The Islands is one of the most beautifully-shot films I have ever seen. I lost count of how many scenes I sat there in utter amazement, which is undoubtedly due to the brilliant directing and spectacular cinematography: there's no shaky-cam, no quick-cut editing, and a lot of incredibly complex shots which appear to have been completed in a single take. Acting is marvellous, everybody showing great commitment. Imagine all these actors speaking Hawaiian. I understand they had Hawaiian translators on set. Incredible commitment. 10 out of 10
