Whadda you expect? It's from James Cameron, most recently of Avitar fame. Let's face it guys, it's not a film for cavers, it's a film for thrill seekers who want to confirm in their own minds that you have to be crazy to be a caver. AND, IT'S IN 3D!!! Well, you don't have to be crazy, but it helps. Louise

Oh, who are we kidding? We will _all_ see it, like The Descent and The Cave, and then when it's out on DVD someone will have friends over (hey, a drinking game when every time there's something completely out of normal caving happens on screen can get pretty interesting) or it'll be shown at a grotto social. I'm looking forward to it! - Fofo On Jan 22, 2011 17:24, Tim Stich <timstic...@gmail.com> wrote: Here's the trailer. I have a bad feeling about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaZHjv3ASfw It seems to have all of the earmarks of an exploitation style hack job. Stupid, needless bickering within the expedition group. Backwards, Aussie-style rappelling. All that seems to be missing is the nitro. So who's going to go see it? I'll wait for your reviews. -Tim
