Man vs nature and vs each other - much more interesting than another monster flick.
And some reviewers complained that there were no monsters in the cave - seriously! That was what was so great about the story - it was extreme but it all could have happened. I've also heard critics complain about too much swearing (seriously, if you've ever spent time around real-life explorers they're generally not too concerned with social niceties, especially in life-or-death situations). Though I didn't quite understand what happened to Victoria - that's one thing the film could have done slightly better. The women are put in freaky situations and react in human ways. The truth is some of the characters you really like, some grow on you and some you almost want to drown with your own bare hands. Unlikeable characters: Um, since when did every character have to be likable? And even if you don't particularly like a character, surely you don't want them to die a horrible death down a cave. I guess if you spend your whole life watching movies (as critics do) then any action movie would be predictable after a while. But what does happen is really bloody exciting. Yes, they're stuck in a cave so there's only so many things that can happen. Bad acting: I thought everyone was pretty great with what they had to do. It also manages to explain the basics of caving and scuba diving (which most of the audience would be unfamiliar with) without seeming too preachy. Bad dialogue: It's not Shakespeare, but it sets up the relationships between characters quickly and serves the action well. I've read lots of reviews, so I'll address a few of the complaints made. Seriously, most critics seem more interested in showing how cynical and cool they are than actually enjoying a great adventure film. I was tense the whole time and came out feeling like I'd been holding my breath for hours. It's fast-paced, action-packed and spectacular. Forget the critics, this is an awesome movie.
