That was an excellent one.
Best movie of this year hands down!
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
View MoreThe movie was so boring, I couldn't even laugh at how bad it was. Long Weekend constantly made me try to care about the relationship of the two main characters but failed at it terribly. Acting was fine scenery was fine that's about it. Not much happened in the movie expect for the couple fighting and the main character Peter keep being a dick to the nature and the movie doesn't explain itself and just gives the "that's what happens when you mess with Mother Nature!" Felt pretty dissapointed sorry.
View MoreConsidering that I'm a big fan of nature and that I'm scared of the harmful species of animals that exist in Australia-- like deadly sharks, scorpions, spiders and jellyfishes--, "Long Weekend" was apparently a good choice. In parts. A couple goes to a solitary beach to enjoy the weekend, and as they start messing with the nature, it starts striking back. It is an original story, for sure, but main characters are so annoying, stupid and arrogant that we feel like letting them die for the sake of the world. Mainly the male character, who has no respect for his wife and offends her all the time. Also, we spend too much time waiting for something to happen-- and it never really happens. There are just some few suspenseful scenes, and I believe they could have built more with such subject. In the end, it is not THAT bad, neither recommendable, anyways.
View MoreThe film tells the story of a troubled couple in spending a weekend in a far-off beach, having to deal with the consequences of their reckless actions toward nature. The plot may seem a bit poor, but it does have its tense and intense moments. It's not scary at all, just somewhat eerie.While acting is pretty straight, characters are really poor. Carla, the wife, is just unbelievably annoying. Impetuous, whinger and harassing. Unbearable. Peter, the husband, is not much better, reckless and arrogant. They obviously don't get along very well, and, as soon as the problems start to show up, rising the mystery behind the plot, their reactions just overbore it. I would say more than a half of the film nothing happens other than their constant argument. Thus, the plot develops very slowly. Maybe if there were more characters it could have been much better. Their dog is far the most likable character on the entire film.Filming is o.k., it manages to rise the tension of the plot. Scenery is great, but it does get monotone after a while.
View MoreTwo fine actors are roped into making a film for which the description "spectacularly, monumentally, epically bad" doesn't even come close to deriding adequately. If there were a way to rate it zero stars, I would have done so.Two more unredeemable and unintelligent characters cannot be imagined. It is impossible to relate to either of them even for an instant. By comparison, the Texas Chain Saw killer is someone you can find more common ground with. All you can do is sit with your jaw open, spellbound by the awfulness of the material and the stupidity of the reactions of the two.The dreadful, unsatisfying repulsiveness of the film is not the fault of the actors. The sad excuse for a plot has no purpose, no logic, and no sense, and most of all there is no possibility of suspension of disbelief.Baffling why anyone would think this thing is marketable.
