The movie which takes place near Jamaica in The Caribbean follows Davis as she fights off her crew, her villainous uncle and the British navy in a quest to find a long lost treasure hidden by one of her ancestors.  Although the movie has some pretty good special effects, and the islands are beautiful, the dialogue is terrible and the plot doesn’t always make sense. That being said, Cutthroat Island makes for some great Sunday afternoon island entertainment.

From the time of your arrival to the time of your departure luxury and relaxation are your only concern. Traditional spa therapies are provided by skilled Maori professionals.

The movie stars Tom Hanks who plays Chuck Noland, a FedEx employee whose personal and professional life are ruled by the clock. His fast paced life comes to an abrupt end when, after a plane crash, he becomes isolated on a remote island. Alone on the island he  must meet the basic needs of survival, including water, food and shelter. After four years, and a dramatic climax Chuck is successful in leaving the island and is eventually rescued.

The movie is amazing because it does an excellent job of capturing what it can be like to be on a Private Island. From the sounds to the over whelming feeling of isolation, the film allows its viewers to feel what it must be like to be alone on a private island.

 Today, Nim’s Island opens in theatres. An action packed, family friendly movie, set primarily on a remote private island, the film stars Jodie Foster, Gerard Butler and 11-year-old Abigail Breslin. 

Based on the popular book by Wendy Orr, Foster portrays Alexandra Rover, a bestselling author who is also agoraphobic. The film is set in a deserted tropical paradise that is home to Nim (Breslin), her father (Butler) and some friends, Selkie the sea lion, Fred the bearded dragon and a pelican named Galileo. The film, directed by husband-and-wife team Mark Levin and Jennifer Flackett, was actually filmed on the sandy beaches of Australia’s Gold Coast and in the lush rain forests of Hinchinbrook Island, a nature preserve with vast strips of white sand beaches and a vast mountain that looks like a volcano.
