The Dig is a well shot filmed, with some great performances from a talented cast. The main issue with The Dig is its pacing. The film is incredibly boring when there's no advancements on the excavation. I think the premise is great and interesting, but the terrible execution ruined most of the interest.
There are plenty of subplots that just don't matter, and happen to really slow the movie down. There's a love subplot that feels unnecessary, and I really couldn't be less interested in such subplot. Every film has to have several subplots to keep the film going, but at least make it more about the main characters, or more closely related to the story.
The Dig is an overall decent film, but the screenplay slowed down this already slow paced movie. At times I was constantly looking at the clock to see when this movie would end, but it felt like time itself slowed to the same pace as this movie. Some may really love The Dig, but for me, it's a 6/10. Not a bad movie, but it certainly could've been better.
