OPINION OVERVIEW The following is the original "What's Worth
Watching" write-up for this movie.
Moviegoer Opinions:
We collected 58 moviegoer opinions. Teens, both male and female, really enjoyed "The Cave." Twentysomething males also enjoyed it very much. Unfortunately, these are the only groups that I can really recommend this movie to. For everyone else it will be a bit risky.
About half of the adult males enjoyed it, but their opinions are a bit weak. Unfortunately, the remaining half rated it as an average movie at best, which is not good. Twentysomething female opinions are about 50/50. Half really liked it and half didn't care much for it. Adult female opinions are even lower. For females I would advise a lower price matinee just in case.
Deep in the Romanian forest, a team of scientists stumbles upon the ruins
of a 13th century Abbey. On further inspection, they make a startling
discovery ? the Abbey is built over the entrance to a giant underground
cave system. Local biologists believe the cave could be home to an
undiscovered eco-system, so they hire a group of American cave-explorers to
help them investigate its depths.
JACK (Cole Hauser) and his brother TYLER (Eddie Cibrian) are thrill-seeking
professional cave explorers who run a team of the top divers in the world.
They arrive in Romania with all the latest equipment, including a new type
of scuba tank allowing a diver to remain submerged for up to 24 hours. The
crack unit, which also includes Charlie (Piper Perabo) and Buchanan (Morris
Chestnut), immediately begins their exploration. But what they find deep
inside the caves is not just a new eco-system, but an entirely new species
altogether.
