- Sensibility: Complete and utter nonsense throughout. Moments of particularly bad sensibility are a forced feeding, a mispelled distress signal, a poisoning, a raft, a burial, and girl-boss ending.
- Cinematography: Has little to no visual merit at all. It has some of the worst CGI I've ever seen and very poor, tacky production design. If that wasn't bad enough, the ending shot of the film is such a brutal cliche that its groan-worthy.
- Energy: The predictability of the film leads to some boredom, but gore and regular action keeps things somewhat interesting.
- Narrative: The story is painfully predictable. A few surprise twists and turns keep things interesting, but don't have any spiritual, or other, significance to give the film any meaning or lasting value.
The film has almost no significant emotional content and instead is filled with nonsense gore and simpleton humor. The brief attempts to give the characters a background or personality are abruptly interrupted by
loathesome antics that lower the stakes and destroy what could have made the narrative unique or interesting.
- T-Points: The film received one bonus point for the running gag of making Rachel McAdam's character hotter the longer she was on the island.
Worst film I've seen this year, and it would be hard for me to find many other films of the thousands I've seen that are worse. It's rare that film can be such a crude mixture of ugliness in both narrative and cinematography. Few films
have little to no artistic merit or narrative merit, but this film tries hard to achieve both.
