The Islands

Wow, I haven't reviewed a film since 2013 which was 'The Chronicles of Narnia', but this movie is far better.

The filmmakers have created a masterpiece here. Not only this, the messages put to the viewer about strength of faith and staying true to what a person believes in make this a fantastic piece of film.

If you're not the kind of person who enjoys 'The English Patient', you're not likely to enjoy the movie, "The Islands." It's a meditative, contemplative film, not made to appeal to the masses. You're meant to leave the theatre asking questions of yourself, not having any answer given to you. It is at once beautiful, horrible, spiritual, and pragmatic. The actors all turn in stellar performances, often without saying much. If you love hard-core faith in Christ, "The Islands" will intrigue you. If you prefer fast-paced, chatty, action, ear-splitting movies with hammers, shields, and iron man suits, spend your money on something else.
