    Definitely interested in this ....Cameron is the only one that "gets" 3D and I always enjoy his films.

    The acting seems to be right on par with some pornos.

    I agree. Stuff like this seems like it would almost be better as just an IMAX documentary about spelunking and just not even bother with a hackneyed plot and wooden acting.

    Also is that Lucy Lawless?

    That's the first thing that came to my mind, the two minutes of acting that they did show was terrible. Though I think the 3D experience will be fantastic, can't say the same for the plot of the movie.

    Looks just like "The Descent" minus the cave monsters.

    Except the The Descent is freakin awesome! This movie looks very ehhhh....

    Can you even call this a movie? Seems more like a documentary.

    I bet the scenery of the cave in 3D will be amazing. Definately going to watch it.

    James Cameron is almost always a mixed bag.

    The Good - The visuals are sensational,

    The Bad - the scripts are usually two dimensional, cliched, sappy, use recycled gimmicks and character types from his other films, and he usually doesn't get the best performances from his actors.

    This looks awful. Let me guess, someone makes it out at the end?

    Are people that stupid? It's obviously James is the producer of this NOT as a director.

    I wouldn't disagree with that except for the performances part.


    Cameron doesn't make films that make you think...but I don't care...he excels at making blockbusters. That's what I pay to see when I watch his films and I'm never disappointed.

    If they nail the atmosphere in this one, I don't think anything else is gonna matter all too much...seems pretty obvious from the trailer that the dialogue/story will be pretty formulaic. But will they nail that claustrophobic tension that made a film like The Descent so damn enjoyable.
