However, as is the case with all of Cameron’s movies, the production values are impeccable. Some of the dialogue is cheesy, clichéd and melodramatic and doesn’t convince, the story does have its predictable and dull spots not helped by the fact it takes a while to get going and the pace does slacken particularly in the middle.

As far as James Cameron’s (producing rather than directing) movies go, Terminator 2 and Aliens are better, but Sanctum is a long way off Cameron’s worst movie, not like Piranha 2: The Spawning.

Sanctum is far from a masterpiece or even an amazing movie, but it is not even close to an abomination either. But it’s pretty, has a couple of cool death scenes (the “hair” moment is horrible) and it’s much, much shorter than The Abyss. Yes, the cave is surprisingly well-lit and yes, saying “what could possibly go wrong” before abseiling into the bowels of the earth is utterly stupid. From the ethereal splendour of a vast underwater cave to the pockets of air bubbling like mercury on the rocky ceiling, it’s a feast for the eyes even when it leaves the brain starving. That said, there’s some eerily beautiful moments of utter horror to be found. So when Grrr, Aaargh (Frank MacGuire), Whinging Son (Rhys Wakefield), Millionaire Jerk (Ioan Gruffudd), Comic Relief (Dan Wylie), Woman (Alice Parkinson) and Expendable Foreigner (Cramer Cain) find themselves trapped underground, you’ll be more interested in how they’re going to die than in the clunky dialogue. In fact, it’s not that surprising that as his sticky fingers are all over the post-production and cinematography, this feels like a James Cameron flick where the script never got past the first draft. And you’ll probably be able to figure out what order they’ll run out of oxygen in as well.

Playing out like The Descent with more water and no monsters, it’s a beautifully shot survival flick but it’s populated with characters so bland that you won’t care one bit if they survive or not.
