At the end of Cave Rescue, we get to see video footage of the real people who experienced the events.
#CAVE STORY METACRITIC MOVIE#
For a split second in the movie Thirteen Lives, we see one of the young boys opening his mouth to get drips of water from the cave wall. I just wanted to hug the boys and was so emotional watching these films! The boys went so long without food, which is possible, so I wondered how they were getting water.
#CAVE STORY METACRITIC HOW TO#
They explained that the coach taught them how to meditate and be calm. The first thing the boys said was "Thank you." They were so humble and affirmed that they loved their coach, even though he felt terrible for getting the boys into dangerous trouble. It's when two of the divers first found the boys. There's a super sweet scene in Thirteen Lives that really touched me. So much for superheroes.these rescue workers are the real deal. Many of the actors in the movie Cave Rescue were the people in real life who experienced the ordeal. In reality, the water would have been extremely muddy with terrible visibility. The cinematography by Sayombhu Mukdeeprom in Thirteen Lives does an excellent job of making us hold our breath and gasp for air. In both Thirteen Lives and Cave Rescue, we're shown a map of the cave and a time counter that tells us where the divers are and how much time has passed since the rescue operations began. Ron Howard's film utilized over a thousand people to portray all of the action! Even though we know the outcome of the story (if you paid attention to the news when this was happening in real life), all movies do a good job of building tension and suspense. In Cave Rescue, we also hear French and Spanish. They all speak with accents and are absolutely fantastic.

Also in that movie are Colin Farrell and Joel Edgerton. Viggo Mortensen speaks multiple languages, and apparently, he's also a fix-it guy, volunteering to fix equipment rather than wait for the crew. I adore Viggo Mortensen, so that persuaded me to favor the Thirteen Lives version by Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard.

Rescue diver Jim Warny plays himself in that version. While Thirteen Lives was a big Hollywood production with elaborate sets and soundstages, Cave Rescue was actually filmed in Thailand near the actual locations where the events occurred. We get to see how the world came together to rescue the boys. In all of the films, we get to learn and watch various rescue techniques that were used to try to save the boys. It's fun to see the food, homes, and religious culture illustrated in all of them. Thirteen Lives gives us time to get to know some of the rescuers a little bit better. In all of them, we get to travel to beautiful Thailand. More than 5000 people from 17 countries participated in the real-life rescue.
#CAVE STORY METACRITIC SERIES#
There's Cave Rescue by Tom Waller and Lionsgate, Ron Howard's Thirteen Lives on Amazon Prime, a National Geographic documentary called The Rescue that was nominated for an Oscar, and a Netflix limited series called Thai Cave Rescue.

A boys' soccer team was trapped in the Tham Luang cave by rising floodwaters in Thailand in 2018. It's a fascinating story because it's true. Four separate movies been released almost simultaneously about this story.
