Trapped, lost, running out of air, running out of time, what would you do? How do you survive?
“Sanctum” answers those questions and more. An underwater cave-diving team are on the cusp of discovering one of the last unexplored cave systems in the world, when disaster strikes.
Trapped by a raging cyclone, the team has no options for a new way out other than descending further into the inner sanctum of the cave. There is no more sinister villain than Mother Nature. The team must navigate themselves free, while battling against chance and circumstance.
Following in the line of “Titanic” and “Avatar,” Executive producer James Cameron presents this action-thriller in 3D. Watching “Sanctum” in 3D optimizes the viewing experience. Not only are you watching as man’s will to survive is tested, you are fighting alongside of him.
“Sanctum” is directed by Alister Grierson, and stars Ioan Gruffudd, Richard Roxburgh, and Rhys Wakefield.
The movie’s co-writer, Andrew Wight, was once cave diving when he became trapped with 14 other people. For two days, they had to search for a way out. These events inspired the film.
“Sanctum” was filmed in Queensland, Australia, and visually it does not disappoint. The deep caverns and dangerous mystery give you an idea of why any sane person would cave dive in such a remote and dangerous location.
Although you spend the first part of the movie waiting for something to happen, you are soon wrapped around the inner battles and surrounding plight of the characters.
The ties between the characters are interesting, but are not fully developed. The acting is a little predictable and the trapped and fighting to survive idea isn’t new. There are some key elements of the movie that seem to be overlooked. However, if you can see past some of the glitches, the movie is worth watching.
