Foot Pain While Ice Scaking

3D Sanctum

not even deserve so many arrows. After all, is based on a true story, has not granted a basic idea and is developed in a dignified manner. But it bears the name of Cameron (as executive producer: the director is the journeyman Alister Grierson), 3D promises wonders and is so boring. So arrows.

For starters, the plot: a group of brave cave explorers venture into a network of underground caves in New Guinea in search of unexplored passages for the sea. You will be surprised by a hurricane, flooding the tunnels, which will force them to find the way out.

As we have been suggested, the Sanctum 3d would be a perfect movie for Sylvester Stallone, that, so to speak, more unabashedly muscular Daylight and Cliffhanger, but as time passes and we had to fall back on the lead role, Richard Roxburgh on the lesser-known, that remains impressed in the mind, rather than the rocky interpretation, a striking resemblance to Lance Armstrong. A missed opportunity, because there was little for the rest of that act, given the multitude of stereotypes depressing action put together by writers. In series: the son of the hero, adept at climbing, but in perpetual conflict with the father character, a rich financier of the expedition, in spite of struggling with a fight for survival (which of course will show off the worst selfishness), and their girlfriend, cute but - alas - inexperienced divers. In outline, the unarmed members of the crew, all properly expendable, either crashed into the granite, either exhausted from his wounds, or, more simply, drowned.

If all of this, at least, the 3D glasses surrendered by what it says, go home happy. But the only thing you will notice, on balance, it repeated the draft of the insights of Avatar: the forest wild shot from the top (a la carte menu for initial dupe the viewer), aquatic mortified shots from the narrow maneuvering space (the characters are constantly facing steep escape routes), the insistence on pornographic detail in relief, now a real three-dimensional bugs: a leaf here, a tank there, wherever a ledge mineral. Depth of field, the invasiveness of the most illustrious ancestor, there is absolutely nothing.

Another, rather, was the hope, they learned that the plot drew its inspiration from a reality, we have waited until the last that came out from the dark recesses, such as a joke worthy of the carnival, some juicy sea monster, of the good ones to rehabilitate the entire company (Alien strikes back). But no: just mouthpieces, effort, and banal dialogue. On which stands as a unique baroque, the quote of Coleridge's Kubla Khan, the hero declaims to his son from climbing the other, comments: "It was made of opium when he wrote." Thanks Lance, also returns to decompression.

Sidenotes:

  • Excellent portrait of the hero escaped from the script: imagine Lance Armstrong slightly aged gym and driving with an air of reluctant decision a handful of fellow sufferers (ie, soldiers on duty) to the unknown. Cynic, at ease with the tragic choices, appears unfazed in the face of horrible deaths, horrible suffering and more or less explicit disagreements on its operational decisions. Memories, in this sense, the order of the shipment only woman remained alive (the other one, incidentally, died of drowning in a vain attempt to wrest our ration of oxygen is not for it) since you the lower, close the line, so if you jammed between the rocks you just die. It is surprising that, faced with a similar example of humanity, the child is not manages to weave some much-needed dialogue with him.
  • Also notable is the climax of the sequence described above: closing the line, the unfortunate fact is stuck in a bottleneck. I already give up for dead comrades, then, in the next scene, here emerge unharmed from the ravines. None of them know how she did it and, in truth, neither do we.
  • Poor, once again, the treatment of exotic cultures from the American production: just before and just after the break out of the hurricane that gives a kick (ok,) the film, we see the silhouette of a secluded and funeral Aboriginal ashen. The usually quiet warning not to defy nature. And tell us that we had not read well the headlines, we are in New Guinea.

INFORMATION

Sanctum 3d

In a sentence: "but when they get the beasts?"

Sconsigliatissimo: to anyone aspects of the beasts, Stallone and James Cameron. It is convinced that Armstrong, in fact, it is doped.
