Chris C @chrisc5 6 days ago This movie is better than 2 stars but not quite 3. The setting and some of the shots were very nice. However, not for 1 second did I understand why all those people ended up in that dreadful place, what enticed them to go there. Maybe because mental illness is hard to explain.

If you like cave diving survival stories then you’ll enjoy this. See more Daniel S @RT73094570 Jan 16, 2025 One star because seeing fellow trained professionals who may or may not have lost their lives as just ‘a mistake’ and something to be dismissed without acknowledging the characters made split second decisions based on years of education including rescue as the first of professional diving requirements. This also made it upsetting seeing a child learn this training by the world around him, instead of guidance by not just the dad but even the numerous trained professionals present not making death a talked about thing in any diving scenario, especially cave diving. Second star because all the diving techniques, advanced technical diving decompression a normal thing from start to finish. Well done. The only mistakes I can really see are real world problems like his decision to dive rebreather and not side-mount like most of us do to make getting through gaps a charm, especially with all that chunky facemask with comms and all the other gear loaded on them when people like Mr Cousteau and his buddies were doing butt-naked with regulators from car engines, zero understanding of partial pressure and decompression, down to 60+ metres (a lot of feet). Our late friend Dave Shaw was seen duct-taping his rebreather and self engineering to enable him to break multiple world records in 08’, including the record of 270m - (a butt-load of feet for a human not encased in metal). Therefore, this means that anyone with enough money can get their hands on this highly advanced equipment and have all training necessary within a year or two, without even using it in the ocean in some cases (way harder). Oh well, as the other rescue divers know, always be ready to assist, and make a priority of positive reinforcement as to help get them back down as soon as possible before time sinking the fears in. It breaks hearts seeing beloved members of our tiny community go! 2 stars Cameron. See more Andrew V @RT40182893 Oct 9, 2024 This movie is awesome. Are the performances terrible? Yes. Is the writing bad, yes. But is it a great movie, yes! It's just the Descent but underwater cave diving. What more could you ask for? This movie is not trying to be anything more than it is. It seems like it's goal was to show some of the worst nightmare scenarios for cave diving, and it did that to an insane level. If you need a movie to have good writing and performances, then you'll struggle to get through this, but if you can get past that and enjoy this movie for what it is, then its a great time.
