This movie seems to falter mid-stride a bit.
The pacing struggles between long, hot days in the Aussie sun and rabble rousing lynch mobs. The slow shots being better done than the pacier.
Their are some good characters and sets in use. But they come across as overdone and laden with clichés.
The script writing doesn't let the subtle relationship issues of a refugee group play out quietly. Relationships between characters are in your face and lack nuance.
Damn good effort though. If I'd put this project together I'd be pretty bloody proud of it. Hope the producers stick with it in these times of good Sci-Fi drought.
