Sanctum

Sanctum is a movie directed by James Cameron. The movie is about a group of people led by a cave explorer specialist / master diver. However, they got trapped. And the whole story would revolve around finding a way out and in the process every person’s life is revealed, disputes happen and people die.

The movie starts off introducing each character and straight to the cave exploration bit. Character development wise was average. The stars of the movie was the one bringing the movie to stand out but apart from that, take them out and the movie may fail. The great thing about the movie are the effects from James Cameron, as we may remember from Titanic. As the movie moves on, it couldn't be worse than having flash floods in the cave. The cave begins to flood, the storm worsen, and chances of escaping the cave became difficult. For the ending, it was, like, what? that’s the ending? Only one person escaped; the son. He found an opening, reached the beach and people nearby is seen coming to his rescue.

If you’re into body parts being chopped off, bones poking out of the body, people falling off from high places while seeing their body hit against rocks and sound of bones cracking, then you can enjoy the movie. For me, it was kind of gory. Why? Because the movie really shows you what happen in any accidents that happened. Eww…Every new place they find in the caves will only end up with someone dying. I guess perhaps that’s why they call it ‘Sanctum’, which means sacred place.

As the movie is in 3D, that really brings the effects to life. You’ll be watching it feeling chills down your spine when something sudden happen or even feel breathless when they dive under water. 3D movies are getting popular with new movies coming up.
