MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

jdollak The positive traits of this movie are largely technical. The sound is clear. The lighting is actually sort of pleasing, since they don't rely on shadow for tension. And the picture is entirely focused well. The pacing is perfectly fine. Despite the weaknesses of the movie, I rarely felt too distracted, and the story moved right along.But those things said, this movie feels sort of like a restrained Uwe Boll movie. The plot is pretty straightforward, but there are reversals on reversals as the story moves further.The enemy the team is facing seems to be the same black cloud that appeared in The House on Haunted Hill. But this time, they can fight it with fire extinguisher guns!The plot doesn't bother me too much though, it just felt like an adaptation of a video game.But what does play badly in this movie is that the cast is inadequate for the silliness of the script. By this I mean, the cast is probably just fine. But the script has so much comic-book dialogue that it's hard to play those lines and come across genuine. As a result, there are a lot of people who sound like they're acting as hard as they can.

Prophet87 I wasn't really expecting much from this movie and I was right not to.The plot has been used a million times before and as for the acting it was more wooden than the trees on the island.I saw no true chemistry between the actors and felt no emotion for any of the characters.In a nutshell this movie has an overused plot, poor acting and a cheesy script. I've seen some pretty poor movies in my time and this is up there with the worst of them to be honest.That's about all I have to say on this one.

Paul Magne Haakonsen This movie surprised me. I thought I was in for a bore-fest, but it actually turned out to be quite nice.The story was not without flaws, but it was good enough to keep me interested, and had a fairly good, steady flow to it. There were times when the movie was halting though.The effects in "Dark Island" were also quite nice. Especially the CGIs for the animated black cloud. It looked really good, and moved in a very believable way. The make-up effects were good as well.As for the cast, well I was not familiar with any of the ones in the movie, but most of them did a good job, despite often having halting dialogue to work with.There weren't any scary moments or thrills throughout the movie, which kind of dragged the overall experience down a notch.

Yogi When the movie started, I kinda got a feeling like it's a bit of a remake of Ghost Ship, but 15 minutes later I had to change my mind about it... it kinda took the elements of the series Lost. Maybe the writers thought that if they took the elements from a hugely successful story, that they couldn't go wrong. Well... they were wrong, BIG TIME! People changing into a black killer smoke and for some reason they have to get off the island?! People trapped on the island and of course no way to get off of it? Doesn't it sound like Lost? Well... if you haven't seen lost, go buy the DVD pack instead of wasting your money on this movie. At least you'll enjoy hours watching a good story, instead of this screw up.
