Am I the only one who like this?


I think it was pretty enjoyable and entertaining. I don't know why people are making such a fuss about "you can't smell methane because it's colourless or odourless" or "you can't talk underwater while having a breathing mouthpiece in your mouth". Guys, it's just a movie which means it's fiction. If you don't like it then don't watch it. Nuff said.

Fair comments. I wouldn't call it collectible, but I've certainly seen worse.

I think its a great movie.the only reason it failed in the box office is because it was released around the same time as the descent

reply

I agree it is a good film, never saw it in the cinema but I did see the Descent

reply

Descent was a better movie. The monsters being mutated humans from just 30 years earlier was lame.

reply

Descent's monsters are also mutated humans

I think The Cave is as good as The Descent

and about smelling methane and water, that guy's senses are being enhanced and altered, we don't really know for sure about his new abilities, maybe he noticed something in the air that made him know for sure it's methane

I liked it but could of been more bloody lol

Certainly not. I also liked this one. Although there are few goofs but then we have to take into account the nice cinematography, thrill and overall story. I first decided to not watch this movie, thanks to most reviews, but then I decided to go for it and my decision proved to be fruitful! I definitely liked this movie and recommend this to all interested in a sci-fi thriller.

No, i liked it too!
Love the endcredits with Nightwish /Nemo/



reply

Me too, I LOVED Nightwish's Nemo playing at the end as well. I thought this was a good movie, a good thriller, but I agree it came out the same time as The Descent and that was a better film.

I liked it too and you shouldn't over-analyze too much when seeing movies like this one, or you will just spoil it for yourself. Of course you could wish for a bit less shaky action scenes but found it entertaining and exciting. Some pretty actresses also spices it up a bit. It was actually better than Descent(but not more horrifying) because it has a lot more to it, than just a cave diving team getting eaten by monsters.

About Nemo used as credit song. I like the song and I like the band but it was the wrong movie to put it in. The song has a beautiful fairy-tale theme and this movie is a survival action/thriller flick. I think I've heard it at the end of another movie too, but I don't remember which one.

Though it's a dangerous concept to put forth, you actually can smell methane. It's such a mild, unoffensive odor, that most people wouldn'r notice it until it's a dangerously high concentration. Hencethe odorant that gas companies put into natural gas.

I like it. Despite the few goofs, its a solid monsterflick to me. My kind of movie.

Versus Descent.. its a tie. Both have their plus-sides.

My daughter and I enjoyed this movie very much.
