A Peek at Nim’s Island
Another good family movie is Nim’s Island. It is about the story of Nim and her father, a research scientist, who lives in a remote island. Nim is a nature lover and enjoys reading the tales of an adventurer named Alex Rover. Its author is Alexandra Rover, an agoraphobic who hasn’t left her apartment in a very long time. When Nim’s father gets lost in the sea, Nim sought out the help of Alexandra Rover and this is where their adventure began.
Since it is a family movie, the movie is a bit predictable. There are also plot elements which go nowhere like the huge talk about Nim’s mother in the beginning of the movie. Nevertheless, it still is great as it has the prefect recipe of comedy, suspense, drama and even a touch of romance. The scenery is lovely and the special effects are spectacular. With a big name cast like Jodie Foster and Gerard Butler, good acting is expected from this movie. Child actress Abigail Breslin as Nim also shined in this movie.
