Big Reef (2004 TV Movie) User Reviews

Purely for the tourists

Worth a look for anyone stuck in Memphis with those Mobile Blues again!!! Good looking flesh without Steve Irwin's by crikey...!!! Florida without the drugs, California without the big heads....99% of Aussies have never seen a crocodile and 100% of these actors have bigger teeth. A laidback way to spend half an hour and cheaper than Prozac. The lead actor is worth checking out in the series GP which the Aussie ABC has ruined. Steve Bisley obviously needed a decent paycheck after the demise of Water Rats. This money would be better spent on decent TV series. The TV channel who made this movie destroyed four great TV series over the last three years and continues to ruin both local and imported American shows with continual chopping and changing of programmes so it would be good to see them go broke.

A series pilot that was filmed in Cooktown, but wasn't popular on TV so didn't get ongoing funding

I love this movie as I live in Cooktown and I think had the potential to put us on the map. Lots of locals that were filmed in this movie have either moved on (to another dimension or town) and the newcomers have never seen this film and I think everyone needs to see it again - especially at the last Queen's Birthday we'll be celebrating in June. The next one will be celebrated in October next year :-( I would like to show this pilot at a Film Festival we are holding in June on the Discovery Festival weekend (9-11 June) How can I contact the producers to play this at a not-for profit evening? It's second screening in 8 years! Thanks for your help. Sarah

Big Reef's are under the sea, thats where this movie should stay

Probably the most confusing Movie I've ever seen, at the start of the film it look like the film it looks like the movie is going to be a re-make of Jaws with corc's, but the story takes a couple of different twists changing form a mystery movie to a crime movie, you would have had to watch the film right from the painful beginning to understand it, there's quite a couple of Plot Holes in the script as well that are purposely left unanswered.

The only interesting part of the movie is Madeleine West in a bikini, who emerges from the the water Dr.No style (geez isn't that getting old now!) I think it was a better Idea to go to the video store, and rent some cheap B-grade movie than watch this My advice: only intended for those who like to watch grass grow!
