The poster is misleading. There aint any scene where a woman is lying on a road n a snake nearby.

Very slow n boring movie.

This is difficult to rate, because on one hand the film-making craft, vision and sound, is fantastic, but on the other hand the characters are morons, thus difficult to connect with. The male twice as dumb as the female. The decisions they make in the story are so thoughtless and stupid one can have little empathy or sympathy for them. They are 100% responsible for their own downfall.

There's some truth in this with the GPS. In the countryside we once had similar issues using GPS around the town of Trentham. The thing was making us go up dirt roads, driveways and so, completely ridiculous. They don't perform well out there. There's heaps of country-side in USA. They should have known this. And why didn't they have a real map as backup? This is just one of dozens of things they stuffed up on. I had no urge to want them to survive they were so brainless.

Why waste time making a film where there is no real challenge except from their own badly functioning brains?

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.

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.

It's a good thing she didn't accept the proposal. Wade was dumb, naive and gullible. He could not have survived marriage, the army and the outback because of his stupidity. What a stupid man.

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.

People are WAY too harsh on this movie, it's not BAD. Idiot decisions are the reason why people get in these situations all the time. I've watched all of the I Shouldn't Be Alive episodes and two were in Outback Australia involving Australians making stupid decisions. I've gone for hikes and camping alone many times and it's easy to mess up if you're not prepared. I've been lost twice

The actors were great and I loved seeing my hometown Sydney. There's movies out there that are sooo much worse and people are giving this a 1 for some reason. It's a slow movie, not for all, but it was interestingly made.

Novice director and writer Mike Green makes his full length feature film debut with Outback, his resume having preceded only a handful of short films - of which this one probably should've been.

It's an 86 minute long slow paced true story about some relationship arguments and tons of walking - I mean tons, in the constantly same barren setting of the Australian Outback, adding a few critters here and there. The two leads didn't help much in elevating any of the films suspense - of what little there was. Taylor Wiese as Wade was pretty much bland and monotonic, and unconvincing when the dramatics began, and Lauren Lofberg as Lisa was annoying right from the start. Any chemistry between them seemed forced and fake. It's not like they're inexperienced actors, but it sure seemed like this was their first ever role. I'm sure it was mostly Green's inexperience on how to direct his cast.

The cinematography was decent, and I really enjoyed the soundtrack, and although the score was fitting for the most part, it was obnoxious when the dramatics began. This story was very repetitive and uninteresting to be a full length film, unless some Hollywood dramatics were added. I respect Green's decision to keep it accurate, but it should've been a short film, or at best a 1 hour long TV film - considering the lack of available substance that needed lots of filler to reach its runtime.

This wasn't a bad film, the acting was good, yes it was a bit slow but the film was intended to be. It doesn't deserve less than a 6/10 for the film that it is.

When it comes down to travel into unforgiving regions, then find yourself stuck in that reality far away enough you can't reach civilization & you haven't fully prepared yourself for such a reality then you're an idiot. This flick shows you what reality is for idiots. Learn from this flick before embarking into a different reality. k?

Australia is hot, so hot, and full of animals that won't hesitate to munch on you. We've seen all kinds of menacing outback stories, their villains include weather, snakes, crocodiles, psycho killers and even ghosts. In this one, for Wade and Lisa, two American tourists, the biggest villains might be their own decisions, before it's the outback. However, it does claim to be based on a true story, but, as you read the facts they present before the end titles, does it make the movie better in retrospect, justified?

Lisa Sachs and Wade Kelly are a young couple on a vacation in Australia and very much down for an adventure. Naturally, a string of shabby and a couple of real questionable decisions get made, before they find themselves in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nothing but desert. the scorching sun and the smaller dangerous outback inhabitants. The latter of which there's a lack of, if we take into account what all the posters are selling. Speaking of which, one poster tells "based on a true story", and the other "based on an urban legend" - not knowing much more beforehand, the "urban legend" part originally intrigued me. Well - and I believe this is not a spoiler - in the very first minutes of "Outback", it tells us that the true story (that took place in 2015) is the urban legend, has become one. A little lame, if you ask me. Though I gave it all but 20 minutes, in my research I found lots of stories about missing persons, deaths and survival adventures in the outback, but not a single one that could be what "Outback" is based on - even though there's a fair amount of usable information presented in the movie itself, information that's passed as true in our non-fictional world.

Big part of the movie is also about the couple's relationship problems, the values of love and being with your loved ones. It's a slow melodrama and it pokes holes in the already not-so-stable grit of "Outback", but in return it prompts sympathies from the audience, as it is indeed quite human. Almost exclusively the only stars of "Outback", Taylor Wiese and Lauren Lofberg give good and grounded performances, helping "Outback" maintaining its level of engagement. The summary moving speed is still rather unhurried, and it's a drama before it's a thriller.

As it is no surprise for many indie films nowadays, what's lacking in substance is tried to make up for in the aesthetical side of things. Tim Nagle, cinematographer of the stylish zombie flick "Wyrmwood", has taken care of that and given us a consistently well-composed cinematography that really could not be described as lazy. As far as special effects and gore go, you're in for very little. We mostly survive heat, desert and dryness in this one.

I can say that despite the slow pacing, it didn't require much dedication to keep being in it, but there are plenty of questionable parts, plenty of underwhelming turns, and once again I must say it's a case of "it's lesser than the sum of it's good parts". It's a 4/10 from me. In some places I just wanted our favorite outback menace, Mick Taylor, to come out and save this trip.

Oh it was awful, just a boring yarn, like an elongated bear grylls episode but with the emphasis based on drinking pee! hundreds of better stranded movies than this, infact i think this is the most tedious i have ever had the misfortune of coming across. basically, a couple in australia decide to go to ayers rock,get lost, and walk away from their car leaving them in dire straits. it really is that basic dont bother!

The film tells not about the difficulties that these people faced, but about their hopeless stupidity.

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.

Some of the reviews are unfair , the film accurately portrays two ill-prepared , unlikeable idiots (especially the male lead ) setting off into the outback , their idiocy is not the film's fault . If you are making a film about a week lost in the outback it will be slow and atmospheric , it will not be Speed 2. I found it to be quietly effective and a good film

7:47 minutes in and they show a picture of a harmless Black Headed Python and refer to it as "a black headed Taipan (a what?!), the most deadliest snake in the world and it's attracted to fear". That was where I switched off.

Rather than being classed as a Thriller, this movie is really a Drama, and a slow burn at that. I don't think it was a bad film, I can give it at most 6 stars out of ten. I even got emotional at one point. But in general this film way too slow paced for me, and could have definitely been shortened. It may have been more effective that way, but that's just me.

The morale of this story is to be careful travelling in any part of the world that's off road, off map. Stick to the main road and maps always. Plan ahead. Have emergency provisions always. Have back ups of everything. Use a clear, sensible head in all decision making, and of course tell someone not travelling with you, where you intend on going.

The main characters in this film made a series of very poor decisions, and were way in over their heads. This is what truly lead to their crisis.

As an Aussie, this film didn't cause me any suspense, and there was some inaccuracy regarding a route of locations mentioned. The cinematography was beautiful, though. That was probably the highlight of the film for me.

This film is horrible, it's just two incredibly dumb people doing dumb things.

This is an excellent film with continual tension, well acted by the two principal actors. The villain of the piece is the outback itself, with plenty of critters to keep our couple on their toes. I would recommend this film as a salutary lesson to anyone, Aussie or otherwise, who is contemplating a trip off the grid with minimal preparation and equipment.

This isn't a bad film, I like survival films, unfortunately the main characters don't know what the word "survival" means. Literally a couple of the dumbest people portrayed on film, and if it is a real story I'm sorry for what they had to go through. But, I pack more gear to go into local bushlands then they did to go into the outback, and then the series of ridiculous choices make it hard to have sympathy. In the end I like how the film looks and happy enough with the acting. Let this be a lesson to foreigners coming over here.
