The movie isn’t about the human characters it’s about the Cave. It just lacks any real originality and depth, not to mention some of the dialogue is atrocious and extremely bland, but it works well enough for me. It’s your traditional disaster film where the crew is killed off in predictable and consistent fashion and the characters are engaging enough to drive the action and film forward. Especially given the low-light cave environment the visuals and sound are pulled off great.įrom a narrative standpoint the story isn’t bad. Crystal clear photography and gorgeous underwater sets assault the eyes. But it becomes obvious that it lacks the perfectionism and engagingness of a true James Cameron film. James Cameron, who gave us Avatar, the biggest selling film of all time only a year ago, doesn’t disappoint with his addition of the underwater filming. However, most people don’t realize that Cameron isn’t directing it, just producing and leaving the directing to rookie Alister Gierson. If you’ve happened to see any poster or trailer for this film in the last 4 months then you’ve probably seen JAMES CAMERON in big letters somewhere on it. Let me state this right off the bat, the visuals are AMAZING. Along the way various members of the crew are killed off one-by-one and the relationship comes to the breaking point near the end.

When a flash storm suddenly floods the only way out they are faced with a decision, wait until the cavern fills with water or take action and search for an alternate way out. Naturally Josh harbors resent towards his father for trying to get him to follow in his footsteps and their relationship is rocky at best. Josh, played by Australian actor Rhys Wakefield, is the son of Frank, a legendary cave explorer, played by Richard Roxburgh, who is your cliché pain-is-for-sissies tough guy.
