very much a waste of time movie

Rating: 2/10 (20 December 2006)

I went to see this movie with someone else, and she hated the movie even more than I did. I think I enjoyed the movie more than anyone in the theatre, and I rate it a 2 out of 10. It was clear to me that the writers and director made this movie solely for the Worst Film Festival. It was humorous in all the clichés it used, and the predictability of it. The camera work was worse than pitiful. Very few scenes were in focus, and the need to be out of focus is unclear. The sound crew was obviously asleep, too. These are trifling miseries, though, compared to a goofy plot and goofy characters. They don't hold your interest, and you spend most of your time yawning and wondering when the picture will finally end. Six women spelunk into unknown territory and at first you think its a remake of "Deliverance," with a Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight character apiece. Then Gollum appears. Only, there are a bunch of Gollums, which makes this at least a mildly hilarious film. These Gollums eat people, by the way. Along the way the director uses most clichés-the photo of the doomed crew, the false alarms, the stereotypical characters-how could they forget the biggest cliché, however (the slow motion "No"), makes one wonder whether this was intended to be a dark satire or not. A lot of critics were obviously on the take, or stockholders, because this movie only belongs in a Worst Film Festival. If you watch it, expecting to see what these critics tell you, don't say I didn't warn you. Best to watch it as a comedy, and then only mildly disappointing.
