Bewertungen und Rezensionen

While there are certainly the obvious parallels of a group of teens uniting together to perform guerilla warfare against an enemy occupation force in a country nobody ever thought could/would be invaded, that is where it ends. As for content, this would be a light version of Red Dawn as it shifted the focus some, though not entirely, from the characters to the action. Someone definitely put some money into special effects, though not a lot. It basically covers an initial character/personality introduction section with obvious foreshadowing. Then discovery of the situation. Determining flight or fight amongst the group, then taking out a bridge central to the enemy maintaining occupation of the area and using the Harbor to bring in resources. Where as Red Dawn carried it though to the pseudo present. The ending being left open for a sequel, though I doubt there will be one let alone a feature film sequel, was however more positive than Red Dawn, but less fulfilling. This is not a movie I would have gone to see in the theaters, so I am glad to catch it here as I would have just waited till it came out on Netflix/Hulu/Amazon months from now. Good filler movie though.

About 20 to 30 min into the move (if you've seen both old and new version's of Red Dawn) before this movie you're going to assume it's the Austria verison of RED DAWN, but the movie is pretty entertaining overall. Might even make you shop around for the book series in which I just learned exist thx to the clown Kevin. And hopefully since based off a book series they will go ahead and do more cause I for one want to see how it plays out

The movie was absolutely amazing, breathtaking in every way possible. It was like Hunger Games meet Rambo. I suggest you get it. It's also on Netflix. And p.s. Marvin Armstrong, I'm not sure in what world or country did Tomorrow When The War Began became a ripoff of Red Dawn.
