Before Dawn

I gave this movie a 6/10 just.

It's harmless and tells the story of war many others have told.

It felt lazy and miss directed. The acting seemed very wooden, however this could have been due to the miss direction.

The trenches did not look real and the cinematography was average at best.

This Movie never got me gripped into believing I was at war with them. I Simply was not bothered and felt no emotion for any of the characters.

Their was no main story line or historical battles, just skipping through years at an accelerated speed.

Looking past the negatives, I love a WW1 movie and I preferred to have watched it rather than not.

Give it a go on Netflix or prime l, certainly not Cinema quality.

This movie feels cheap. I really hope it was, because if it wasn't someone screwed up big time. It starts in WA and the war scenes look like someone's dad got his excavator and dug some trenches and built some retaing walls in WA. Its looks ridiculous. They've taken every lame war cliche in the book and shoehorned it into the script but the actors deliver their lines like they are school kids. Barely one looks, acts or moves like they've done any soldiering. It's hard to watch. It comes off like a high school kids media project. Not worthy of the ANZACS. If your going to make an Aussie war movie do it right...

I saw this movie today and it wasn't bad at all.

I'm a fan of war movies, more like war movies based on true stories, and I can't say I was disappointed watching this.

It's not a movie that people are used to seeing and I'm talking about the fact that it's not an action movie with a lot of battles and more. It's actually a kind of drama film where you can see what young Australians were dealing with in the First World War, what a big problem the equipment in the trenches was and the fear that young people went into.

I enjoyed it, it was, again, a decent film and I learned a few things about ANZAC and for some newbie actors and a young producer with 10 million dollars. Budget and a production with over 1000 people, it was a great job.

This may not be an epic war movie but it's an important story about how young and naive our young soldiers were when they signed up for WW1.

It tells the story of young man conflicted between loyalty to his family sheep station and his mates volunteering for the war.

The conditions these kids fought under were appalling but the fought well and honourably.

There have been lots of war movies but most are American and about heroes....this one is about Aussie kids.

It was not the best movie but if you think about the era, 1916, and the sacrifices these soldiers made in a foreign country under terrible conditions, it's told well.

World War l was mainly fought on the European, Eurasian, and African continents. There were very few big engagements on the European continent similar to those of World War ll. The European continent had what has been called 'trench warfare.' These trenches can still be seen and examined today; the trenches are forever part of the landscape. This movie shows how boring and horrific living in the trenches was like: the quiet, the dullness, the filth, the monotony of daily life in the trenches is what the writer, producer, and director have successfully shown with no glory; what a remarkable achievement! This should be part of a World War l curriculum.
