The imagery and landscape captured is quite stunning. This alone is worth seeing the movie. Though don't expect a great story. I felt the potential slip by looking at what could have been a period piece of great significance. The battle scenes were done well as were the insights into the Maori culture (at least to a Pakeha). Though the actors were certainly capable (Keifer Sutherland is just there to draw in an audience as his screen time is limited) I found the story line disjointed and lacking clarity. As much as I wanted to emotionally immerse myself in the river I didn't know where to jump.
