It shouldn't be a bad watch, i whispered to my movie partner just before entering GSC Midvalley Cinema. The banner shouts out "From executive producer James Cameron, creator of Titanic and Avatar". I've heard mixed reviews over this movie "Sanctum 3D" which made me even more curious to see what the fuss is about. It’s very disturbing to say the least! I would recommend this film for ages 16 and up.After hearing a couple of friends mentioning about this movie, I decided to catch it for myself today. And one scene where one of the less experienced cavers gets her hair stuck on the ropes and you see the skin pulling from her scalp. I also didn’t have to endure any sex scenes or even immodest clothing but if you are up for the ride Sanctum gives you, just be ready for a lot of creepy, panicky, tense moments. Motherly Advice: I had my filters set on medium and I was spared several “f” words and lots of other colorful expletives. I can’t say the acting was anything that would be worthy of any awards but the storyline and special effects will keep you watching and wanting to know who survives this treacherous journey in the unknown insanity of caves. And when Josh and Frank felt panicked and destined to be trapped in the cave forever, I empathized with them. Is it the sensation that the walls are *eh-hem* caving in on you or the fear of not knowing when you are going to see sunlight again? Both are horrifying and when I was watching >Sanctum I felt like I was down there in those dark tunnels with them! I found myself having troubles breathing when they were trying to fit through impossibly tight spots. I’ve been spelunking (aka: caving) once in my life and it was the most terrifying thing that I’ve ever done. The crew must find a way out and soon, before panic and the raging water gets the best of them. During their journey through the cave labyrinth, the ever-unpredictable Mother Nature sends a huge tropical storm and the only escape route from the cave is flooded. But expectations can be a dangerous thing. When Frank (Richard Roxburgh) and his son Josh (Rhys Wakefield) planned a cave expedition into one of the most dangerous and inaccessible cave systems on earth, they were expecting beautiful clear water spots, National Geographic-worthy stalactites and a whole lot of fun with their fellow spelunketeers.
