There's a good story buried within it but it would have been better had any of the leading characters not been made of cardboard.

In 1988, Andrew Wight led an expedition to explore a huge and remote cave system beneath the Nullarbor Plain in Australia and got trapped with 14 others when a freak storm caused the cave entrance to collapse. This harrowing experience, crafted into a story about a young man at odds with his father but reconciled by the test of survival, simply becomes a watery onslaught of special effects in 3D.

These are genuinely beautiful, and often frightening, to look at. But the acting is by numbers, the extra dimension doesn't add anything very much and it's all far duller than it needed to be, considering the fact that it is based on hair-raising truth.
