springymajig Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Well for a start, it's from a series of children's books that I think was released in the 80's maybe early 90's. I've read the first one, which this film is based on, and it was quite fun and felt like it was gonna have a point but then it got to the end and was more or less like... Stay tuned for part 2! Which was really dissapointing. Secondly, in the books, what's quite interesting is that the author intentionally made the "enemy nation" vague, basically describing them looking and sounding like they could be from anywhere so as not to come across xenophobic and to focus on what the story was really about: action and (poor, childish) character development (I said it was fun, it wasn't particularly deep). This trailer looks almost EXACTLY what I imagined it to be, in fact I guessed it was Tomorrow when the War Began within the first few seconds. The only thing that's different is that they look A LOT "prettier" and hollywood than I imagined.

Guest analogue wings Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 (edited) That sounds like the kind of book you would read at school if you lucked out and nobody told you about the Tripods Trilogy Edited August 6, 2010 by analogue wings Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/58551-lolstralia/#findComment-1388337 Share on other sites More sharing options...
