SunnyHello Nice effects though.

GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

sydneycabbie The mix of excellent acting with the Australian outback as a backdrop (or was it the other way around ?), together with a musical score supporting a quirky script can only bode well for the Australian film industry. And it was the quirkiness which made this movie a success.Good to see Anne-Louise Lambert again, not sighted since Changi. Erik Thomson and Caitlin McDougall stole the show, but were ably supported by Brett Stiller, Simon Burke and Jessica Napier. And not to forget the the sheep, which could fall asleep on cue !(or did they use one of Mark Latham's policy speeches to put the beast to rest?)"The Germans" may have been straight out of Fawlty Towers, preparing for their worshiping of the Eclipse, shot in the beautiful Rainbow Valley, discovered only in the 1970s by Europeans. Let's hope this was the pilot of a series with many episodes to come ! Black comedy, under the Eucalyptus trees (Eucalyptus phenax), perhaps not understood by many viewers, passion and compassion in the bush, with characters from all walks of life - a must see - even for people from South Australia.

jdsilby The Alice outdoor scenes certainly were filmed in and around the real Alice Springs, and I enjoyed seeing some familiar places (Todd Mall, Anzac Hill, the John Flynn Memorial Church, the mural on the wall of Kmart, the Gap, the Macdonnell Ranges, Alice Springs railway station), as well as some great shots of the Central Australian scenery.The railway scenes appeared to be shot north of Alice Springs, on the new line to Darwin - an anomaly, since the character on (and off, LOL) the train was traveling from Adelaide to Alice Springs and these events should have taken place to the south of the town. The passenger lounge on board The Ghan looked authentic, as did the exterior shots of the train.The Adelaide station scenes were apparently shot somewhere other than at the station The Ghan uses, and the hotel into which the truck was driven was just a facade built for the film.Yes, it was a bit quirky, but I enjoyed it a lot.

Davo Australian Drama. Hmmmm.... It may seem so corny because this is where I live, but surely Aussie drama can do a bit better than this.... the scenery is real, the characters a little unbelievable. As a mini series? Doubt you would pull the viewers on the second night. As a series (as I have heard may happen), doubt much would be shot locally in the future. Very average performances all round I thought.... Nice to see my local town on Tele tho..... The spectacular scenery is shot well, giving an idea of what the area has to offer.What more can I say .... take in the beauty of the scenery and half an eye on the actors.

theobeez This is most clearly a pilot. If not, why not name it "Eclipse" or the like. It really had noting to do with Alice Springs other than a conveniently central point to bring the characters together. There was too much unanswered or left open or just not explored at all. The series may be worth watching to see the quirks of some of the characters explored a little more. It would have been hard for the actors to ply their trade as there was little opportunity with a very watery storyline. Not much character development either, really a pilot needs a bit more meat to want you to come back to the series when produced. Erik Thomson's character seems to swing from loony former hard rock idol to sensitive new age guy with no real reason why. Jessica Napier gives a creditable performance as the young woman trying to find her way alone while fighting the demons planted by her demented mother.
