Three Films in One
Given that Australia is a three hour film, each hour is effectively a genre in itself: culture clash rom-com, epic romance, and war movie. As such, it is tonally all over the place, especially when you add sad orphan and awkwardly-inserted villain. The film looks great, but it never really comes together.
Best films ever:
Snakes on a Plane
Snakes on a Train
Snakes in a Drain
Snakes on Mark Twain
