Ha Ha! Yes, some of the critiques of the movie are over the top. This sort of CaveTex chatter happens whenever blue northers or Gulf hurricanes blow in and no one can actually get out and go caving. Perhaps this weekend... RD

Not a documentary? I thought it was just all about special effects in a story line that hasn't really been done (if there is such a thing..) before. I didn't go for the believability nor to critique bad caving techniques. If you hold the same standards true across all genres, Top Gun sucked, all of the Indy-Jones movies (okay, the last one really did suck..). I go to the movies for the purpose of getting lost in the story line, not holding it to my superior technical standards. Avatar? come on, does anyone outside of James T. Kirk actually fall in love with a green / blue female from another planet? If I wanted 100 percent technically correct, I would have signed up for a caving seminar! Oh, I actually kind of enjoyed the movie as a whole. I was actually hoping for the blind-cave humanoids to wreak some havoc! Respectfully, Roger
