Review of Tomorrow, When the War Began

I've seen a few that are worse. I expected an Aussie version of Red Dawn, which I quite enjoyed at a sort of mindless entertainment level many years ago, but this was basically just another episode of Home and Away. As others have said, all the characters are barely two-dimensional, and to be honest I couldn't really have cared less if any of them had been killed. Furthermore, the plot is riddled with holes and unbelievable action. I was amused by the way that the petrol tanker parked under one end of the bridge on dry land managed to completely destroy the bridge with secondary and tertiary explosions. Obviously the Australian Defense force should decommission its tanks, fighters and warships, and just build a few battalions of mutant ninja petrol tankers. These would obviously have stopped the invasion in its tracks. I don't mind science fiction, but it should at least be plausible. Nothing at all about this movie was plausible. And perhaps the most implausible thing about it is that so many people think it's actually any good.
