Review of Australia

Australia (2008)
6/10
Opening Night in Western Australia
26 November 2008
Expecting a large audience at a local major cinema, I purchased the tickets for the movie two hours in advance, and even showed up 30 minutes before the scheduled start time expecting a huge line-up. Anyway, me and my three companions ended up with about a half dozen other people in the cinema to watch the movie. There are a few possible reasons for this that I can think of. First reason, the critics negative comments regarding this movie have put a lot of people off wanting to see it. Second reason, the looming recession is putting people off forking out for over-priced movie tickets. Third reason, Australians aren't as interested in this movie as the producers would have liked. And so on.

What ever the reasons, IMHO this isn't a must see movie. The story is shallow, the CGI looks cheap, the acting is second rate, and the characters are two dimensional. For a movie that took so long to make and cost so much money to produce, the end result isn't anything special.
