The film explores a group of boys and girls who decided to a remote area in a mountain in Australia. It is just a picnic in this area, but it turned into another horror way after they comes back to home. Life turned into a mysterious secret when they discovered that their families disappeared. They must fight to get their life back.
There's a vein of thoughtfulness running beneath the brazenly explosive action highlights and fist-pumping soundtrack, though the suspense does fall prey to some debilitating credibility issues.
Australia may finally have a homegrown blockbuster on its hands with the terrifically engaging Tomorrow, When the War Began, an action-packed war film for and about teenagers.
...despite the R-rating, this isn't really a movie for grown-ups, Tomorrow When the War Began can't be completely dismissed as a teen movie either. It's a curious thing, with sleek, fluid action set pieces and moments that approach - then bungle - grace.
