      frank's rationality

      I went to the cinema to watch this movie by myself while waiting for my friends.

      Although I knew from the beginning that this was not the comedy I always watched, but after watching it, I felt

      empty and involuntarily recalled those episodes.

          Online reviews always say that Frank is a selfish person, but I don't think so after reading it. When the female partner's oxygen tube broke, he proposed to share the mask. A professional diving expert, he knew how...

      The passing of a life is like nature brushing the dust...

      I can't wait to come back after watching it in the cinema and want to recommend this movie to everyone!
      This film should be regarded as basically invisible, but the pictures inside can give people a strong sense of impact. In front of nature, man is so insignificant and insignificant, the disappearance of a life is like nature strokes the dust. But when it comes to each individual person, when facing death, facing his partner, facing his lover, and even facing his own father leaving him,...

      When faced with death, what will I choose?

      To be honest, I was going for 3D. I was going to experience the feeling of being underwater, but I found that I didn’t have the heart to look at the scene at all. Instead, I was gripped by a nervous mood and something I had to think about.

      The first is the conflict and reconciliation between father and son. The son's rebellion and the father's lack of explanation are probably the reasons for all the generation gaps. The son wants to prove his existence and ability, but he does not...

      Although it is an adventure, it is not gorgeous at all

      God said there should be light, and there was light.
      The screenwriter said that this prop should be useful, so it saved the male protagonist.

      Yes, a dilemma escape movie, the plot is that simple. You have no trouble figuring out what type of people will die and when each prop will work.

      This film, as a "spelunking" movie in the dilemma escape movie, has no genetically mutated man-eating monsters. The plot is indeed a bit simple and unexpected.

      The whole film...

      I don't know what the author is trying to say

      Watching half of it, without commenting on whether it makes sense to take risks in all aspects, is the process of waiting to see the dead.
      1. Risk-taking for the sake of taking risks and sacrifices related to someone The overall value and depth of thinking I give less than 6, (out of 10.)
      2. Struggle for a small cause (I call it a career because it seeks results, There are efforts.
      3. I observe with psychological principles, so the so-called grace of dripping water is just the...

      The road that I hadn't found for months, I found it as soon as I blocked the exit. The rock climbing + diving mode of spelunking is quite novel, but unfortunately I don’t know whether it is due to funding or venue constraints, the scenes are a bit too small, and most of the time is wasted on father-son relationship, artificial difficulties and meaningless arguments, which makes people...

      Half an hour left, Fucking Victoria finally hung up!!!!!!! A climber can be so ignorant of common sense, weird!!! This is definitely the worst adventure film I have ever seen, no brains and no logic!> _< I can't accept things like...

      The 3D effect of this film is really good and very exciting. The plot is a little thin, and the characters are portrayed with no depth at all, but the tense atmosphere is created well, and it is good to go to the theater to see...

      It is here that I feel my worth, and this is who I am. . ....

      The plot is quite satisfactory, the 3D effect is satisfactory, I really have no interest in the adventure category, if there is one more mutant creature, it is estimated that I will be more...

    Movie plot

    Frank McGill, who has extensive diving experience, has been scuba diving near Essaara in The Republic of Guinea on the coast of the South Pacific for several months, along with some cave explorations. However, these trivial expeditions cannot satisfy McGill's ambitions, because there is a huge cave that has not yet been discovered. This cave, respected as the "Mother of Caves", is the largest, deepest, most complex, dangerous, and most...

    Evaluation action

    Many of the lenses in the film are designed for 3D shooting. Close-up characters and scenes are closer to the audience, making the 3D effect more sensible. Moreover, the natural scenery of the film is more realistic. In addition to being shocked by the real 3D effect of "Sanctum", some viewers were also deeply touched by the desperate family, love and friendship shown in the film, and they also left moving tears at the end of the film...

    • Josh: How did you become like this?

      Frank: Look... Josh. I know I haven't been anything of a father to you. Alright? I'm not much good out there full stop, mate. That's just the fact.

    • Josh: [Frank starts giggling uncontrollably] What?

      Frank: You remind me of me.
