Well what do you say, not too bad. It made my son jump a few times. Nice to see some familiar names from the cave community on the credits. Goes to show you that our little cave community is going mainstream!!!!

Awesome movie. Loved the yellow splitfins! ;o) Definitely gotta get me some of those. Glad to see Dive Rite get a product feature shot in as well. Two thumbs up for Wes Skiles and the awesome video shots. (oops, gotta go, just called the dive by accident) Best twenty bucks I have spent in a while.
Not too bad of a movie, excellent underwater footage, decent special effects. Seeing Wes Skiles and Woody Jasper's names on the big screen was worth the price of admission.Quote:

now that im done being sarcastic, i would like to flame the ppl that wrote these reviews. It apears that there biggest problem with the movie was "why these ppl are bothering to explore these caves?"
THAT (as a cave diver) really pisses me off, i guess some ppl just dont understand the thrill of seeing something completely unseen to human eyes and the possibility of ground breaking discovery. hey look, i was sarcastic again!
Even though i despise the horror genre it's a must see for the cave video even though i understand that the "cave" was actually a constructed environment. Isn't movil cave in romania???
Did anyone else happen to notice the device they were using to map the cave was a SkileScan???
That was hilarious. I thought I was seeing things for a minute until my wife confirmed that was indeed what popped up on the screen....Quote:

Good reveiw Brian 8)
Great underwater videography, I too enjoyed catching the familiar cave diving nuances throught the movie. Did anyone else notice that desktop background on the laptop computer was of Diepolder II?

At least I think that's what the image was - only the very edges were showing... Keith
Oooops....I correct myself. It wasn't SkileScan, it was SkileSonics....either way it's only something cavedivers would have noticed. Pretty cool!
My buddy and I really enjoyed the cave diving footage. The rest of the movie was sorta like "Sigourney Weaver Goes Cave Diving."
Wes' did an awesome job with the videography and I found myself trying to detect Jill made up as the doubles as well.
Saw the Skilesonics thing...thought it was a clever joke on Wes' part.
My take on the movie was "Journey to the Center of the Earth"(I know, that's a REALLY old one!) crossed with "Alien", with all the "harrowing" sliding falls from one chamber to another.
Love to get the burn time they had on those Slimeline H10's...and would like to see a rebreather that you can just throw on (and throw around!)and go like that!
Also loved the "One in fourteen" comment at the beginning (one in fourteen cave divers die)....priceless!
Actually, one hundred percent of cave divers will die. Eventually.Quote:

lol, i just got back from the movie. pretty good, but it had some pretty funny stuff in there
1 in 14 cavers die every year (uuuuh, no)
exploding scooter (havent used the Dive-Rite Arrow, but i doubt it explodes taht easy)
dont think a rebreather with 2 20cubic foot tanks can last that long
and
I dont think i've ever seen fire in a cave, lol
Mk 7 is obviously correct...HOWEVER, the best "death wish" cave diving scenario I ever heard was by Dennis Williams (explorer of Lucayan Caverns and many other Bahama cave systems)....it was... "I don't want to die in a cave, I want to die in the arms of a woman yet to be born"...........think about it?
When asked how he wanted to die, Johnny Carson said, "Smoke inhalation, immediately after blowing out 117 candles."

Actually - the Skilesonic was something Wes was not aware of - it was a little surprise for him~in fact, the first viewing of the movie, he told us he didn't even see it!Quote:

Ah well....
Loved the U/W photography, just as expected with Wes behind the camera...
But then, I ramble....I will get the DVD, makes for a great Mystery Science Theater feature on Saturday night after diving.
Dive safe,

I saw the cave film on Saturday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, before heading out of the area and coming back to Florida on Sunday due to the hurricane. The theater was pretty packed and people really enjoyed the film, including me. Wes, Jill and crew did a great job!
(According to the box office info I saw today, The Cave was listed as the number five film in box office income. Not bad at all.)
JUST so long as classic Joel is used, NOT the post-Modern MikeQuote:
