I thought the 3D effects were great, they created a dire sense of claustrophobia and suffocation. The scenery was limited to cave formations and dark underwater spaces, so there is limited color stimulation which is saying a great deal about the realism of spelunking. The graphic and gruesome death scenes definitely earn this the R rating. NOT for children in my

This movie is all hype & way too predictable. James Cameron set the bar too high with Avatar's 3D effects and this movie doesn't match up. Some of the worst acting I've seen in a while. But then again, what do you expect from a bunch of C-list actors & actresses. Avatar 2 better be badass to make up for this travesty of a motion picture.

This is a movie that features not one, but two graphic mercy killings. Forget "127 Hours": Sanctum makes sawing off your own arm look like a minor penalty for the crime of spelunking while clueless. Full Review

There's plenty of atmosphere and awe, even if it's in the service of a story that starts rote and finds its sea legs only when half the divers have sunk their bones to Davy Jones. Full Review

What it has instead is really bad acting set against often-stunning cave-wall backdrops and underwater action sequences. Full Review

A documentary on the formation of stalagmites would have been more compelling. Full Review
