Great action and special effects, but suffered in acting and storyline.

Rating: 6/10 (15 March 2017)

The film unfortunately did not reach my expectations - having seen the adverts, which looked promising. I felt from the very beginning the movie was a bit pacey and progressed too fast into the adventure and exploration of the island. There were some parts that were intriguing, especially the special effects, leading into the arrival into the island.
However, the film did massively lack in acting, script and general sense of story line. I felt the acting wasn't convincing, and lacked emotion, and did not evoke much emotion within me. The only thing I felt the film had going for it was the incredible special effects, which is why I gave this film a 6 star rating. There were some really great scenes of action, shock and surprise.
I believe this film is worth watching, but I wouldn't consider it a personal favourite. Definitely worth a watch though!
