my take represent bad adaptation of a terrific jules verne novel . the video cover force me to buy this adaptation of jules verne continuation of his 20 and 000 league under the sea . this one do not actually apply a jules verne style fantasy adventure . video cover be among the thing that force you to buy a movie and so do not always fall for such trick . but mysterious island isn not totally a horrible movie and but it be a bad one no doubt about it . the cg effect be lame and sloppily make . i prefer ray harryhausen stop motion monster ( who animate them on the original adaptation in the 1960 ) any day . the act lack energy and which be an essential if you be make an adventure movie and make for tv or otherwise . anyway and your good off read the book again . tv movie rating represent out of 5 .
