There is a good movie on that episode of Aussie history, but it is defnitely not this movie. Do yourselves a favo(u)r and put Rabbit-Proof Fence on your Netflix queue instead.

I hate to admit this, but my knowledge about Australia comes from the
following two movies:

Crocodile Dundee
The Shrimp on the Barbie

Oh.... also tha movie with a talking kangaroo... I forget the name...

I got the Australia blu-ray for X-mas and noticed the same thing "Special Features" Disc One (no mention of a Disc Two!), maybe this was going to have a digital copy and it never happened? I've never seen the film but I heard it has a hell of a cattle stampede!

My bet is that they will re-release it as a 2-Disc Special Edition at the same time they release Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge ! later this year. Then maybe a "Save $5 now if you buy Australia: Special Edition and Moulin Rouge ! or Romeo + Juliet" sort of thing.

I just finished watching this for the first time tonight. Excellent movie.

What a great Valentine's Day movie to watch here. Me and my s/o both enjoyed it immensely. Why can't all romantic movies be like this?!

looks and sounds great on BD if not a tad cheesy. like it a lot though.

On time-mark 1:43:22 when they are kissing - IS THAT EDGE ENHANCEMENT ?????



Does not look good - wy do they using it when all it does is to give them a white line around them, it does not make the movie look sharper


Seems like they have misunderstood what the Blu-ray format is about


this is a screenshot of the scene, in my EU edition there is halon around the characters

Luhrmann is re-editing the film as an extended 6 part Hulu/Disney+ miniseries entitled Faraway Downs released this year, claiming he never got to finish the film properly when it was released as he wasn’t able to push the release date back, and that the film feels long because significant portions are missing.

This is fantastic news. I hope he restores the original ending that the test audiences nixed in which

[Show spoiler] Hugh Jackman dies

it always stuck out a bit and something seemed off in the theatrical version.
