We may not have been in this situation before, but it certainly is one similar. Sacred rarely poses any thrills beyond predictable Poseidon, such as disaster / adventure film staple, and follows predictable routes through the maze like a bottomless pit, together with compulsory panicked survivors are expected equipment breakdowns, and weather the inevitable complications. It's still an interesting trip through a decent helping of suspenseful moments, but it is unfortunate characters do not maintain the same level of intrigue. Heavy doses of tired of dialogue and a few too many annoying paper-thin personas diminish the tragedy of the harrowing action that results in the second half of the film. With James Cameron's name attached, perhaps the only truly shocking element is the lack of extraterrestrial life.

...is huge and almost inaccessible caves ESA Ala contains the last unexplored regions on Earth - and that's exactly where the cave diver Carl Hurley (Ioan Gruffudd), is going to go. Funding a few months long expedition, Carl hired master caver Frank McGuire (Richard Roxburgh) and his skilled team of researchers at the map of the cave system and find the way to the sea. Bringing his girlfriend Victoria (Alice Parkinson) together for some fun spelunking, Carl joins the Frank and his crew for their latest breakthrough in the new part of the cave. But his adventures in researching quickly turn into a frenzied bid for survival, when an unexpected surge of attacks and a small group of cavers, including Frank was stubborn son Josh (Rhys Wakefield), becomes stranded in the tunnels. As soon caves filled with water, and the only exit is blocked, Frank determines their only chance to save his head deeper into the unexplored region of the labyrinth.
..."What could go wrong diving in caves?" Victoria asks rhetorically, quite nonchalantly. It seems that she has never seen a movie by James Cameron. Although the sacred is undeniably similar to the abyss, not without some incredibly suspenseful scenes, nasty little surprises and beautiful scenery. To further distinguish from other generic thrillers, sacred has a striking attention to realism not often found in such adventures. While there are certainly creative freedom to take (a real event inspired changes drastically), the lingering notions of death, injuries and panic believably presented without interference from science fiction elements or timidity when dealing with gut-wrenching dilemma.
