"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea"

Gripping movie - Kept me on edge. Liked the fact that there were no big-name actors. Also, no Hollywoodesque type predictability. Would have loved to see it on the big screen.
Did not like to see people fighting when pitted against a…

One of the best movies I've seen in recent years. A true to life epic that is always long on tension and thankfully short on pretension. Great for the whole family. Highly recommended!

Should say loosely based on true events - if you watch the added feature, the storyline was mainly fabricated. Poor storyline and acting - shots of the caves were the best part.
It's not fair for me to rate this movie...it just wasn't my cup-o=tea...I didn't like the characters ...so I didn't care what happened to them...the cinematographic was really very good though.

If you are an adventurer, or at least an armchair adventurer, you will enjoy this film. Otherwise, the plot is not very credible and the body count is unnecessarily high. You also run into experienced climbers/divers that underestimated…
I literally bursted out laughing at the horrible delivery of the horrible script in this awful awful movie. The cinematography could have been awe-inspiring but managed only to be claustrophobic. Also, James Cameron had very little to do…

Sorry, cave people. This clunker literally put me to sleep. Woke up to more bad acting, and couldn't care less what I missed.

A well made and relatively suspensful caving disaster movie. The acting wasn't on par with what I thought were extremely realistic sets and action. Looked great, but lacked depth (no pun intended). Kept my interest.

Some of the scenes will make you cringe. The story starts abruptly without much introduction of who and what, like the director wanted to get to the action scenes asap.

For the first few minutes, it looks like a documentary film instead of a dramatic adventure movie.
High tension moments seem real. If shown on IMAX size screen or a 3D version, it would be fantastic!

Great special effects and cinema in the first 20 minutes of the show and went flat afterwards. Those folks wearing T-shirts deep inside the cave and submerged in the underground water should have been immobilized of hypothermia and…
