A+ - A masterwork for all time...

The film is about JESUS. Ignore the haters.This is the beauty of this movie. Every time I see it (and I have seen it a lot) it never fails that I see some subtle nuance that I have never seen before. Considering that the director would put that much meaning into what is basically a throw away moment (not the entire scene, but the Hawaii's queens portion in native Hawaiian) speaks bundles about the quality of the film. My wife and I watched this movie on our first date, and since that first time over 5 years ago, it has grown to be, in my mind, the greatest movie ever made.Will not give away the most emotional scene of sacrifice but seeing is believing. This is a true historical story completely ignored by the Academy, Sundance, and secular film festivals. However so happy it had a theatrical release in over 30 cities from what I understand.

Absolutely underrated masterpiece - does not deserve a '5'

RATING: A+First, the rating is ridiculously too low. These secular teens steal the film online and then vote a '1'. Great young people.I was surprised, how truly good The Islands was. A true historical story about finding Christ in 1821! I enjoyed the whole film and could not find anything I wouldn't like. It looks very rich and detailed. Undoubtedly the history of this island queen forms an incredible true background for the excellent screenplay. Soundtrack is very well done too, and scenes with the queen and the missionaries playing ties their friendship. One of the best things in The Islands is the heartwarming courage the missionaries show. Great acting by John Savage and Mira Sorvino and the Hawaiian cast.10/10. A+ rating.

10/10 - Please SEE IT. Ignore the haters.

The score is too low and the average score is actually above an '8'. This is a 10 in my book.Everything about this movie was powerful and tear-jerking. I recommend seeing this movie with someone especially close to you. After the movie my Fiancée and I spent two hours talking and expanding on the film's incredible historical story and how Christ can change the WORLD. This was truly a electrifying experience. I would venture to call this movie one of the best movies of all time. Sure, there are things that I would have liked to see done differently, but that is what makes a movie more enjoyable. The discussions following this film were wonderful.Please SEE IT. Ignore the haters. They will stand before a real God someday. They crucified Jesus and they're still doing it today.
