Review of Tomorrow, When the War Began (2010) by Cassandra D — 09 Jan 2011

Enjoyable but flawed.

This might satisfy young viewers, yet those who grew up with the books will likely be disappointed... It did not delve deep enough into how their attitudes towards fighting, staying alive and staying sane were constantly evolving. Even the actions parts were totally played down in the movie. It basically tells the same story but skips right over what I think to be key parts and dumbs it down by having ZERO emotional intensity..

I hate the way it ended, and while I cant say I was happy because I know how much of the story this movie missed I do want to see a sequel because there is soo much more to tell..
