Such a frustrating disappointment

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

What begins as a promising premise, and remains so is immediately hampered by Dan Ewing and Tom Pockock's meeting. These ex-"Neighbours/ Home & Away" actors, and I use the term 'actor' loosely, undo any hint at danger in this dreadfully written script. The photography is good, the music quite good, but the 'acting' is absolutely appalling. Seriously, these guys and gals need to take some acting lessons or better still, spend some time on stage in the theater where actors learn how to act, not just pose for the camera. If they are graduates of established drama schools like NIDA or WAPA, then these schools have failed and should be treated as "Soapies feed factories. They sure as Hell don't teach acting skills. Dreadful script predictable to the end; characters so 2D they don't need to open their mouths; acting - just appallingly bad. what an abysmal entry that could have been so much more. Alas, it is a SyFy Channel movie transplanted to Australia at best. To think Dan Ewing is considered "an up and coming star". If he is, we're in trouble. He cannot, I repeat cannot act to save himself....or indeed this film.

It was one of the worst things "not just movie" I've ever seen. How this movie has got a rating of 6.5 is beyond me!! I don't want to waste any extra words on this shitty movie but because it is compulsory to write a minimum of 10 lines I would have to apologize for the following.Awful Awful Awful.I beg of you if you are reading this review not to waste two hours of your life watching this movie.I don't normally write reviews but I feel it is my social duty to try and warn as many people as I can from watching this horrid thing.

Red Billabong is something completely unique and refreshing. We have never seen an Aussie film like this before, and i think that's what makes it a winner. Beautiful Australian scenery, mixed with a hot cast, with a few familiar faces along with lots of new ones too, are the perfect receipe. The cinematography is amazing, as is Luke Sparke's direction and writing. You can tell he was influenced by films such as Jurassic Park. I don't mind at all, because that is one of my favourite films ever! The characters are the kind that keep you invested. I love the chemistry and the bromance between Dan Ewing and Tim Pocock's characters, brothers Tristan and Nick. There's no secret this is a monster flick, but what exactly is the Red Billabong monster? That, you will have to find out for yourself.

I came into this movie not knowing what to expect. The cast had assured me this wasn't the typical scary monster film and they were most definitely right!! This movie showed two brothers in a fun and innocent (mostly) light. And they stayed true to the traditional Aussie spirit, with dialogue and actions. The overviews of the rugged terrain and sweeping farming properties gave the film another level of authenticity. The monster was probably the best part of the whole film. Tying it into local Indigenous myth and cultures, and the large number of Indigenous actors (from large roles to small roles) was brilliant!This isn't your typical monster film, and has a level of depth behind many of the plot points you don't normally see in this film genre. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed!!
