Week 9: Sanctum Film Review






Sanctum film is about a journey of a large number of groups that trying to explore Espiritu Esa’ala Cave, an underwater cave exploration site in Papua New Guinea. This film is based from the true story. The group members are Frank McGuire, Liz, J.D, Judes, Dex, old pros Luko, George and followed by Frank’s 17 years old son (Josh). Frank McGuire is in charge of the group and become the person that responsible towards what happening during the expedition. The other characters in the sanctum are Carl and his girlfriend (Victoria). Carl is the person that support and give money to the team members to do the expedition. The fight and the climax start when a tropical storm forces them to immediately out from the cave before all of them are drowning. The team members must struggle to escape from the unknown escape route to the sea. From the storyline when they want to save their life, the viewers can see who the characters are bad or good, for example the selfish one, the responsible character and so on. In a panic situation to save life, we can see that there are characters are selfish. I think this story give the moral values and the lesson to the viewers about the importance of team work.  


 From my point of view, I really dislike the character of Carl that can be categories as a selfish person. He only thinks how to save his life and his girlfriend’s life (Victoria) without thinking about the other group members. Carl and Victoria are the bad character in this film because they were the person that makes the journey to escape more difficult. Carl also left Frank and Josh, and go by his own way to save his life. It is very cruel. This story wants us to realize that the selfish attitude is not good. For example, Carl can survive, but when he escapes alone, he died because he does not have any experience like Frank. 


 The character that I like the most is Frank because he is very responsible leaders that really care about his team members. He always finds a way to save his members even though he risks his life. From the story, we can know how power is the love between father and son. At last Josh realize that his father really love him so much. Finally yet importantly, the story is a great film and suitable for all ages to see it and viewers must take good examples that have been shown in this movie.
