I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

I think the worst part of the film is the poor writing, combined with no character development. When things started going south, I barely cared. It was well done. But, it was quite predictable, had little sense of awe and wonder, and fell shot on so many levels. The whole harsh father, and browbeaten son routine has been done hundreds of times, and usually alot better than it was done here. I really had a sense that I lost two hours of my life with this movie. And there was little in the way of a payoff. If these guys were so experienced, and so well funded, how on earth did they find themselves in that situation with a cyclone on the way? What were they thinking? Why take those kinds of risks? I understand the concept of thrill seeking. But within reason, and within a reasonable safety margin. Right? Dumb. Really dumb. The reinvention of the term dumb and dumber.

I hadn't expected too much from "Sanctum", given the synopsis of the movie. And I had anticipated it to be just another spelunking movie, which it turned out to be. Sure the movie was filmed nicely, but it just turned out to be a mediocre and predictable movie.The story is about a group of people exploring an uncharted subterranean cavern when a massive storm leaves them trapped in an unmapped cavern that is rapidly flooding. With no help from the surface, the people have to find a way out by their own; but with the water rising, batteries running out and air tanks running low it becomes a desperate race against time.The acting was alright and people were doing good jobs with their individual roles and characters. It was Richard Roxburgh who carried the weight of the entire movie.The music was a real strain to the movie and to the overall enjoyment. Why? Well, because it was too forced at trying to be grandiose and epic, and also because it was way too loud compared to the sound and dialogue."Sanctum" wasn't memorable in any way, and it didn't leave any lasting impression.

An underrated film.Ratings and reviews on this film which I find credible are ones written by people who dive themselves and perhaps know something about cave diving too, people who have seen the film in a proper theatre in 3D and understand this is an action and thriller film, fictive but still based on actual crisis scenarios in cave diving. As such it is one of a kind and very well done as such.In the darkness and sound systems of the theatre my company was very immersed into the whole experience of the film. My son and I were also emotionally moved, especially by the ending scenes because we as diving hobbyists know we might have to face situations with similarity. Situations may become complicated because of diving technicalities and sometimes hard choices have to be made as so many incidents have shown, last case being the finnish cave divers deaths in Norway's Plurdalen 2014.While some review writers complain about characters and character development I think it is irrelevant in this case. "One does not go diving to be engaged in discussions of people's relations and emotional life, even though strong emotions have to be taken into account and can arise while diving. The place for that talk is afterwards, either at the bar or at the funeral gathering", as I've heard someone comment.If you are interested in seeing the film then keep in mind that the movie is not meant to be seen on a TV-screen or in a regular space with lighting and sound not being suitable, so it's just regrettable if one hasn't the chance to see it on the big screen.

Just saw another movie "As Above, So Below" (2014) that, although different, I couldn't think and compare it with "Sanctum".Well, this (Sanctum) is a proper movie. Good direction, good enough development of the characters, good acting (although a little melodramatic), still more honest in almost every way. Plus it is based on a true story and the man who experienced it is one of the writers of the movie.Sanctum is beautifully photographed. You also get James Cameron as an executive producer so you can expect to have an appeal in a broader audience.Overall: If you are up for a survival film, this it will not disappoint you.
