DVD Review: Nim's Island
Summary: 3 Stars
Very nice family movie....I would recomend this movie for all ages...very funny in parts and great views... DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Except for a few parts, this was a great movie. There were two levels to the story: Nim is literally on an island, and Alex Rover is metaphorically on an island. My only question is where was Alex's life jacket? You'd think being the type she is she would have insisted on wearing one. And how did she manage to row in a monsoon? DVD Review: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie is sooooo boring! I was looking forward to watching it after all of the movie trailers made it look action packed and exciting. It looked like a really cute show. WRONG!!! The movie is boring and lame and all of the actors/actresses do a terrible job. I usually enjoy Jody Foster and the other talents in this movie, but they should have stopped filming while they were ahead and that was in the process of reading the script. Don't waste your money, if you want to see this show, rent it for a dollar or two. It's definitely not worth anything more than that!DVD Review: Wanted more!
Summary: 3 Stars
Sure it was great to see Gerard Butler, but this was just okay. Jodie Foster, to me, wasn't cast properly in this. It's a cute family movie, just rent and skip buying this one!DVD Review: Trailer Say What?
Summary: 1 Stars
Anyone who has seen this Movie needs to go back and watch the trailer. The trailer describes it as an action pack adventure as an Action Writer (Jodie Foster) and a little girl (Abigail Breslin) go in search of her missing father (Gerard Butler). There is no action, no adventure and no SEARCHING. Everyone just ends up together in the last 8 minutes of the movie. Yes, the trailer is good. It's very good. It hooked me out of a $5 rental.
Description of Nim's Island (Widescreen Edition)
Welcome to Nim's Island a tropical paradise where imagination runs wild and adventure rules! Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) Jodie Foster and Gerard Butler shine in this fun "exhilarating and enchanting family picture" (San Francisco Chronicle) based on Wendy Orr's beloved novel.Nim Rusoe (Breslin) lives on a deserted island with her scientist father Jack (Butler) and her best friends: Selkie a sea lion; Fred a bearded dragon lizard; and Galileo a plucky pelican. But when Jack goes missing at sea and the island is "invaded" Nim reaches out via e-mail to the adventurous author (Foster) of her favorite books and together each discovers what it takes to truly become the hero of your own life story.System Requirements:Running Time: 96 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating:?PG UPC:?024543527527 Manufacturer No:?2252752Adventure doesn't always begin with pirates on the high seas or explorers deep in the desert; sometimes it starts with an idyllic life on a private island in the middle of the South Asiatic Sea. For 11-year old Nim (Abigail Breslin) and her father and microbiologist Jack Russo (Gerard Butler), life is perfect thanks to their love of nature, Jack's mechanical ingenuity, and regular deliveries via supply ship. Loneliness is never an issue for Nim because of her special friendships with Selkie the sea lion, Galileo the pelican, and Freddie the iguana and her education is intensive, if rather unique. Adventure and imagination are ways of life for Nim whether she's heading out to sea to help her father collect plankton specimens, playing soccer on the beach with Selkie, or delving into the latest Alex Rover adventure novel, but everything changes when Jack departs on the boat for a two-night expedition to collect plankton specimens and gets caught in an unexpected storm. Alone on the island, Nim begins to worry about her father's safety as well as her own and, through a chance email, connects with Alex Rover (Jodie Foster) whom she begs to come help find her father. Problem is, author Alexandra Rover is an unbalanced big city shut-in who's afraid to leave her townhouse, not the fearless adventure hero portrayed in her books. Nim, Alexandra, and Jack embark upon the adventures of a lifetime in which each must overcome his or her own fears and perceived powerlessness and limitations in order to grow and help one another. The question is; can each prevail against his or her own insecurities and the fury of nature? Based on the novel Nim's Island by Wendy Orr, Nim's Island is first and foremost a captivating adventure full of suspense and peril which also offers a touching look at the love between a father and daughter.
