invisibleunicornninja I actually liked the movie better than the book. That doesn't mean its any good. I guess there is some enjoyment to be had here, but overall this movie is pretty forgettable.

Prismark10 Nim (Abigail Breslin) is an eleven year old girl living in an island with her marine biologist father (Gerard Butler.)Nim's Island is a magical place ruled by her imagination with a pelican Galileo, lizard Fred, and Selke the sea lion.Her father leaves her alone in the island as he goes of to some research and gets lost at sea. Nim contacts writer Alexandra Rover (Jodie Foster) author of the Alex Rover adventure novels (also played by Gerard Butler) who is an agoraphobic, germaphobe recluse who has not left her house for years and must travel to this remote island to save Nim from impending buccaneers while having pep talks with the imaginary Alex Rover.Nim's Island is a strange film. Kids will enjoy the cute animals, low tech animation and adventures in a far away island. Adults might like the kooky humour but it really is a mixed bag. The main characters are apart for most of the film. It is strange to see Jodie Foster in something light and frothy although she does look uncomfortable in playing such a reclusive character being spurred on to breakout by the fictional Alex.

pinkarray 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.

ebru-genc96 I liked the film when I saw in trailer.I have watched the film and it was really excited.I always like watching adventure movies and I like that movie too.The topic of this film is easy but it exciting.Island which in the film was very authentic.I think the part of movie which is taken under the water is the best of part of it.The actors and actress definitely choose well done.Gerard Butler has chanced the air movie.If you have got free times you can watch it.I hope this film will made second.
