Review of Tomorrow, When the War Began (2010) by Christina M — 03 May 2012

Wow. What a triumph for the Australian Film Industry.

I had low expectations for this movie. I bought the DVD a while back.

And left it in the case for a good 2 months. But I decided to watch it.

I wanted to read the book first but because of the expectations I had.

Beforehand, it made me just watch it first and if it was good, read it.

Later. And for a movie which was made in Australia, it definitely.

Exceeded my expectations by a lot. The action/effects were one of the.

Best I've seen in Australian Film Industry, considering that Australia.

Isn't the one to spend big bucks on Movies. And to think that this was.

Only $25 million was just wow! Lots of films in America spend a lot or.

Too much for their production and usually come off as a cheesy or over-.

The-top film. But this was very different!

The characters were quite interesting although they are quite.

Stereotypical and have traits which we've all seen in the past. The.

Acting of Ellie (Caitlin Stasey) exceeded my expectations by a lot!

Before watching this I had known a little bit that she was in the show.

'Neighbours' and I've seen it a couple of times and it was cheesy and.

Pretty dumb. Caitlin Stasey outdid herself in Tomorrow, When The War.

Began. Especially at her age. She pulled off a performance that many.

Actors in Hollywood would struggle in. As for the other characters, I.

Found that Fi (Phoebe Tonkins) not knowing what 2 Minutes Noodles was a.

Bit ridiculous. I'm sure a rich-posh girl will at one point ate or at.

Least heard of them before! Another interesting character was Howard.

He was one of the stars of the film. Biggest character development.

Throughout. As for the religious girl (my favorite, even though her.

Traits are abit overused) I found her to be very likable and her.

Acting to be pretty decent. (even though it would've not been that hard.

To play her.).

The movie itself was very frustrating at times. 1. Not knowing who the.

Opposing army were. 2. Not knowing where the hell the Australian Army.

Was and not knowing where the hell the U.S or the British army were.

But other than that, it was a great movie. And I have made a decision.

That I will buy the whole series and read it. (After I read The Hobbit.

Though) And one last thing....I CANT WAIT FOR THE SECOND FILM.

(Sorry, If there were any grammatical or spelling mistakes. I'm only.
