Warner Bros. has released eight new clips, thirty-nine images and six posters for their new release, the true-story drama "The 33". The film is based on the 2010 disaster which involved 33 miners who were trapped in a Chilean mine for 69 days.
As I somehow expected, the film received mostly mixed reviews. Movies of this kind often rely too heavily on genre formula, and the same seems to be true for "The 33". While the critics praised the performances of its cast and the story is powerful enough to sell itself, the film suffers from too many familiar cliches and soap-opera tactics that undermine the emotional punch.
Directed by Patricia Riggen ("Girl in Progress"), the film stars Antonio Banderas, Rodrigo Santoro, Juliette Binoche, James Brolin, Lou Diamond Phillips, Bob Gunton and Gabriel Byrne.
Check out the clips, images and posters after the jump.

Official Synopsis
"In 2010, the eyes of the world turned to Chile, where 33 miners had been buried alive by the catastrophic explosion and collapse of a 100-year-old gold and copper mine. Over the next 69 days, an international team worked night and day in a desperate attempt to rescue the trapped men as their families and friends, as well as millions of people globally, waited and watched anxiously for any sign of hope. But 200 stories beneath the surface, in the suffocating heat and with tensions rising, provisions—and time—were quickly running out. A story of resilience, personal transformation and triumph of the human spirit, the film takes us to the Earth’s darkest depths, revealing the psyches of the men trapped in the mine, and depicting the courage of both the miners and their families who refused to give up. Based on the gripping true story of survival—and filmed with the cooperation of the miners, their families and their rescuers—“The 33” reveals the never-before-seen actual events that unfolded, above and below ground, which became nothing less than a worldwide phenomenon."
