Mysterious Island

This film has it all...bad writing, bad direction, bad acting, some of the worst CGI ever and an ending that basically was the director yelling, "CUT, we're out of time".

I don't know why everyone's being so hard on the script and actors for this movie. They're not that bad; it's just that they're so obviously hamstrung by the film's very limited budget. The movie looks as if it was shot on home video equipment (especially the night scenes) and the sound is pretty poor, too, in places.

The most egregious offense of this production is probably the costumes. A couple of the characters who are supposed to be Civil War soldiers are wearing what are clearly synthetic thermal undershirts that weren't seen on Earth before about 1980. Let alone 1880.

Do yourself a favor and rent the 1960s version.

As I watched this amazingly stupid movie, and may I add, shame on me for watching it through the end, I noticed, when they where inside the house...there were candles every where...however if you look closely you'll notice light switches in every room, thermostat in one room. This movie was simply put "AWFUL"

Makes not so thinly veiled references to the TV show LOST. It does so because it cannot stand on as a movie. It is like a high school play written by a child who only read the CliffsNotes. The 1961 version is better.

I had some expectation why I wanted to watch this film. I had no information about it, except a line that this film is based on J. Verne's book. It started like a normal remake but turned to a surreal vision of a hurt brain about something. After ten minutes it was obvious that the original story and author has only a very loose connection to this film. The story does not worth more. The actors are forming unrealistic characters. It seems that they did their job only for the money without any efforts to play characters -if there is any at all. The director seems not to have minimal assumption about the story had to be filmed. In summary: Primitive story, no connection to the original book. The creators have stolen only a couple of names from J. Verne. Category "Z" actors, but is true that their level of play is comparable with the whole film. It is very difficult to understand who was able to give money for this. Waste of time even a minute. One star what I gave is exactly one star more than it worth, but there is no option for zero.
