“The Cave” Movie

On Wednesday I saw the movie “The Cave”, which starred: Morris Chestnut, Eddie Cibrian, Cole Hauser, Piper Perabo and Lena Headey.

The movie story involved the following: “Deep in the Carpathian mountains, a team of scientists stumbles upon the entrance to a vast and intricate underground cave system--one that just screams, ''Explore me!'' But this isn't your Aladdin Cave of Wonders garden variety, filled with treasure and a genie in a lamp. Oh, no. This Cave is deep, treacherous and, well, possibly crawling with any number of things that could kill you. No matter. Biologist Kathryn (Lena Headey) believes there might be an entirely new ecosystem waiting to be discovered (what fun!), so she and her team hire experienced cave diver Jack (Cole Hauser) and his team to help them get in there. But what they all don't realize is that these ancient caves actually do contain brand new species of subterranean life, both small and very, very great. And could it be that some of the more deadly creatures have mutated from--gasp!--human life forms? Yeah, they are about to get into some serious trouble.”

I give this movie a “C+”, and it is the worth of an admission ticket, a small popcorn and a small soft drink. The movie had plenty of action, but the movie script needed many improvements.
