With dwindling supplies, the crew must navigate an underwater labyrinth to make it out. But when his exit is cut off in a flash flood, Frank's team–including 17-year-old son Josh (Rhys Wakefield) and financier Carl Hurley (Ioan Gruffudd)–are forced to radically alter plans. Master diver Frank McGuire (Richard Roxburgh) has explored the South Pacific's Esa-ala Caves for months. An underwater cave diving team experiences a life-threatening crisis during an expedition to the unexplored and least accessible cave system in the world. 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. The 3-D action-thriller Sanctum, from executive producer James Cameron, follows a team of underwater cave divers on a treacherous expedition to the largest, most beautiful and least accessible cave system on Earth. Here's the official synopsis via Apple, where you can also see the trailer in HD.
That's probably unfair to the movie, but that's what happens when his name is used as an advertising hook. And the camerawork, while generally effective (and perhaps great-looking if seen projected) serves to make me think of how visually impressive this film might be had Cameron devoted two years to it. There's a lot of potential in Sanctum, but the characters and script as we see them advertised don't look particularly compelling. With dwindling supplies, the crew must navigate an underwater labyrinth to make it out.It isn't all that often I watch a trailer and find myself wishing that James Cameron had directed the film, but here that's definitely the case.
