Audience Reviews

Andrew V This movie is awesome. Are the performances terrible? Yes. Is the writing bad, yes. But is it a great movie, yes!It's just the Descent but underwater cave diving. What more could you ask for?This movie is not trying to be anything more than it is. It seems like it's goal was to show some of the worst nightmare scenarios for cave diving, and it did that to an insane level. If you need a movie to have good writing and performances, then you'll struggle to get through this, but if you can get past that and enjoy this movie for what it is, then its a great time. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Jacob B It's visually pleasing, has a few good scenes and some genuinely harrowing sequences but overall, Sanctum is a forgettable thriller with boring characters, shallow drama, bad acting and uninteresting script. Definitely the weakest film I've I've seen that has "James Cameron" and "water" in the same sentence, though given the fact that he was only an executive producer on this flick, he probably had no meaningful involvement in the final product. Probably due to be being busy trying to convert Titanic into 3D. But you really think Universal wasn't going to take that opportunity to slap the "Titanic" and "Avatar" connection all over the film's marketing? Oh well, whatever gets me my Cameron fix whilst waiting for Avatar 3, which apparently, did not want to compete against another movie with a blue CGI protagonist, I guess...say, that Dark Angel show has been sitting on my DVD shelf for months. Wonder what it was like for Cameron to make a TV show. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Kevin R I'm genuinely confused why this movie was reviewed so poorly. It's a survival movie about the many risks and causes of deaths involved with cave diving, so I don't understand why people were expecting some Christopher Nolan type of plot. I was on the edge of my seat the entire movie and the scenes showing how massive the cave was were visually stunning. The death scenes will haunt my nightmares for years to come. If you like survival movies this is a must see. The only part that made zero sense to me was at the end when one of the friends turns on the group as if they were in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Other than that great movie! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/23 Full Review Isabelle G Made me feel like I held my breathe the entire movie. Great character development for the main leads. It was a roller coaster ride of emotions. James Cameron never disappoints. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Michael M Great Visuals, Nice Suspense, Good Acting. HAMMY SCRIPT and crappy screenwriting. Mixing Good with the Bad. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/01/21 Full Review Audience Member Pathetic. But why...why do they have to smash our balls with father-son crap? Jesus. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
