awful on every level

Rating: 1/10 (5 November 2005)

I'm surprised that this film seems to be getting good reviews as I can honestly say this is the worst film I've seen at the cinema this year.
The story itself had some potential if it was not for the fact that everyone of the main characters are annoying and I couldn't care less what happened to any of them.
There were only two other people in the showing we went to both being young women who screamed at the cheap "boo" scares of loud noises springing from nowhere - I haven't seen a film with so many of them since I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.
The film leaves no cave cliché untapped from getting trapped in small passages to having to get across large spaces.
If the poster is the same as the UK one then don't be fooled into thinking that any of the women are hot - they aren't - it's populated by miserable thirty-somethings who think going down a big cave is good way of getting over a tragic event.
The lead female seems to be written to generate sympathy but she is just as cold and annoying as the rest of them. I wish we had watched something else - anything else instead.
