Death With Beautiful Backdrop

The scenery and photography in CANOPY is breathtakingly gorgeous. I especially liked allowing the cameras to dwell on shots of; e.g., muddy streams, for thirty seconds or more. Such may not be for everyone but for me it created the intensity of our protagonist's fear, as he dwells on the the dangers before him, pausing to see if anything moves. Also done to excellent effect are the shots of the actors taken from great distances. These have the effect of showing how the teeming jungle plays with perspective as its impossible to guess whether you are looking from 50 feet away or 500 feet away until you see the actors themselves. Alas, more and/or better drama could have been achieved plot-wise while still avoiding Hollywood cliché. But CANOPY is indeed a treat for the eyes and I recommend a watch.

Great cinematography and intriguing plot set up but lacking in substance

Singapore, February 1942. An Australian fighter pilot is shot down over the jungle and must find his way back to Allied lines, through Japanese-held territory.

The basic plot is what made me watch this: the survival theme set in war time is intriguing. Initial set up is good too.

Moreover, from the beginning the striking feature of the movie is the scenery and cinematography. Is very well done, with lush junglescapes and the stillness and peacefulness of nature contrasting with the violent war and life-or-death struggle the airman is engaged in. It reminded me a lot of the cinematography in Terrence Malick's 'The Thin Red Line'.

However, after the intriguing set up there is really very little in the way of plot development or substance. A human/relationship drama is introduced but it is not developed to much of an extent. The middle 60% or so of the movie involves far more style than substance, with the scenery largely replacing plot development.

Conclusion is fairly good and has an emotional element, but even that is underplayed.

Ultimately, okay, but could have been much better. Fairly disappointing.

Not for me

I read the reviews before watching this movie so I was already a bit prepared of what I was going to see. I read there was not much dialogs and to me for a good movie sometimes it's not even necessary. But in this movie there is almost no conversation at all. The only line the main character had to remember is his name. He said it twice and that's it. I don't say Khan Chittenden failed as an actor because his expressions of fear and anguish are good but since there are two actors I thought a little bit of conversation would have done good to the movie. So the movie will just be liked by people that like jungle scenery. Nature is the only thing that keeps the movie interesting but then I wonder if I was not better going on a walk in the forest instead of watching this movie.
