Reveiw – Tomorrow, When the War Began

Looks like someone down under really likes Red Dawn. This actually doesn’t fare too poorly in comparison to John Milius’s great contribution to civilization. Some mysterious foreign power invades Australia, allowing the plot to partially side-step the geopolitical awkwardness of a named aggressor. The teenagers who form a werwolf unit and go to war are considerably more life-like than the Wolverines. That’s a plus and a minus. They’re more likable, but they also spend more time with typical 21st century teenage banter and bickering. Overall this is an entertaining if not particularly realistic action picture, not to mention an obvious set-up for a sequel or even a series. Mildly amusing
