Well, I just saw Sanctum and yes, it was cool. It looked nice on a huge IMAX screen but I can see how some people might wanna choose to watch it in 2D because a lot of the movie was filmed in very tight and dark spaces. I was expecting to see more diving, I’d say there was less then 30% diving in it. 50% of it was climbing and crawling through caves, and 20% death (6 people die one after the other, out of 7). I guess it might encourage some divers to go for a cave diving cert, while most of us would be like, ’whoa, I think I’m okay with just open water’.
It’s inspired by a true story, so I looked it up. Great story but the big difference is that nobody dies in that one. I also noticed that Wes Skiles was one of the guys in that real story (he shot a lot of cool stuff such as ’Journey into Amazing Caves’, ’The Cave’ movie, etc.), he died last year while on rebreather (not in a cave, though).

Here’s a big interview about Sanctum, Cameron acknowledges in it that he faked rebreathers in ’The Abyss’. It was the real deal this time.
