So much average

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

And when I refer above to "all obstacles," I mean a script that comes across like one of the animals on the island (all of whom are simply adorable) bit a chunk out of it, no one noticed, and they filmed it anyway.Butler, Foster, and Breslin between them generate enough electricity to power Manhattan or, in this case, at least a small island. They keep you glued to the screen in spite of the nonsense.The story contains a brief scene where an overweight Australian boy, along with his parents, is briefly on the island. He not only sees Mim but tracks her down and makes a connection. Seconds later, he has to leave and disappears from the story.The audience feels much the same way by the time the curtain closes. But it was a fun ride while it lasted.

With the premise that the film would not see a second time, I recognize that I liked. On TV there is a well cared-for script: in the sense that, the details that would have weakened interest of the film, was meticulously written. Obviously the story taken from a novel by Wendy Orr: in the context is something unreal, that to get a follow-up and a final in harmony with the three main protagonists. The plot of the film could have been a tragedy. A shipwreck that would have to pass the rest of the life of a father and his daughter as a hermit. [...] However, as it happens in novels, the scientist and his daughter in a surreal way and electronically they have contact of a volcanoes-writer. So they can be saved, and find a new family love.

This movie was much more entertaining than the second part of NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2. The story is well written and the pictures are wonderful. The little girl delivered a very convincing performance and I was very surprised seeing Jody Foster in such a curious role. The animals were lovely but I expected some more exotic ones. There were some funny scenes and that's how family films should be made. At the end my son had even tears in his eyes. NIM'S ISLAND is not a great adventure movie because one of the best is no doubt CAST AWAY with Tom Hanks. Don't miss it. My family rated this film 8/10.
