The Last Wave
posted Sunday, 22 June 2003
I thought this would be a compelling movie about civil rights of Aborigines in Australia, but it turned out to be this weird x-files type of mystery/fantasy. It was interesting on one level, but pretty silly on others. Me and those I watched it with couldn't help going into MST3K mode after a while. The DVD has an amazing transfer from Criterion - so much so that at first I thought it was a modern movie that just had been set in the 70's. It drags in parts too. I would probably give it a C+/B-/2-2.5 stars.
