5.0 out of 5 stars Crikey! Wizard of a movie from Oz, Feb 14 2009
By Amanda Richards "Modest to the extreme" (Georgetown, Guyana) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Short Attention Span Summary (SASS):

1. Lady Sarah Ashley (Nicole Kidman) heads off Down Under to find out what her hubby is really doing when he says he's mustering cattle.
2. Kidman's performance is her best since Far and Away, and the cattle ranch Down Under is named Faraway Downs - coincidence or lingering sentiment?
3. Super hot Aussie all-rounder and hoofer Hugh Jackman heats up the screen as Drover, the Crocodile Dundee-type chappy who rounds up the cattle on the hoof.
4. Turns out that Lady Sarah ends up in the middle of a cattle war with the reigning King Carney (Bryan Brown) and his slimy sidekick Neil Fletcher (David Wenham)
5. Some of the story is narrated by Nullah (Brandon Walters) a young half-caste boy who sends Lady Sarah's heart over the rainbow
6. No prizes for guessing who else sets her heart aflutter
7. When droving cattle towards a billabong, never say Never Never
8. Still about two hours to go for this epic romance/adventure/drama that highlights the fate of half-Aboriginal children known as the Stolen Generations with the backdrop of the Japanese bombing of Darwin during WWII
9. You won't notice how long you've been sitting there


After watching this movie you'll want to know why it hasn't been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Motion Picture. (It's up for Costume Design) You'll find that it's both a heart-breaking and heart-warming memorable epic movie with big sets, gorgeous scenery, award-worthy costumes, magic and mysticism, humor, and yes, great acting.

Caution: Watching this movie may give one the urge to:

1. Load up a tucker-bag and head off on a walkabout
2. Throw another shrimp on the barbie
3. Tie a kangaroo down, Sport
4. Watch Judy Garland movies

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Sweeping Aussie Epic!, Mar 28 2009
By Ian Gordon Malcomson (Smithers, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Many of us have seen our fair share of `great' Aussie movies that tend to scour that country's landscape from head to toe and side to side in an incredible search for a national identity in history. A few titles come to mind: "Gallipoli", "The Story of the Kelly Gang", "The Man from Snowy River", The `Mad Max' series, and "The Cowra Breakout". All these and more were massive affairs that engaged the viewer in powerful human drama that blended in with the unique Australian terrain as their backdrop. This year's "Australia" is no different. The rugged outback is still there in all its supremacy and the story that accompanies it is just as heartfelt as the many that have gone before it. The problem with this performance is that while it doesn't take much to warm up my generation to sentimental romances such as told in this one - Lady Ashley's heroic efforts to save her late husband's ranch from the clutches of the unscrupulous Carney family - it probably does little to attract the fickle and disdainful moods of the X and Y generation. After all, they were the ones who got off on the `Crocodile Dundee' spoofs of the middle nineties where Australia was being showcased to the world as a place for crazy outbackers who liked to cavort with crodiles and other weird reptilia. Try and take them back in time to when the Australian white population was forcefully assimilating aboriginals into its culture and you might lose them. Having said that, there is plenty in this film to entertain and instruct: the adventure of moving 2000 cattle across the wilds of Arhem Land; lots of raucous scenes comng out of the port town of Darwin; a very strong presence of the aboriginal sprituality; many close shaves with nature and a compelling story that cleverly mixes fact with fiction. Some of the background setting was a little contrived when it came to creating the Japanese attack on Darwin in 1942 but, so what, when you consider the magnitude of this film to begin with. I rather suspect this film took a couple of hundred million dollars to make and might be hardpressed to recoup it all at the box office. It was nice to see Brian Brown still performing after all these years. Nicole Kidman was undoubtedly the star in her role as the `Boss Lady' with Hugh Jackman playing a very adequate role as her faithful `Drover'.

1.0 out of 5 stars Long, confusing, boring, Mar 21 2009
By Kilgore "wonderman1" (Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Look at the title of my review and you get my opinion. A movie that thought it would be epic but missed by a thousand miles. About a quarter of the way through I was hoping it would end but it just kept going.
