Movie Reviews of Fortress
Movie Review: Very good and suspenseful
Summary: 5 Stars
I was one of the people who saw this movie back on HBO in the 1980s and I was very thankful that I video recorded it as well onto my VHS tape, so I can watch it any time.
This movie also scared the heck out of me too when I was younger. The music is very creepy, especially right before the gunmen come out into play and the looks of horror and shock on the childrens' faces in that classroom are something you will never forget.
Sean Garlick and Rebecca Rigg (I think was her name) were the eldest children out of the group. Their performances were very good.
I really thought it was ingenious how they did get out of the cave too. That was very ingenious. I also loved seeing the Kangaroos too. They were so beautiful!
I, too, agree how they used their school supplies was quite neat and interesting. I really did think it was a good movie.
One scene I will never forget though was when one of the gunmen (Dabby Duck) got his. That was terrifying.
Something that puzzled me was the fact that the second oldest boy (the heavier one) is credited with two names in the credits... so I am unsure which exact character he played. Didn't make sense to me back then and really doesn't make sense to me now that I am older.
Something interesting to notice though when you watch the video... at the end of the movie in the classroom where she is looking at the jar (not going to give anymore specifics) when the cave starts to form, it forms the shape of a heart. Really cool graphics on that one I might add. You have to really pay attention to notice it.
Yes, it does teach the kids revenge. However, after all the trauma that they went through, it was their only way to survive if they wanted to come out alive.
I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone. Sean has done tremendous things with his life since the movie back in the 80s. He's around my age and he still looks great!
As far as the other actors, besides Rachel, I have no idea what they have done with their lives over the years.
Great movie - 5 star review from me. Makes me want to go and put it into the VHS player right now actually. LOL!
