It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Really good film but a total rip-off of Red Dawn. Even if it is based on a series of books, then the books are a total rip-off of Red Dawn, the story lines are practically identical. Enjoyed watching it but at the end I was expecting credits to say based on the original film 'Red Dawn,' because while good it is nothing more than an Australian version of that film. Credit needs to be given where credit is due.

At 1:45 into the movie, I noticed she was holding the chainsaw by the HAND GUARD, not the actual handle. Let me explain this..The hand guard is not a handle, it's a GUARD, made to prevent kickback injuries. This helps prevent you from disfiguring your head, face, neck and shoulders and keeping you ALIVE.So before I continued on, I went back to IMDB/Amazon to check the good/bad written reviews.I skipped to the action scenes and they're so ridiculous lol. These kids wouldn't stand any chance..then again, it's just a movie...at least make it a little bit more realistic?Again, I didn't watch the whole movie, so take this with a grain of salt. I imagine if you have no experience/knowledge in firearms/military/etc, it's probably believable and enjoyable.Australia would cave so fast (no offense). Better hope America and NATO protects them forever :P.

I enjoyed this Ozzie version of Red Dawn, it is similar in many ways, but an Australian take e.g. more laid-back. The likelihood of an Asian invasion has been a low level threat for half a century; a sort of a boogeyman for the Austalian populace, after the attack on Darwin during World War II.I reckon it would make a good TV series, as due to it's box office loss; they are unlikely to make a sequel. Plus, I am not sure what they spent all the money on, it could probably have been made for much less. This is the second time I have seen this movie; after the first time I decided to read some of the books.If you liked Red Dawn, you will enjoy this movie; I believe that it is suitable fare for all the family, except perhaps for the very young.

Started to watch this because of a maxim review. Told me it was an exhilarating ride of a movie. I was interested so I watched the trailer. It's nothing more than an Australian version of red dawn made for teens by teens. The original red dawn was outstanding, the remake was pretty good this movie falls somewhere between the butt crack and giblets of movies. Enough said. I watch a lot of movies and can tell you this is a bullet I dodged. I am so tired of these low budget quickie movies that are just put out to get something out there. If you can't make a decent movie, then why try at all? This movie is worse than sharknado. Get my point?
