Sanctum (2011)
James Cameron..? I surely hope not
I am throwing out a spoiler here so only read on if you don't mind knowing My rating of 2 consists of 1 for the visual effects and the 2nd for the fact that all but 1 of the 'actors' don't make it to the end!!!
This is just plain awful The dialog has no flow and is unrealistic. The characters are plain, obvious and quite weak.
I've seen more real emotion on my dogs face when he goes to the toilet Whoever was involved in this 'film' should be embarrassed.
I actually do like the premise of the story but the execution of it is severely lacking in this attempt.
What I cannot understand is how somebody with James Cameron's reputation would put his name to such an obviously bad product. I knew within 2 minutes that I was not going to enjoy it at all, but my partner wanted to see it through to the end.
In all my 89 years on this planet, I've seen some really awful attempts at cinema, but this one for all the hype, is highly highly overrated. Prior to my posting, I am utterly amazed that this 'film' has a score here of 5.7/10. I know that everybody is allowed to have their own opinions, as I am stating mine here, but I find it astounding that so many people actually think that this deserves a more than a pass mark...
River of Darkness (2011)
absolutely pathetic!!
before me, there where 5 users who voted this an average of 7.5/10?!? What is the world coming to if anybody actually thought that this movie was watching? Were the crew voting for themselves perhaps? this movie was such a waste of time and in the end I couldn't even make it to the finish before turning it off. Kurt Angle obviously has serious skill as a wrestler but as an actor he is seriously lacking. unfortunately, he was not even the worse thing about this *cough* "film" *cough* the script/dialog is just pitiful. There is one line from an actor where she says that the bad guys eyes were RED, yet when they show close-ups of Kevin Nash's character his eyes are yellow/orange... the story, pathetic. The casting is a joke - i've seen better acting with more personality from a 1st grade school play. Kurt Angle as the lead was stiffer then a plank of wood yet when he is doing his wrestling promos, he comes across with so much passion and personality. Then the 'special effects' / makeup department... oh my god... in todays age this should just not be allowed. Anybody involved in this abysmal attempt at cinema should be embarrassed enough to crawl under a rock and never come out again. I cannot remember attempting to watch any other film which was this bad, especially considering this site shows they had a budget of $3.26 million, where you look at a movie like Paranormal Activity made in 2007 for an estimated $15K that turned out to be a fantastic movie. Please I implore anybody, do not waste time on this garbage
