Last night, I watched "AUSTRALIENS", a low budget Sci-Fi Horror Comedy film on Freevee.
Andi has always believed in extra-terrestrials and has always been ridiculed by her friends and family, and now 17 years after encountering a UFO, they have come back for revenge and they launch a nation-wide assault centred in Brisbane, Australia.
To add to the debacle, it seems the other nations of the world are far too insulted by their exclusion from the attack to come to Australia's aid. Now it is up to Andi, her hypochondriac brother Elliot, retired boxer cousin Keith and documentary filmmaker friend Cam to stop the attack and rescue Andi's mum who for some strange reason has been kidnapped by the invaders.
Enlisting the help of Andi's equal-parts mysterious and cringeworthy father, the gang must battle car-chasing spaceships, martial-arts aliens, giant killer robots and, perhaps most frighteningly, a deluge of family secrets in their fight to save Australia.
The movie was crowd funded and the special effects were actually quite decent. However, the acting was not up to scratch and the film is very "Australian" in humour, I don't know any of the actors in the movie, but native Aussies might do.
I will rate this silly, daft, and slapstick film a score of 5/10.
It is worth a watch for a laugh.
