Bermuda Island

A minute in, and you can't hear the dialogue because there is a beat in the background on loop. Fantastic sign. You increase the volume to hear the actor's mumbling. BAMM. A shootout and the sound effects are 500% louder than the dialogue. Fantastic. The title starts with music. Some sort of exposition is given through fake news reports. Can't hear it because of the music.

What I'm trying to say is that releasing films where the sound mixing was obviously done by a deaf person is an insult to your audience. I'm not asking for perfection, just basic competence.

Even a character exclaims "You've got to speak up!" at one point.

Okay, fine, the sound sucks. This is a movie called "Bermuda Island," what did I expect?

Tom Sizemore is in this. It's one of the 70 films he shot the last year before his death, and he looks rough. Like real rough. The other actors are unknown to me and for good reason. They play a motley crew that end up stranded on an island when their plane crashes.

Plot-twist, the island is inhabited by some kind of humanoid monster men, but are the real monsters or are the humans invading their island the real monsters? Yes, the monsters are the real monsters.

The island might be in the Bermuda triangle. The movie title suggests it, but I couldn't hear enough of dialogue to confirm it. It's amazingly bad and not in a fun way.

WARNING: NO SPOILERS ADDED AND THE WHOLE REVIEW TURNED OUT BETTER THAN THE MOVIE!

I truly don't even know how to rate this. I almost think they held a contest to see which writer could leave the most plot holes with a separate contest for the most predictable plot twists. I do not believe there was a director, just cameramen yelling action/cut and everyone picking their favorite part to add to the movie. As for the actors and actresses, I believe they may have had to pay for their parts in the movie. I can't believe anyone would pay for that dedicated quality.

I guess I am just too picky. Others actually gave this movie great ratings. I am trying to find one of those that was honest.

I had to PAY to watch this rubbish!

Normally I trust IMDB ratings but not again. I've seen better films rated 4.3! This most assuredly is NOT a film deserving of a 7 rating.

7 ratings are normally for high budget films with decent or good actors, not this lineup of amateurs.

Poor dialogue and acting, campy crappy special effects and WTH happened to Tome Sizemore?? He's definitely a few sizes more than he used to be and his "acting" is worse than a 5th grade school play.

The airport and plane scenes were almost amusing but the film is laughable, if you could actually find anything funny about this film, it would be the rave teviews.

Sorry...don't waste your time or $ on this one.

My experience with Bermuda Island left me somewhat perplexed. Let me be clear, it's evident from the outset that this is a production constrained by a modest budget. The performances are lackluster, the characters lack depth, and the storyline feels somewhat disorganized.

Regrettably, Tom Sizemore's presence in the film is fleeting, and his role appears disconnected from the main plot, seemingly interchangeable with any actor, which was disappointing, considering he's the lone renowned actor in the cast.

On a more positive note, the classic-style monsters featured in the movie pleasantly surprised me. While not of top-tier quality, the monster costumes were surprisingly passable, especially given the constraints of a small budget production like this.

Furthermore, the film's conclusion held an element of unpredictability, adding a layer of intrigue. While it didn't personally resonate with me, it undeniably introduced a plot twist. In my assessment, Bermuda Island comfortably fits within the 3-4 star range; I've certainly seen worse films.

This film is the worst I've ever seen in my life. The story, the plot, the cinematography, and the acting all indicate a director and writer with psychological issues. I've now confirmed that I won't watch any film unless it stars a respected actor who doesn't accept any scenario just for a handful of dirty dollars.
