It's for those artistic people who feel themselves different and think empty wall is art. Photography exhibition is not cinema. Good cinematography is an add-on. You should write, act and most importantly you need some motions.* Casting, Acting : 4 * Script : 2 * Directing, Aura : 7 * Ease of Viewing : 2 * Naked Eye : 4

I can't say anything bad about the quality of the film, I just didn't connect with the events portrayed.

"Out of the Blue" is a true story about a crazed gunman's shooting rampage through an isolated New Zealand village. I think the ultimate goal of its producer is to accurately chronologize the spree and honor those who died. The film effectively does this; it seems very real. However, in not embellishing the story a bit, it seems as if the events are stretched to accommodate appropriate "run time". Blue could have been much more exciting had it not struggled to remain true to the story.

A harrowing dramatisation of the Aramoana massacre which obviously lead to the tightening of gun control in New Zealand. It's ridiculous to think that a couple such massacres happen each year in the US and they just ignore the problem!
