The premise of this James-Cameron-produced film is that a cyclone floods a cave entrance, and a group of explorers face one catastrophe and problem after another as they attempt to find their way out. As you would expect from a James Cameron film it is visually stunning. The point-of-view shots from a helicopter and along the flowing course of a river might be a bit much for some viewers, but the movie does make you feel as if you are there. Of course Cameron didn’t actually direct the movie. Alister Grierson did. Ultimately the movie seems to be about death and how people react to it. In one scene which might bother viewers, a man drowns a badly-wounded character in what he believes is a mercy killing. Also, in one scene a character refers to a cave and says “There’s no God down there.” This film will urge the viewer to think about the topic of pain and unexpected troubles. One also can’t help but think while watching this movie that sometimes something like some extra water can sure cause a lot of problems.
At any rate, the movie has a lot of action but in addition contains a lot of strong language, including the F bomb and biblical profanity. Due to the content level, we cannot award our Dove Seal to this film.
