I haven't seen it yet, will wait for DVD, but a SCUBA-instructor friend saw it last weekend. Although the dialog and acting were lame, he said that the diving aspects were technically spot on.

Trapped in a cave, underwater? No thanks!

Yes it was shot here in Aust-- seen some scenes /trailer /etc- looks very James Cameron
influenced -myself as a MSDT and dived a few Caves --the Cenote black hole for instance in Mexico, I'd probably not enjoy the "Hollywoods" and spend my viewing either picking holes in it or guffawing.

But I could be entertained with an open mind-we'll see

but say no to cave diving.
Been stuck temporarily in tight passages (one of them corkscrew shaped and vertical). In some places if you happened to die then it would be near impossible to remove the body (also blocking the escape rout of anybody behind you). If you become incapacitated then you could die because it requires body strength to get through (you can't be pulled through sometimes). Just thinking about the possibilities of worst case scenarios gives me the creeps .
Getting scared out by a movie is nothing.

- I certainly understand that... however my post was not about claustrophobia... - Victor Khomenko 13:15:32 02/10/11 (5)
  No problem with moving the thread in new direction, but my question had to do more with psychology, bare bone one, as in two people suddenly discovering new things in each other...
  
  In reality, films like My Dinner with Andre are probably closer to my question than some others mentioned here... you have wide open space and people around the participants, but the whole thing happens just between the two of them, the rest of the world is just a backdrop, the two people are totally separated from it.
  - Would Remains of the Day fit the criteria if not - ArdRi 16:54:59 02/10/11 (1)
    for the fact of its familiarity at this point? Hopkins discovering something of himself when Emma shows up. That struggle where they seem to come very close to love but ultimately each chooses the familiar way only to see it was at the cost of the deeper, richer life seems pretty psychologically intimate.
    - I would say there is that element, yes - Victor Khomenko 05:44:53 02/11/11 (0)
      There is that definite separation of main figures from the background.
  - I got a bit off topic - violinist3 13:28:46 02/10/11 (2)
    I see your intentions a little better with that clarification.
    - I did myself - Victor Khomenko 13:34:39 02/10/11 (1)
      I realize my post was not clearly written.
      
      You must relate strongly to films like Touching the Void?
      - It's in my que at Netflix - violinist3 13:43:51 02/10/11 (0)

        I'm fairly inexperienced at movies. Netflix is giving me a chance to catch up on some of them.
