sanctum's labyrinths



James Cameron did a terrific job with Sanctum. 

Just by looking at the poster, I thought it was some kinda underwater expedition gone wrong not because of natural disasters but of deep sea creatures or something. Luckily I watched the trailer first before we went to buy the tickets.







Synopsis:  The 3D epic underwater adventure Sanctum, from three-time Academy Award®-winning executive producer JAMES CAMERON (Avatar, Titanic), follows a team of underwater cave divers on a treacherous expedition to the largest, most beautiful and least accessible cave system on Earth. When a tropical storm forces them deep into the caverns, they must fight raging water, deadly terrain and creeping panic as they search for an unknown escape route to the sea. Master diver Frank McGuire (Richard Roxburgh) has explored the South Pacific's Esa'ala caves for months. But when his exit is cut off in a flash flood, Frank's key team-including 17-year-old son Josh (Rhys Wakefield) and financier Carl Hurley (Ioan Gruffudd) -is forced to radically alter plans. With dwindling supplies, the crew-including Carl's girlfriend, Victoria (Alice Parkinson), and Crazy George (Dan Wyllie) -must navigate an underwater labyrinth to make it out. Soon, they are confronted with the unavoidable question: Can they survive, or will they be trapped forever?

So basically, the movie is about an expedition in a really huge cave which consists of an underground labyrinth that eventually leads to the ocean. But when the storm came on one fine day, it made matters worse. It shut their only way out. Water came flooding into the cavern and to survive, they have to follow the river which flows into the ocean. And during that entire route to survival, tension built up and lives were taken by the raging water. Would there be any survivors? 




Go watch it, dude. ;P




The 2 hours spent were totally worth it. Like my mum said, it had been exciting from the beginning till the end. Thank God it's not another Avatar movie. ;P 


But really, I seldom rate a movie as good unless it really takes my breath away. And this, it did. Full of suspense and at some point, I just wanted it to end quickly because I wanted them to survive the whole treacherous adventure.


James Cameron is awesome!




So is Sanctum!
