Two Academy members I know went to a screening of 'Australia' tonight in Leicester Square in London, I naturally couldn't wait to hear what they thought. I was surprised to find that one of them actually LEFT the cinema before the film was over because she felt it was so terrible, telling me she has only ever left a film 3 times in her life! The other member said he thought the film was completely disappointing and was just Baz Luhrmann creating a film about his love of Australia without the originality of Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge!

Obviously this is just two opinions but I was surprised at how negative they were.
