michaelseeds-00105 The definition of a trash movie. Feminist undertones, terrible acting. Over the top nonsense. One of the worst movies I have ever seen.

dave-501-176424 This series is a copy of an Australian production from 6 years ago. That wouldn't be so bad, but that production was a redo of the original "Red Dawn" which was an American film from 1984.So this series is a copy of a copy. Usually when you copy a copy, and so on, you dilute the original so much that the quality is reduced. That example is true in this instance.This series looks like it has such a low budget, with only a small cast of characters. This production is supposed to be an invasion of a large country (Australia) yet we only see about 20-25 invaders, and about the same amount of locals.I have actually fallen asleep watching some of the episodes. The story moves along so slowly I can't even tell if those kids will actually take an offensive action against these invaders. I am starting to think that it would be better if they were killed so that this painful TV series would be over. I highly recommend that you forgo watching this and rent the original 1984 film instead.

tinant Warning may contain some spoilers:If I hadn't read the books I would probably be loving this series. It is well made and I love Deborah Mailman.However I did read the books and feel disappointed at the changes. Following the parents really goes against the point of the book which is showing what young people can do. John Marsden wrote the books to show the potential of young people. Small changes are fine but they have changed a lot and are into events of book two and haven't blown up the bridge which is a major plot development! I do like the music and film style however. I understand budget could be an issue. I will keep watching however as I loved the books.

Matt Goodson I have read the books and seen the movie and absolutely loved them. When I heard that the series was coming out I was quite excited, I thought the void left by the lack of a sequel to the movie could finally be filled. Now after watching the first episode I'm beginning to think that that void will never be filled. I have found it quite utterly disappointing. Just seemed like the scenes of jubilation/slow motion happy happy joy joy were well overdone. Well i guess after hyping it up in my head it was always possible that it might not live up to my exceptions but i didn't think it was possible it would be this bad.Anyway I will hang in there for the next few episodes *fingers crossed* Please get better.
