"Deadly abyss" (Sanctum) is not emphasized literary works, nor to show inspirational piece of human survival instinct, but not the B-horror film themes, this is only the Ministry of adventurers led by a huge audience base for exploring the cave landscape film. The film gives the impression left by the largest 3D effect is excellent, nothing more.
Literature on the subject there are many caves of the Department to be tapped. Cave is no supply of the claustrophobic space, this space with the outside world, once separated, morality and conscience are challenged. Had been written about the cave to survive novel about a group of people trapped in a cave without food, and finally had to vote the way someone decided to eat them, so to preserve the lives of other people waiting to be rescued. This story involves both democracy and human rights _ the relationship, but also tortured in front of the moral life and death. Unfortunately, "life-threatening abyss" is not this story. The film focuses on a child of the father of behavior recognition process, incidentally feet from the players that have died in the complexity of human nature.
Danny Powell had directed adventure with a theme of "127 hours." Movie hero troubled by the experience, memories and psychological changes, this will be a boring story that was very exciting. "Deadly abyss" also means a lack of cutting-edge performance, the film narrative is straightforward, looks a little thin.
"Deadly abyss" in thriller plot, but the horror of not, and can not lay out well, rendering the atmosphere. Similar themes in the 1970s "rapids four Warriors" handling thriller plot is more in place, on the contrary" deadly abyss, "a kind of director to be led by the nose sets the feeling of the environment, the cave became the biggest hero, man had become a supporting role.
"Deadly abyss," the biggest bright spot is Cameron"s 3D camera technology. Although James Cameron 3D for the same equipment used his "Transformers 3" that a lot of good things, but it is clear that Michael Bay is still very traditional composition, so the 3D effect of the lack of perspective. "Avatar," the camera for the 3D gimmick did a lot of breakthroughs, many of the foreground and background images, and has been associated with an extension, you can create enough contrast between the formation of exaggerated 3D effect. "Deadly abyss," The same is true, some people use the lens of this approach has presence.
As executive producer James Cameron 3D film camera equipment, but also a patent holder, which became the film"s visual effects 3D long board. "Avatar" is no different from Fox to Cameron"s 3D camera equipment investment shooting commercials, Cameron shot the film with the invention of the 3D camera to spare no effort when fishing for cash welfare, but then there is no promotion of the film quality itself. James Cameron is a good director, and sometimes good manuscripts or artist, but it is clear he is not a bit good producer. Almost all marked by his imprint film production can be regarded as almost posing for the Doctrine of the Mean. But do not blame James Cameron, George Lucas with his contemporaries by all kinds of patents, technology licensing has become a fat pig, Cameron also eat into fat. Just another middle-aged, a bit anxious.
This movie, although not James Cameron"s best, is visually exciting and suspenseful. A gripping expedition becomes a race against time and human nature, when a group of explorers navigating an immense cave in Papua New Guinea during a cyclone find themselves trapped in what threatens to become a watery tomb.
The sometimes melodramatic acting and clichéd dialogue tries too hard to construct the nature of each character before the action scenes start to set in, the uncompromising and experienced leader, the rash and cocky business man, the young kid with father issues. There were plenty of chances to let these traits become apparent naturally throughout the script.
The acting gets more bearable as the number of characters starts to dwindle a little. What saves this movie is the sense of scale in the scenery, the beauty of the natural caves, and the realism with which situations become volatile and unmanageable.
Overall, if you want to see a decent, action driven film about of one of the world"s last remaining unexplored landforms, then Sanctum will (probably) not disappoint. It could have done without the 3D, which seemed unnecessary overkill. Not as good as The Abyss, but a similarly excellent visual experience to Avatar, unfortunately it comes with a similar level of acting and, with momentary exceptions, emotional depth.
