pedgarshannon Where to begin? I'll give you two reasons I gave up on this movie half-way through. First of all, it would be nice to see a cast of adults, behaving like adults, working together in the face of mystery and danger to accomplish their mission. But no, here we have our typical 20- somethings, acting like bickering 12-year olds, because that's what passes for "drama" in silly films like this.And, why, oh why, can't producers ensure that at least one member of the crew be a veteran if they are going to depict military personnel? I don't care if it's the grip, the caterer, or even the honey pot driver... if you're going to show Army soldiers in uniform, have SOMEBODY on board who knows how a uniform is worn. In this movie, we have two doofus characters portraying soldiers wearing "Class A" green uniforms. One of them has two rows of ribbons, and various unit citations, indicating significant time on duty. And yet he has no rank. I mean, even a soldier who has just completed basic training is at least a "mosquito wing" Private E-2. His "commanding officer" had Sergeant E-7 stripes displayed. And both of them, for heaven's sake, had no idea how to wear a beret. Anyone who's drunk a bottle of French wine knows that you pull it over to one side, but these goof-balls--- well, one of them had it pulled down tight on his head like a beanie, and his "commanding officer" had his pouffed up in an expanding circle like a big muffin. I gave it all up right there...

Lunasnow2484 Wow.... I don't even know where to begin. My brain is still in a haze as I am still trying to search for answers to this burning question I had as the movie played......WTF AM I WATCHING?! This movie made absolutely no sense! The whole movie was based on the two main characters Ray and Rachael (Rachael Ray??) trying to stop some kind of experiment gone wrong on an island. They portrayed the character of Rachael as some sort of cold blooded bad ass, but she was the first to get F'ed up. As for Ray? Ray, Ray, Ray....... I think he was more lost than me. He was so confused that he didn't even know what he was feeling throughout most of the movie, so he just went with poker face. "I am so sorry I had to lie to you" *poker face" God knows I have paid a heavy priiiiiiccee!!!" *poker face (Rachael gets shot in the head and Ray crouches over her body *poker face) It seemed that whoever was holding up Ray's lines with the flash cards wrote them too small and he was squinting to read the whole time. It was the most horrible acting I have ever seen. At the end, Ray was in a struggle with one of the crew who had betrayed them. Ray dodged some serious bullets by just side stepping. Neo's got nothing on him. Then, I guess he was too busy squinting to read his lines and then he got shot. No worries though because in the next scene, Ray Ray completely forgets that he was shot and just carries on. The only thing good out of this movie was that me and my fiancée got a good laugh out of it. Just watch this as it was meant to be, a comedy.

Jan Strydom I've gone through a trend of low budget movies that were not really bad but they were just not worth recommending, DARK ISLAND was probably the weakest low budget film of them all, it was like having LOST and THE SUPERNATURAL tossed in a blender add to that some really bad acting from virtually every cast member and a pace that goes from slow to slower at times.Aside from the acting the film did have its entertaining moments but out of the previous bunch of films I saw which include ANNHILATION EARTH, QUANTUM APOCAPLYPSE and the game to film adaptation of THE KING OF FIGHTERS, this is the last one I would recommend, its not even a good time passer because it is way too slow for that.

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.
