive.
