oooMILESooo

Promising so much and delivering very little is the current crop of Australian cinema. Having so many ideas and stories to tell, Australians should take the lead in creating well developed movies. Lacking the same financial support as larger countries does indeed hinder the films production qualities. But it's the WAY you tell the story that is compelling. ALL is lost in Beneath Hill 60. (Firstly, I am a lover-Encourager-Partipant of Australian films) The Film began in the dullest of all dulls with a tedious & cheap score to the exposition that is blurted out in such raw form you cringe at the actors who have given what they must try and perform.

The story is unbelievable in history and yet completely lifeless in this production. Instead of focusing on the event we are dragged through a watch-checking *Aussie Story*. the characters are skin deep, we know streaky is a good runner but thats the obvious set up- there is no exploration in the script. It's sad to think of the money spent to show us such tripe which in a simple form with a director that could have the balls to put together his own cut of the film, instead of this reduced(90min) version, we miss vital scenes that would actually keep us from staring endlessly at the clock. But then again, if the director added more *Dinkum* footy songs/ Crying of the Young Diggers / Extremely Clichéd "Army general" characters, then I must thank you. Thankyou for not destroying money nor time. I think we both know you have destroyed your fair share- along with Australian Director Reputations.

(Also - Why on Earth would you cast the voice over guy for Village Cinemas in your movie??? This idiotic decision creates a huge problem taking the character seriously-when all you think the next line will be "THIS SUMMER..." (movieguy voice)

Even though this film's production vales are low and you can see it's failures clear as day- It somehow engages you in a way that you want to see where this all goes.

This film is somewhat a softcore porno that is doubling as a Zombie Horror. It delivers on NEITHER of these areas, leaving you feel a bit glass half empty after watching, not knowing if you should go all out in one direction.

This movie is dull and slow, but it has heart as well a lot more body. If you have Nothing, and I mean NOTHING to do-This is Perfect viewing for you!!!

This Game is a good looking First Person Shooter. -----------Hang on......

But of course a story must be put around this genre, so a quite innovative plot about soldiers now driven by drugs to save the world and kill the terrorist, Nectar is the drug of choice which creates a super soldier.

Great, now just give us some fun, challenging missions, throw in some great new weapons and free terrain vehicles that can be driven at our leisure and I will be quite content.

NO!!!!

The maker's of this game decide to create a propagandish, military driven game, that tries to make sense of our fears of terrorism and embracing democracy. The game has twisted ideals that just re-enforce morals that we learned when we were in primary school, nothing new is told to us, but "Drugs are bad...mmmkay". Then pushed in a type of ....Yvan eht Nnnioooojjjjj! (join the navy) of how standing up for the common good, given rants on normality and abnormality, right and wrong....GOOOOOOOOOOD WE GET IT! LET's KILL SOMETHING!!!!

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't, You are forced to endure extremely long gaps of completing BULLSH!T objectives such as "Run to Helicopter"......."Go to group of Troops" .....Then once this is completed.........CINEMATIC takes over.........You sit there for at least half of the game watching little scenario's played out by the characters, one's you CANNOT skip, but sit and wait, sometimes when people aren't even talking, we sit and wait for a helicopter to land!

Bad game, by a laughable group of programmers! Don't bother making another because I will rather see the movie!
