A Caverna

The concept and idea behind the film is such a strong one. Unfortunately the characters & screen play not so much. You'll definitely have the urge to yell at the characters and probably have more questions than answers with the flow of dialogue & scenes. I kept watching because of the concept of the movie but DANG the other aspects don't catch up.

Agree with some of the other reviewers that it's the writing and some of the acting that prevents this sci-fi thriller from being truly spectacular. However, the premise of the film is wildly fascinating and imaginative, I won't get into the details, as it's fun to discover what exactly is going on but once you know, you get totally sucked in until the end. If the writer and directors read these reviews, I'd love to see a sequel!!

I liked the movie. At first I was horrified by the dialogue. The acting is not that good, but I actually enjoyed the storyline.

The basic story is an Archaeologist going out to look for the old van from the 1970s, his parents were Hippies of sorts and disappeared all those years ago. He has some fresh ideas and knows there was a search for a fountain of youth in a cave. It is set and filmed in Texas, west of San Antonio, using the Sonora Caverns as the location for most of the filming.

When he does not return a couple of students of his and a couple of additional young friends set out to find him. That is when the action really starts. The first strange thing is when one of them exits the cave after only a few minutes, and looks up the jeep, the battery is dead and it is covered in old growth vines. That is the hint, somehow in the cave time slows way down. The cave is a "time trap."

All that spawns a number of other issues and builds to pretty interesting and exciting final couple of scenes. All in all a very different kind of movie and also very entertaining.

My wife and I watched it at home on DVD from our public library.

I don't get people giving this a 1 rating, seriously? Sure, the movie could have been done better, some parts could be polished and improved with better acting, but throughout the movie I felt it was entertaining and a good Sci-fi story.
