McGregor M @whimsyfkcknlala Feb 9 WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK DID THEY DO TO THIS MOVIE. Fucking abhorrent. To go from a film that reflected uncomfortable history but showed a potential for a better future to marshmallow edging and putting a comedic spin on a history that SHOULD boil your fucking blood???? WHAT. THE. FUCK. Hell. NO. See more BJ M @HotMovieStar Feb 5 I really really wanted to like this movie. It did have some epic scenes of cattle herding and battles and the Australian countryside. There was an attempt at being artsy but it failed and kind of broke up the plot. The actors were competent but the interactions were so cheesy and trite that I laughed at times. It almost seemed like a satire of the genre. I think there is a lot of good aspects - it just got too long and too predictable. The bad guy was so bad it seemed cartoonish. The interaction between characters was so overdone it seemed corny instead of inspiring. I sat there watching this movie thinking to myself okay I should be feeling sad or touched now at this part - but the feeling just wasn't there - it felt kind of like a flash in a pan. I think some people will really like this one and good for them and I can see some worth and value in the epic adventure angle and star value of the actors. It just fell short for my date and I.

But this movie doesn’t serve either very well. Scenic at times. Just not that interesting of a story. See more Dhanya B. @subway Dec 28 Production: 8/10 - Promising setting, cast, and concept - Historical context/cultural aspects were accurate and relevant Plot: 3/10 - Scattered between too many genres, hard to follow - Whole movie was predictable and cliche besides cultural aspects Cinema: 2/10 - Felt nothing throughout movie - Didn't get attached to any characters - Deaths/near-death events were random and unnecessary Memorability: 3/10 - No lasting scenes - Storyline dragged; around the second half of the movie, could feel every minute passing - Ending was completely expected, did not leave a lasting feeling Do not recommend See more thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 25 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Crawford A @RT19255657 Jun 4 Australia is a cinematic monsoon—ravishing, overripe, and roaring with old-school Hollywood ambition, as if David Lean had fallen into a didgeridoo. Luhrmann orchestrates it all with fevered devotion: burning skies, galloping cattle, crashing bombs, and romance so ripe it practically perspires. Nicole Kidman floats between farce and feeling with the grace of a porcelain tornado, while Hugh Jackman smolders like a campfire in human form. The film’s sheer scale—both visual and emotional—is breathtaking, perhaps even too much for delicate constitutions or minimalists with weak knees. But for the rest of us, it's a dazzling fever dream of nation-building and love, painted on the largest canvas since Gone with the Wind dared to blow.
