I'll make a prediction: in one or two years, the Blu-Ray 3D Sanctum be universally used in shops and home to show off the properties of three-dimensional television by then will flooding the market (assuming that the technology expect to thrive as their manufacturers). And surely 3D Sanctum sell many televisions, offering truly stunning images that look like he had never seen the process of filming in 3D. If only they made a good enough argument to do justice to the film ... inspired "by true events," 3D Sanctum shows the daring adventures of a team of cavers (second time I use that word this week) that explore the stunning cave That 'ala in New Guinea, finding deep pits, huge galleries and treacherous underground rivers ever visited by man. Of course this is a very dangerous activity and does not take long to get an unexpected tragedy that puts the group in mortal danger by forcing them to take very difficult decisions to save as many members as possible. Although, two miles deep, many will not come out alive.
With James Cameron's name in the credits of the film (as executive producer and king of the world), we can expect in 3D Sanctum the same spirit of exploration and techno-fetishism that guided his documentaries about the wonders ( human, natural and hypothetical) of the underwater world. For better or for worse, I think a documentary about the (fictional ) Esa'ala cave (perhaps based on " Basement of the Swallows") have been more interesting than this tedious interpretation melodramatic, full of hateful characters forced wrongdoing and conflict, designed to extol the "extreme" personalities of the explorers. Rhys Wakefield was particularly galling as the youngest member of the team, with abundant "Daddy issues" to be resolved before it reaches its true potential as an adventurer (and lover "teen") and Ioan Gruffudd certainly wealthy and psychotic as the expedition leader, willing to take any risk to suit their personal whims. We know it is a rebel who plays by his own rules, because a character is in charge kindly pointed out: "He plays by his own rules." Thanks, movie, never would have imagined. By the way, that's the general level of the dialogue and the whole script, just missed the classic "Go, go, go!".
Speaking of playing under their own rules, I found it odd that 3D Sanctum combine with other extraordinary special effects so bad that seem taken directly to DVD movie. Surely the deep pocket of Cameron and their relationships with the studios that made possible the artificial wonders Avatar could have achieved a better integration between real scenes with digital obviously home. Perhaps there is a lesson hidden in this phenomenon: if you have the resources to capture great images in natural settings (or sets built), do not mix with the computer simulated views, as always finish lost in the inevitable comparison. On second thought, there is a lesson hidden, but quite clear. Mr. Director Alister Grierson, please take note for next.
Ultimately I do not care if it is based (sorry, "inspired") on real events or is a fantasy created by the Ministry of Tourism New Guinea (or Australia, where some locations were filmed.) The director and the writers had to make a better effort to capture our attention, instead of shamelessly copied scenes from The Abyss ("The storm became a hurricane! "), The Descent and why not?, to The Cave (no, no monsters cannibals 3D Sanctum, but may well have been a little more entertainment). In spite of all I give a grudging recommendation only thing that works ... the impressive three-dimensional underground image created by the heroic Jules O'Laughlin cinematographer and production designer Nicholas McCallum, who definitely are only stars that shine in this dull film. can only hope that in future someone writes a good story with interesting characters and witty narrative in which to exploit this technology. Of course, with these attributes, we would not need the "gimmick" 3D to sell the film.
