Wow, this is just like the plot for Sanctum, even down to particular scenes (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0881320/) - minus the movie drama, of course: "An underwater cave diving team experiences a life-threatening crisis during an expedition to the unexplored and least accessible cave system in the world."
And I've always loved the tagline: "The only way out is down"
As far as I know, to date only 2 films have actually been filmed in 3D, Avatar and Sanctum. Which is probably why the 3D is done well.
What i meant was inspiring for exploration, deep sea, the space and so on.
The stories in his movie is often very mainstream, but look at the panorama scenes he makes. He really cares about impressive nature and unknown worlds. I really enjoyed Sanctum because of this, these deep caves are really impressive. The story is just something that makes is accessible for the masses. No theater would show a nature documentation and he wouldn't get the funds to make them.
