Nim's Island (2008)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Touches You

best movie i've ever seen.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I first saw the poster for this film at the mall; around the time when the film came out. I've been wanting to see it since it looked like a fun and fascinating film but I was too afraid to since I hated crying in movies and I noticed that most movies had crying scenes in them. Of course, that was before I fully understood how these sites were recommending stuff; thus, I didn't really care yet I found a better recommendation site called Tastekid that I decided to use because they recommend me most movies that thought were truly interesting. And so, I started watching movies again; even if I became a huge fan of movies in 2009 but still a little afraid. And then I stopped being a fan again in 2010.I saw a little bit of this movie on television a few years it came out and was disappointed by it. I couldn't keep my eyes on it and so, I ignored it. My experience of the movie back then was that it wasn't what I expected from seeing the poster. IT ACTUALLY FOOLS YOU INTO THINKING THAT THE MOVIE IS GOING TO BE THAT GOOD BUT REALLY, IT ISN'T! THOUGH, IT STILL COULD'VE BEEN A LOT BETTER!I watched some of this movie again last night since I really wanted to see it even if I was disappointed since it looked quite interesting but I also wanted to see if the movie would be able to HIT THE SPOT! But it didn't.In the beginning, it has Nim narrating the story. Nim is a spirited little girl who inhabits an isolated island with her father, who's a scientist and communicates with a reclusive author of the novel she's reading. So THIS is what the film's about! Still kind of disappointing... Nim sobs when she couldn't find her father. I was expecting the film to be a lot more fascinating and I still wasn't all that engaged by it! I finished the rest of the film today; I was right, it was a big let-down. But still a mediocre film. PictureWell, although the part Nim climbs down the boulder was where the film was at its best and that it was what I expected until a tad after and so on.The film got a tad better when Nim had scared everyone away on the island. But it still kind of ruined the film, mostly the hula dancing. During the middle, the film got fun and fascinating which was quite cool yet disappointing at the same time! Since it seemed like the director was slightly referencing IT TAKES TWO (1995)! Nim is all alone and it frustrates people. When Nim tries to find her father, then she calls him Jack? Huh? What kind of little girl is this? She's probably too old for this. Come on, man, you can tell the walrus "father" or something, I'm sure he'll still understand! And then we have a scene where Alexandra covers her face because she's deathly afraid of a firefly? So a few excessively weird scenes with a slightly eccentric child and a slightly cowardly woman.All in all, this film is a tad too annoying, too funny, too fun, too suspenseful/serious, and fascinating. The music was too dramatic which was of course due to the film. The actors, compared to the poster were a pretty bad pick, though they all did well. So basically, everything about the film was foolish yet mediocre. So I give it a 6.1.

It was an interesting movie. I liked the idea. But there were a few problems with it.It seemed a bit too rushed. I didn't feel connected to the characters like I should have. The writer who was anti-social was pushing it with the stereotype. The father wasn't seen as much.I notice that the girl rejects the writer instantly, yet seconds later she becomes the next friend for the writer. Then suddenly while crying for her Father, her father magically appears in the sea, non-coincidentally.Other than that, I did think the movie had potential, but started to fall after an hour.At least there wasn't any bad sex scenes.

Wow I really hated this movie, it was just very predictable and boring all the way through. The only reason I saw this movie is because I wanted to kill sometime on the plane and this movie was available on screen and still regret seeing it. I give it some credit though since it's a movie young girls might like or few girls who are teens that still like movies like this. Maybe I really disliked it because it had Jodie Foster in it or something, but I really wanted this movie to end just few minutes into it. Now I sometimes like watching movies for that are for younger audiences but this isn't one of them I could appreciate. For anyone looking for a movie for younger audiences or family film might want to look elsewhere. I can see how it just might have it's target audiences but it's mostly a dull and boring movie with a very predictable direction.3.8/10

Forget the bad comments, this movie is simply awesome, according to me. Fascinating, and keeps you hooked, and absolutely no violence. Great family movie, and great acting by Nim and Alexandra. Wonderful cinematography and cool locations. Just watch it. I always love movies with islands and lots of ocean stuff. The story is well planned, and the locations are very very cool.This movie is worth watching for those people who love island and water movies. The kid Nim captures the audience attention, and Jodie Foster makes a wonderful performance.Over and all, a great family movie.
