A new 3D cave-diving adventure drama film, Produced by James Cameron and directed by Alister Grierson an Australian film director and script writer. Sanctum script was inspired by the near death experience of one of the writers, Andrew Wright who when leading a diving expedition miles into a system of underwater cave, and while trying to find a way out after a crazy storm collapsed the entrance.
In Sanctum, five people got trapped in an underwater cave exploration in Papua New Guinea when a cyclone started flooding the cave. The water rapidly went high in the cave and air was running out, their only hope of survival was to travel through the unexplored wide underwater cave following the course of river that leads into the ocean, but how many people will survive such risk? The main explorers’ life revolved around caves with passion. He brought in his seventeen year old son into the situation and was worried about his life. During this tragic incident, father found son and son found the father he never knew. “The action doesn’t quite conjure up the claustrophobic intensity you expect, but the father-son-storyline is sufficiently muscular”a comment from rotten tomatoes.
Sanctum was shot in Warner Road show Studios and the Queensland Gold Coast, it employed a 3D photography technique James Cameron developed to film Avatar. This breath taken and unbelievable under water sequence took place in a large water tank at the Village Road show Studios in Queensland, just like Titanic in a water tank. The real caves were also filmed in South Australias cave-diving region around Mount Gambier. Sanctum was out on the 4th of February 2011. Sanctum didn’t win much viewers heart but a great film to see because it set your mind in the thinking mood and leave your breath taken as you keep expecting the worst. Sanctum is an example for cave divers and rock climbers. It could help widen their imagination and experience.
James Cameron is the writer and producer of Titanic (1997) and The Abyss (1989) the worlds’ greatest underwater gripping adventure films.

CERFICIATE 15 (TBC)
This New scientific film out is all about extraterrestrial beings, aliens invading earth the universe.
The story was set primarily in Los Angeles USA, where most end days or scientific films are often set.
These wired aliens arrived one early morning about 4.30am unexpectedly, setting up camps above all major cities of the world. Pumping out blaze blue ray kind of light from their giant ship toward the ground, causing an early sunrise of which anyone closer in their house couldn’t believe it was morning already. Most looking at the time was curious about the time, then were carried away with the beautiful blue light that makes their eyes turn milky white and inflames blood vessels, prominently pronouncing them on the skin and holds them captive. The ship’s brilliant glow transfixes anyone staring at it long enough for them to be literally sucked off their feet and into the vesse’ls innards. The Aliens threatening to hoover mankind from existence as every hoover take at once every living being in a particular city living noting but just cars and houses. What are they doing with humans?
Our heroes, some local LA resident’s, Jarrod (Balfour), Terry (Faison) and Elaine (Thompson), planed an escape for survival which is to run out of the city where the unreal is happening, not knowing that it is taking part in all parts of the world. But how can they exit the 20 story building with even smart cars when these aliens are everywhere with their lights and mostly little devil monsters swimming around on ground level. this made the chances of any one on earth surviving appear to be somewhere between really slim and none.
Taking a chance of staying in the paint house of the tall building didin’t help that much, thou they understood what was happing from there, knew they didn’t have much time to waist, because the monsters were now finding their way into the building and claiming human lives.
What was it were they doing with humans again? Oh yeah! They sucks out humans brain, which glows blue and uses it to replace the damaged or worn out brain they have been using. Basically they use human brains as a means of strength and energy which fully revives them when damaged. The world appeared to be a jackpot for them, and they came to take as much fuel, resourses as they can find. "maybe this is might be what the Strause brothers think".
Lovers of scientific and Alien invasion films would find this film quiet entertaining and kept them waiting because usually in every invasion films mostly aliens, there is always a little narrow way out or the actors discovers an achihill of the mosters and uses it against them, but on this films, viewers kept hoping to see something to hook on to for a way out earlier in time and wouldn't find any "i didn't". "Skyline adds to them with an eerie sense of impending doom".
Special effects gurus Colin and Greg Strause, who also directed Aliens vs Predator in 2007, and worked on high profile films under their company Hydraulx such a "2012","Day after tomorrow", "300", "Avatar", and many more has set out to create the ultimate invasion tale, literally laying siege to the entire system, using their own special effects company. The film was made under a year and didn't cost much. Colin and Greg proved to their viewers that they can not only direct but can put together a whole film on their own.
The film was almost entirely shot in the apartment block where Greg Strause lives, in Marna Del Rey, California. The physical production was about five hundred thousand dollars, while the visual effects that total the budget was around ten to twenty million.With the background in special effects, the film actually has over 800 virtual effects shots, more than most studio blockbusters.The film was release on 12/11/2010 in North America and United kingdom and hopefully a sequel coming soon!
