The most underrated movie of modern time? maybe.

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2006)

Not many of my friends have seen this film and disliked it. I had read the book "the Beach" by Alex garland previously and felt that an adaptation to film would be a great idea. the taste for adventure this film leaves is great and the way it portrays morality is brilliant. bringing home to a different part of the world makes most people feel "comfortable" and this film is about taking your chances and risking the unknown. the same reason that intellectual people smoke cigarettes and drink- the choice of not what is always best for you, but what will further you as a human being.
10/10 must see film.
