Heróis do Amanhecer

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...

The whole time I watched this film, there wasn't really a moment that I felt invested in it. You couldn't sympathise for a single character besides the protagonist. As soon as you met one character, they would either die or become irrelevant to the story. I understand that this film is based on a true story. However, if you have to show in the opening credits that you practically did everything to make the film (directing, producing, etc.) to the audience watching. It probably isn't going to be that good of a film. The story itself was a bit interesting, but I wouldn't call this film a must see.

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.

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 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.
