the acting wooden, the characters stereotypes, the lead actress appears physically incapable of acting, (or even changing her expression) there might be some eyecandy for the ladies in Mr Jackman with his top off. but far too many lingering shots of single tears running down the faces of characters in substitute for any meat to the story.
There are some stunning landscape shots, but rip them out please and put them into a 2 minute Australian tourist board advert.
the second half of the film hangs together better as a story, but is rather let down by yet more bad acting and a poorselection of unrealistic looking special effects. (and after the first half you dont really care about the characters). Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
Kidman was at her best in Eyes Wide Shut, though that was a case of typecasting.
