Big Sky

An interesting plot but not enough thriller action until the very end.Thorne did pretty well at playing the part of an 18 year old girl, Hazel, with agoraphobia (fear of things that might cause panic or embarrassment -- in Hazel's case, the outside world). The beginning of the movie starts out with Hazel being transported to a treatment facility when their transport vehicle is ambushed in the desert. Hazel must overcome her fear of the outside world long enough to find help.The concept was interesting -- what would it take for you to overcome a certain fear(s) and fight for your survival? Could you overcome a major psychological disorder long enough to do so? In that aspect, Big Sky had an empowering vibe. There was the right amount of push and pull in the struggle without abandoning the concept of agoraphobia all together.Beyond that, it was hard to really get into Big Sky. The scenes felt choppy. What was meant to show flashbacks and happenings at two different scenes at the same time, came off as disjointed many times. I was easily distracted, which isn't a 5 star mark for a film. It also left a lot of questions unanswered. Why were they ambushed? That was the whole point of the story and all I found out in the end was not to trust 90% of the people you happen across in a desert. And I'm still confused about the exact trigger of Hazel's agoraphobia. My understanding is that it was the outside world in general. Her flashbacks didn't help to identify it.There wasn't a whole lot of suspense. Much of the thrills came in the last 20 minutes.

harrowing. I dont think Hazel will be needing any more treatment for her agoraphobia now. I'm amazed the mom (Sedgewick) lived with a gunshot would to the gut but I also hope the man from Ft. whatever did as well. I was yelling and screaming do this, do that the whole time lol. Highly recommend.

At first the girl was believable but later the acting became a little overdone; and what was with her looking like she'd just applied cherry lipgloss when she's been walking in the hot sun desert all day; so made up. Otherwise not a terrible plot.

Very pleased

Watch Big Sky for the short but wildly entertaining piece from Francois Arnaud.

What a waste of time this movie is. Watching spiders hatch is more exciting than this movie, and I HATE spiders!

I am turning this off after 1:15 minutes of such boring, tedious, nonsense of turtle moving, bad directing, a one handed script writer. make be feel good by not watching this flat movie and let me feel I helped save part of your life. thank you

A good cast pretty much wasted on a rambling, nonsensical story. Photography is lovely, and the most beautiful scenery in the entire work is a shirtless Francois Arnaud wearing low-slung, tight jeans in an all-too-brief time onscreen. I give the film 3 stars, but if Francois had had a larger role, I'd have given it 5, because he is the only reason I bought and watched this movie, and goddam, he was worth it.
