BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

leethomas-11621 Plot loses its way. Underdeveloped. Two male leads do a good job with a less than compelling script. (I only watched this because I thought it was the movie with the same name from 2013 starring Beau Bridges but I was wrong!)

omendata Started off reasonably well although I think the airplane crash scene could have been longer and more interesting.Up until the point they find the Japanese soldier all was proceeding well, then it all just went to pot. Lord of the Flies this most definitely isnt!The illogical actions that no one would do if abandoned on a desert island in the middle of nowhere and the poor story just weakened the whole premise and the ending well....SANDS OF THE KALAHARI - I guess the director had just watched that classic and thought he would throw that ending in lolCould have been good but like most of the films I am watching over the last few years, they just dont seem to have decent story writers and cannot sustain the pace that a good film needs to keep audiences involved.

mgk This movie was worse than worse. It was so terrible that my brother and I were sitting laughing/crying over how painfully bad it was.The plot was absolute NONSENSE!! It made NO sense whatsoever! I can't even count all the plot holes. The characters were odd and you didn't really get an introduction to them and therefor had no emotional connection to them. Frankly, I didn't even care if some of them died. The worst thing about the movie was that the characters didn't have any good motives for their actions - they just did crazy sh*t for NO REASON! And I know that they were stranded on an island and under a lot of stress, but it made NO SENSE.DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! I repeat, DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!

diangel55 This review is not so much a spoiler, but it points out just how awful people can be to each other when under pressure. It really did remind me of Lord of the Flies in many ways because things went tits up quick, fast, and in a hurry. Considering the events took place over a little more than ten days, the characters didn't take long to show their true colors and true hearts. I was surprised that the island they were on had very little edible vegetation or natural water sources. I was also surprised that there were no organized search parties to explore the island to see what resources were potentially available to the group. I found the movie predictable, but entertaining. I didn't learn any life lessons or was left with a "feel good" feeling, but it did keep me interested for the duration.
