Canopy let's you experience war and envelope you into the Singaporean jungle with our hero. It's immersive and tense. It gives you a first hand account of anticipation and fear and challenges your notions of cinema with war themes. Not an action film, this is an experience you'll love or hate. Very worth while cinema

WHAT A GREAT MOVIE! WELL DONE...MUST SEE! GREAT SOUND...VISUALS....ACTING

I do like the fact that this movie is unusual and therefore worth a look. Loved the jungle scenery. However, I have been to Singapore and It seems like the most humid place on earth. It seemed to me the actors were not that uncomfortably hot. Their uniforms too clean and not enough sweat other than their hair was always wet.Here is a spoiler that should be noticed but don't read this if you like surprises. Notice at the end that the family picture is on the mantle and the man seems to be the flyer returned home. It's significant and touching but goes too fast compared to the rest of the long film.

Canopy celebrates the art of visual storytelling and atmospheric emersion. Aaron Wilson's sensibility about his characters journey, compels the audience to really think hard, and then feel deeply what these two allied pilots endured and the bond they formed while evading the Japanese. Actors Jim (Khan Chittenden) and Seng (Tzu-yi Mo), portray the innocence in war with a human story of survival and friendship. Their performances are bound together by non-speaking roles and the unforgiving Singapore jungle, where their planes were shot down during Wartime in 1942. As non-language film, Canopy exposes it's audience to the emotional effects of isolation under duress, the jungle is both a threat and sanctuary, giving security when needed but ultimately driving you further into the unknown inevitability of war in a foreign land. The most remarkable aspect of experiencing Canopy in the cinema, is feeling the embodiment of the characters environment. The Singapore jungle is brought to life by it's sounds, emphasised by an amazing surround cinema mix...this is a sound and vision feast for character driven film lovers.
