ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Wuchak RELEASED IN 2005 and directed by Bruce Hunt, "The Cave" details events when a team of cave divers led by brothers Jack (Cole Hauser) and Tyler (Eddie Cibrian) are commissioned to explore a cave network in the Carpathian Mountains. Unfortunately an explosion cuts off their exit and traps them in the vast network. As if finding a way out isn't difficult enough, they also have to deal with strange vicious creatures living there.While "The Cave" isn't anywhere near as good "Alien" (1979) or "Aliens" (1986), it's competent enough (and should be with its whopping $30 million budget) and similar to those films, except taking place in the alien world of a cave network rather than a vessel in space or an alien planet. Speaking of the cave network, there are some awe-inspiring cave locations and sets.Except for the opening and close, the entire movie takes place in the caverns. The creatures are an effective meshing of the Xenomorph XX121 in the Alien franchise and the creeper from the Jeepers Creeper films.I didn't find the characters very engaging, but the story creates some decent suspense around the half hour mark. Although it isn't sustained, things perk up again in a thrilling sequence involving winsome Piper Perabo's character and her clash with a monster while climbing. This gripping episode is the main reason I grade the movie as high as I do. Lena Headey is the only other female in the cast.THE FILM RUNS 97 minutes and was shot in Romania (MediaPro Studios, Bucharest, as well as Zarnesti & Transylvania) and Mexico (Yucatan & Hidden Worlds Cenote Park, Quintana Roo). WRITERS: Michael Steinberg & Tegan West. ADDITIONAL CAST: Other members of the team are played by Morris Chestnut, Rick Ravanello, Daniel Dae Kim, Marcel Iures & Kieran Darcy-Smith.GRADE: B-

hellholehorror I didn't like how shaky and fast the editing was. I thought that it hid too much and made it hard to tell what was going on. The shakiness was distracting. Other than that I guess that it was fine. There was nothing too exciting to look at. The sound fields were creative and really well produced. I loved the use of the rear channels. Absolutely fantastic sound! This was just like Alien (1979) in a cave but without the suspense and awesomeness. I had no care for the characters or what was unfolding. It was made for teenagers and consequentially the horror is non-existent in what should be a horror movie. It was more like an action movie but without all the cool guns and car chases and helicopters and stuff. Rather dull story and unoriginal shenanigans make this a very forgettable piece.

Dharmesh Sanghani If there is a cave underwater how can there be no water in the cave, water will enter the cave from anywhere and fill it with water. There can no workable dry ground level underwater. Am I right? Can the Movie director explain his logic when the cast a seated and discussing comfortably on many occasions.

Jane Doe This is one weird combination of movie factors. The Cave features a stunning cast of high-profile actors like Lena Headey and Cole Hauser, yet manages to drag them through a rather narrow (no pun intended) script of a horror movie.I've read it in other reviews before and, after watching it, I have to agree: The Cave boasts some incredibly detailed and believable sceneries, but doesn't give the audience the time to take it all in. The cave system is huge and very intimidating, but the fast action cuts make it hard to feel the claustrophobia.The one thing that really bothered me is the daylight illumination of some scenes. A couple of flashlights simply cannot do this, as shown very well in The Descent. It wouldn't be so bad if they stayed with it throughout the movie, but one scene that seems like they're standing in daylight is suddenly darkened to an appropriate level the moment the camera perspective changes.It is still a very enjoyable movie, if only to see the later Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones and Johns from Pitch Black fight for their lives in skintight diving suits.
