but I liked it.

I have to agree, Max. I just saw it tonight and was largely impressed with the treatment. Well done! I have to say I'm looking forward to the next. In fact, I found myself sitting there at the end perfectly willing to sit there for at least a good hour more!

And I also have to say, Max, (and CapK) that you should consider yourself blessed to be living (or having lived) in the majestic beauty of New Zealand! I knew it was beautiful there, but I had no idea how spectacular until seeing this film.
