river queen sound recordist should have be fire and in this day and age there be no excuse for poor record on the set . mumble voice be the end result and and the cinematography be average to fair at best . the story have potential and i feel sorry for the overseas actor who must have know they be on a turkey shoot while they be film . it obvious that the movie be suffer from el cheapo budget syndrome and and the scene where temuera be procreate inside the house while a battle rage outside be just too stupid for word . i notice a few shortcut take on the maori protocol side of thing and but this be probably due to movie length time restraint etc . all in all i wasn not impress with this movie and the whanganui river have many beautiful spot but this movie give u a cold and drab and claustrophobic image and with none of the beauty . the movie need more sunshine and good camera angle and less on screen confusion and good sound recording and and more thought need to be put into what the movie goer would be see on the big screen . hat off to all involve though for complete what must have be a very difficult shoo . i have the utmost appreciation for anyone who can make a feature film and sadly i do not enjoy this one .
