This movie had pretty much everything it should.
The photography and scenery were very beautifully done.
The cast was fun and varied, Cole Hauser especially was very intense and captivating and carried the movie well.
There was plenty of suspense, horror, adventure, action, monsters, 3D graphics, the whole range.
But a lot of people whine "Its just like Alien". While there are some similar elements between to two, I didn't think of Alien while watching it, and I've seen this movie a few times. Its hard to make a monster movie that DOESN'T have elements in common with others.
After seeing some truly miserable movies that people give high marks too, I don't follow the low marks this movie got unless most of the self-important reviewers were from the "Shakespeare in the Park" set.
This movie did what it set out to do, and in a fun picturesque way.

Well all I can say about this movie is concluded in the two sentences below: "DON'T STOP BELIEVING IN JACK" "F*CK YOU BRIGGS"Well that tells you the whole story about the so called "THE CAVE" when its clearly more like "ALIEN-LIKE-BS IN THE CAVE"Its a decent movie after-all, will entertain you but don't expect MUCH! Live by the golden rule:--->>"Expectations Leads To Disappointment"

I will start by stating that I don't think you can compared "The Cave" with "Alien", as some reviewers have done. These are two very different movies in both style and genre.That being said, then it should also be said that "The Cave" is a great addition to the genre which also includes "Sanctum" and "The Descent".What works for "The Cave" is the sense of claustrophobia and sense of hopelessness that permeates the entire movie. But it is exactly what the movie needed to make it outstanding and entertaining.The cast was good and did good jobs with their given role and characters. Cole Hauser really carried the movie quite nicely and he outran Eddie Cibrian by miles. It was a shame that Daniel Dae Kim wasn't given a more prominent role, because his talent was not utilized in this movie.While "The Cave" is entertaining, the storyline itself was quite far-fetched. I mean, what would cause those mutates creatures existence? It just didn't make much sense. And while on the topic of those subterranean creatures, then I will say that the creature design was really good."The Cave" was a surprisingly entertaining movie in an otherwise fairly mundane and mediocre genre.

This is one weird combination of movie factors. The Cave features a stunning cast of high-profile actors like Lena Headey and Cole Hauser, yet manages to drag them through a rather narrow (no pun intended) script of a horror movie.I've read it in other reviews before and, after watching it, I have to agree: The Cave boasts some incredibly detailed and believable sceneries, but doesn't give the audience the time to take it all in. The cave system is huge and very intimidating, but the fast action cuts make it hard to feel the claustrophobia.The one thing that really bothered me is the daylight illumination of some scenes. A couple of flashlights simply cannot do this, as shown very well in The Descent. It wouldn't be so bad if they stayed with it throughout the movie, but one scene that seems like they're standing in daylight is suddenly darkened to an appropriate level the moment the camera perspective changes.It is still a very enjoyable movie, if only to see the later Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones and Johns from Pitch Black fight for their lives in skintight diving suits.
