The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

This was an extremely interesting subject. I live on the west coast of Canada and I had no idea that sand was so vulnerable.We need to make everyone aware of this matter so that we can start to protect the earth from the effects of over mining the sand.

The subject deserves all the attention you can give it.There seems to be a blind spot as to the consequences that depletion of this very valuable material will have on earth. Not to mention the small islands that cannot support life after the affects
