Review of Sanctum (2011) by The D — 07 May 2013
More underwater shennanigans from executive producer Cameron unfortunately for him it's still doesn't even come close to the majesty that was The Abyss.
Inspired by a true story it details the story of a group of cave divers who become trapped seemingly with no way of escape.
That's bascally it in a nutshell. The only star to come out with any credit is Roxburgh as the head explorer, a stubborn, determined man and a neglectful Father to Josh(Wakefield) constantly dragged along on his Father's expedtions. Wakefield, for his performance, would only win a walk on role in Neighbours. Throw in a few techies along with Gruffudd & his partner the only real question is who will make it out.
I found myself shuffling throughout the film more out of boredom than anything the brief moments of claustrophobia the movie created.
It plods along & predictably Father & son bond as the journey becomes more & more treacherous.
Again this film felt more like an excuse for a 3d release, if that's what your in to then it might be for you otherwise try something else.
