" THE CAVE IS FLOODING!""Do you think?"
The three aspects of Sanctum 3D that it has in common with executive producer James Cameron are that it is about diving, the 3D is often beautiful and (as with his recent films) the dialogue is frequently painful. What this film demonstrates ably is that there is absolutely nothing surprising or original that can be done with the divers-trapped-in-underground-caves genre, right down to the order in which the thinly-formed characters meet their maker. Aside from the occasional wince-inducing moment, the movie trudges along with the actors screwing up their faces and spitting out their lines in a forlorn effort to create tension and emotion - lead Richard Roxburgh is to be commended for keeping a straight face at certain points. For the most part, Sanctum 3D is slow-moving, rather tedious and disappointingly unengaging.
