Roll several Jules Verne novel concepts into a single modern day plot, make it elementary level and G-rated, and you have The Mysterious Island.
The movie is juvenile and ridiculously unbelievable even for a kids fantasy show. The images, like the fake jungle, are pristine, so it’s pretty and colourful to look at, and entertaining on a fairly low level. I would say it’s intended for 3 to 12 year olds.
It’s a 5 and easy to watch. So if you like fantasy films, have low expectations, and want something totally mindless to watch and maybe snooze to, this is up your alley. All that being said, it’s well done for what it is.
