If you can see this in 3D, it's worth it. Not always visually impressive,
it's still fun to watch cave explorers in a claustrophobic 3D environment.
That's probably the only element worth seeing, to be honest. This survival film
"inspired by actual events" with "inspired" being the keyword starts
off well with decent, watchable characters but things unravel quickly when they
get trapped, especially with Ioan Gruffudd's almost villainous character taking
a turn for the worst. The acting is average, the tension is average, and the
direction is average, so yeah it's a pretty average film. Grade: B-
Spoiler: It's hard to recommend a film when everyone dies except for the
hero and his survival is pretty much guaranteed by the opening shot. What's
even more puzzling is that there were thirteen survivors of the event that
inspired the film. I guess we're supposed to be moved by the father and son's
relationship. All I could think about was how stupid it was that Mr. Gruffudd
goes berserk.
