I might start a petition to get back the last hour and a half of my life.

I love disaster movies. The first few minutes though made me want to bang my head against the wall. A girl can't go up in a hot air balloon because she has a scholarship. Right, OK, valid reason. (Really?) The protagonist goes out of her way to annoy a fracker which results in a total disregard for safety leading to her own personal tragedy. Yep, that is the sort of thing a protagonist would do. Turns out she's a paramedic or something too, as someone mentions in passing post-main disaster. The relevance? 'Do something, your mum's a paramedic!' And then the Junior Protagonist is able to help someone because her mum's able to do it. Who knows, maybe all kids of paramedics know how to treat people. I'm the daughter of a tailor, and the only thing I know is how to iron (not without incident either) so I'd be useless in a crisis.

There are unanswered questions for me, and that in itself infuriates me. The main problem to me is the rescue attempt. Every rescue needs an obstacle to overcome - that's what makes it exciting, right? Well, this one has a pretty big obstacle but how it's overcome is a mystery. There's this whole bit in between danger and safety that's missing. Thankfully the writers never penned The Prestige.

In fairness, the actors weren't awful. The script was, the effects were, but the actors weren't. Sadly, good acting would not have been able to redeem characters you just don't care about, and you can't care about them because the writing is appalling. In this industry though, as a screenwriter you only have to get lucky once, and somehow these ones got lucky. Not sure how. It's hard to imagine any of these (older) actors read the script and thought 'this is going to be a box office hit'. The young ones, OK. They might have done. It feels like the writers were told it was their last day, finish what you're doing and clear your stuff out. This movie is their revenge.

It's not bad enough to be good. I've rated as a 2/10 because someone managed to get a couple of decent actors in that cast, and that person deserves a treat. Realistically though, if you value your time, go and do something you really love - and if that's watching movies, avoid this one. It's a shame though as I do quite like some of the actors in this and I was really hoping it'd be Snakes on a Plane bad.

I'm so glad I watched this on YouTube at high speed. It should be called Stinkhole.

I have to admit that when I stumbled upon the 2013 movie "Sink Hole" and saw that rather low rating it had gotten on IMDb, then I was doubtful about watching the movie. But still, with it being a disaster movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to sit down and watch what writer Keith Shaw and director Scott Wheeler had to offer.

And this was a disaster movie alright. But not in a good way. Nay, "Sink Hole" was just a, hands down, terrible movie. There is no need to beat around the sink hole here. Take heed, people, the low rating is indeed an indicator of what you are in for here.

The storyline, as written by Keith Shaw, was bland and just downright boring. It felt like the script, storyline, characters and dialogue was written by a pre-teen preparing to write a play for a live action role-playing gaming group. Yup, you are not in for anything spectacular here.

As a disaster movie, then having proper special effects is a must. Did the 2013 movie "Sink Hole" have that? No. Not even remotely close to anything resembling proper special effects. In fact, the CGI in "Sink Hole" looked like something taken out of an early 1990s computer game. It was pretty lousy and bad to look at.

I do wonder why the likes of Jeremy London and Eric Roberts pop up in movies such as these. I suppose the script sold the movie better than what was delivered to the screen.

If you enjoy disaster movies, do yourself a favor and skip on "Sink Hole". This was as boring, bland, predictable and generic as they come.

My rating of "Sink Hole" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
