While many decry the use of 3D in today’s movies, occasionally the technique can be one of a film’s few saving graces. Certainly, this is true in the case of Sanctum, produced by James Cameron (as you’ve no doubt been reminded of ad nauseum in every promo). Without its beautiful cave locations and impressively photographed extra dimension, the movie’s cornball, B-movie story mechanics would be laughed off of the screen.
Set in the remote New Guinea rainforest, the story follows a group of divers out to chart a labyrinth-like cave system deep within the earth. Stock characters include a famous but hard-headed diving expert Frank (Richard Roxburgh) and his estranged teenage son, Josh (Rhys Wakefield). Joining them on the adventure is Arctic mountaineer Victoria (Alice Parkinson) and Luko (Cramer Cain). Luko is a local New Guinean assistant, which is code in these types of films for...

Title: Sanctum Directed By: Alister Grierson Starring: Richard Roxburgh, Ioan Gruffudd, Rhys Wakefield, Alice Parkinson, Dan Wyllie, Christopher Baker, Nicole Downs, Allison Cratchley, Cramer Cain Sanctum may want to be an adventure drama, but you’ve actually got to have a viable blend of action and emotion to validate that categorization. Director Alister Grierson certainly tries to achieve that denomination, but sadly, succeeds in just one respect and fails big time in the other. Which one’s the winner? Here’s a hint; if Sanctum were a silent film, it’d be quite good. Deep inside the Esa’ala Caves in the South Pacific is a channel of tunnels that have yet to be explored. Seasoned diver, [...]...

Four new clips have been released for the soon to be released film Sanctum, a film directed by Alister Grierson – not James Cameron, to be clear, despite the advertising material’s close association. The film stars Richard Roxburgh, Ioan Gruffudd, Rhys Wakefield, Alice Parkinson, Dan Wyllie, Christopher Baker, Nicole Downs, Allison Cratchley, Cramer Cain, Andrew Hansen and John Garvin. It will be released on February 4, 2011.
Here is the official plot synopsis:
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. 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. Master diver Frank McGuire (Richard Roxburgh) has explored the South Pacific’s Esa-ala Caves for months.
