Then there is the other kind. My kind. The kind who go to the cinema and watch other people diving, climbing and traversing and watch in amazement at the sheer madness of these intrepid adventures.
But, for those armchair wannabe explorers is Sanctum a good way to pass the time?
Hell Yeah!!
I thought this would be yet another disappointing 3D movie with a dull story line - I mean, trapped in a cave? come on - how is that exciting but how wrong could I be!!
The plot is simple, an expedition to the awesome Esa-Ala caves in the south pacific goes horribly wrong when a tropical storm hits, blocking the only way out - the mission, go through uncharted territory to find an alternative route to safety.
And that's it! All through the film you are guessing who is going to get out?, who dies and how? and don't panic, no spoilers here - its just too gripping to give anything away.
As for the 3D - I was completely blown away, its amazing. The depth of the caverns is truly caught on camera and for me, the best 3D movie yet and probably for a while to come.
Cameron manages to mix jaw dropping action with trouser wetting suspense and you are constantly just expecting something else to happen, which it often does.
For me to watch this just confirms my praise for those intrepid explorers who do this for work and pleasure, you have guts and deserve glory - and I can confirm, there is no way on earth I would put myself in these situation.
Only a few familiar faces in this one but it does not matter an inch - I was hooked and for a James Cameron film to last less than 2hrs - well it get to the action quickly, and does not let up. Before you know it its over and you wonder where the time went.
I cant praise this any further - Its a great, captivating, beautiful movie with awesome acting, special effects and settings.
See this if..................................you're prepared to have your breath taken away.
