Outback

This got to be a joke, i was expecting a decent thriller, but instead I've witnessed a gradually degrading and nonsensical mess. If the couple were dropout students or written as mentally challenged then i would've suspended my disbelief, because they're both portrayed as complete morons, is that what the writers were going for? In that case it's still very poorly handled on their part. This film just drags on and every action becomes even more infuriating.

Can i say anything good about this movie? Visually it's alright, the actors did a believable portrayal of dumb people stereotypes, guess we wouldn't have a plot if they has common sense.

I know I'm sound unreasonable harsh, but there is no other way to for me to express how disappointing this movie was.

Verdict 3/10 - Should've stayed in quarantine.

As an Australian, and from the outback, constantly suprised that people don't know a few simple rules. Never, ever travel without water, and if you break down, never ever leave your car, and always tell someone where you are going. Dirt roads, you better know where you are going. I don't know about the windshield water though, looks like he was drinking radiator water, which i was always told never to drink as it has coolant in it?, but having always filled up my windshield wiper water resivour with water only, i would have drunk that. No snow or ice in the outback, so no antifreeze.

Ignore the 10s, as they must've been written by the crews family, and ignore the 1's, as they must've been written by trolls. This movie is peak mediocre, 4 is a perfect score.

I'm an Aussie with a love for the outback & even I could make stupid mistakes like they did. Makes you think about what you would do in another country in their situation. A couple of face palm moments but all in all, I think it was worth a watch.

The movie wants to make us believe this really happened in 2015 to a young American couple, but from everything I can find out it appears to just be a fictional story, based on an urban legend.

The young 20-something couple travel to Australia for a "get away" trip, on the flight over he presents the ring, he asks her to marry him. But she doesn't appear ready, she says she loves him but hasn't decided yet what she wants to do with her life. That gives a bitter start to their trip but they try to make the best anyway.

Their troubles start when with inadequate preparation he relies on his phone GPS to guide them to a destination. However it seems to give them faulty guidance, they basically get lost and from there the poor decision just mount and mount.

I watched it on DVD at home and I must admit I skipped quickly through the scenes where he drank his urine.

I have watched a lot of movies, averaging roughly 200 to 250 new movies a year for the past 20 years. I can recognize a poor movie when I watch one and this is a poor movie. I find myself wondering "why was Outback made?" If I were to arrive at a summary it would be "preparation is everything when traveling to a strange place." They did not, they made stupid decisions, they suffered the consequences. It doesn't take 90 minutes to deliver that message.

I didn't find anything particularly interesting in the characters or their predicament. I could not recommend this movie to anyone.
