impressions of australia...



...the movie, not the country lah...finally caught hugh and nicole yesterday arvo...and here are my thoughts

  1. sweeping vistas...shot like a tourism ad
  2. fabulous settings...the outback is stunning in its glory
  3. pretty good pacing...didn't feel the length at all
  4. cliched and stereotypical characters...the alpha male drover...the uptight yet maternal english rose sarah ashely...the leering baddie...you name it, you got it...
  5. major eye candy in the form of the uber-male hugh jackman and the ever-delicious nicole kidman (what fantastic calves she has...oooh la laaadrooling)
  6. thinnish plot which lurches around somewhat drunkenly
  7. cheesy and campy in parts...not exactly a bad thing actually...made it real fun to watch...especially the kangaroo part (gotta see it to appreciate it)
  8. felt a bit like 2 movies in 1...

epic? nope. a crowd-pleaser, for sure...overall, a 7/10 at best for me...

ps: brandon walters as nullah is the heart and soul of the whole story...what a debut! crikey!laughing
