Shallow, predictable and one-dimensional

Rating: 1/10 (2 August 2017)

We begin with the premise of an island nobody has charted because it is in the middle of a big storm that never ends. Really? Yet they manage to fly a dozen helicopters safely through the storm. Really? Those are clues about what's to come. The characters are one dimensional stereotypes despite the intervention of John Goodman and Samuel L. Jackson. The romance is flat and insipid. There is very little suspense or subtlety. It really feels like it was a movie created by committee and focus groups targeted at the lowest common denominator. You can argue that it is a kid's movie, but it is pretty graphic and violent for a kid's movie.
