This might be the biggest crap i ve ever seen. It is militant, it is violent, it is unreflective, it reduces moral voices to justications of war

At 1:45 into the movie, I noticed she was holding the chainsaw by the HAND GUARD, not the actual handle. Let me explain this..The hand guard is not a handle, it's a GUARD, made to prevent kickback injuries. This helps prevent you from disfiguring your head, face, neck and shoulders and keeping you ALIVE.So before I continued on, I went back to IMDB/Amazon to check the good/bad written reviews.I skipped to the action scenes and they're so ridiculous lol. These kids wouldn't stand any chance..then again, it's just a movie...at least make it a little bit more realistic?Again, I didn't watch the whole movie, so take this with a grain of salt. I imagine if you have no experience/knowledge in firearms/military/etc, it's probably believable and enjoyable.Australia would cave so fast (no offense). Better hope America and NATO protects them forever :P.

A short bit into watching this film, it dawned on me (no pun intended) that this is the Australian version of Red Dawn. Which is not a bad thing. I've always enjoyed the original version of Red Dawn. And just like it, TWTWB is not overly deep, but is an entertaining movie that will not bore you.The good: The movie is visually stunning and has a good soundtrack. The action sequences are fun with excellent effects. The acting, while not great, is good enough to not be an issue. Caitlin Stasey and Deniz Akdeniz were the best of the bunch. Also, a special shoutout to the opening and closing credits, which were really cool.The not so good: The script was a bit weak. The character development was rushed, but I think this was to enable the movie to get to the action. I imagine the book is much better, but I have not read it.Summary: This is not a deep movie, and I suspect it appeals to a younger audience (like the Hunger Games demographic). But it holds your interest and actually goes faster than you'd like it to. I was surprised when it was over that an hour and 43 minutes had passed. If you're looking for amazing concept and dialogue, you won't find it here. But if you are looking to be entertained for 103 minutes, TWTWB will definitely do the job.I give it a solid 6 stars!

If you've seen Red Dawn (either the original or the recent version) then you've already seen this movie. A bunch of scared high school children band together to fight against a foreign aggressor after their small town and presumably the rest of the country gets invaded. The identity of the invading nation is not mentioned, but we are meant to presume they are either a Chinese or North Korean army invading Australia.The characters are really one dimensional. Think soap actor style acting in a theater of war and you will get an idea of how the awfulness permeates this film. The action sequences are well directed and the special fx look pretty decent, a fact that saves this ordinary movie from getting a less than five out of ten star rating from me.
