![]() ![]() I could not recommend this movie to anyone. I didn't find anything particularly interesting in the characters or their predicament. It doesn't take 90 minutes to deliver that message. 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. I can recognize a poor movie when I watch one and this is a poor movie. I have watched a lot of movies, averaging roughly 200 to 250 new movies a year for the past 20 years. I watched it on DVD at home and I must admit I skipped quickly through the scenes where he drank his urine. However it seems to give them faulty guidance, they basically get lost and from there the poor decision just mount and mount. Their troubles start when with inadequate preparation he relies on his phone GPS to guide them to a destination. That gives a bitter start to their trip but they try to make the best anyway. But she doesn't appear ready, she says she loves him but hasn't decided yet what she wants to do with her life. 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. 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. ![]()
