OK, I saw Australia back in December, so I'm a little rusty, forgive the late review. But looking back on this movie and just thinking about it really did help me in looking at the film and it's story. Australia was... Full review

This film struggled, throughout its epic length, to stay upright. Unfortunately at the end it stumbled and fell like a pile of bricks. It tried to juggle so much, but in the end, turned out to be too little. The film... Full review

It seems just about right that Baz Luhrman waited seven years after "Moulin Rouge!" to bring us "Australia". Not because it is a better movie, but because it's very different and a lot more ambitious. Of course that this has a... Full review

Boring insipid melodramatic cinema at its worst. Couldn't wait for it to end. Cliche' ridden, overdone mini-epic of mini proportions. Hack directions. Really stunk!... Full review

And on that level grand music, panoramic cinematography, a little lovin' around the campfire it genuinely works.....Indeed, it's an impressive pyrotechnic display, providing the backdrop for his principal characters not knowing which among the others is alive or dead..... ... Full Review

Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman fail to generate much passion as the lovers, but the luminous landscapes and shimmering skies more than compensate..... ... Full Review
| Apr 02, 2009Urban Cinefile
The film looks magnificent but is far too long.....Or stampeding cattle on the barren red desert, pounding hoofs melding with the frenetic percussion of David Hirshfelder's imposing score.....But these things don't stop us engaging with the film, and some of the big moments, like the cattle stampede towards a precipice....especially once the film's dramatic engine is switched on.....Bryan Brown is totally believable as the scheming King Carney.... ...

The aptly titled "Australia" gives us a new perspective on the far-reaching effects of the second great war, this time from Down Under, a view....The fourth film from director Baz Luhrman is one of those "sweeping epics" set in, oddly enough, Australia, during World War II..... ... Full Review
| Mar 27, 2009Monsters and Critics
With the exception of a few spotty CGI moments, the film is a visual treat with the Queensland vistas being quite the high-def showcase.....It's not a good film, but you can't say....Walters is an extraordinary little actor....the rest of the film struggled to attain.....This is a toughie as I enjoyed several aspects of the film but found.... ...
