Oh my, this movie might be the laugh-out-loud- so bad it's good comedy of the year, if it didn't overly explain every single thing that happens on screen. The ending is stupid and the twist doesn't make sense, even with the gratuitous exposition. You can see the scares coming from a mile away. This was not good at all.… Expand

For me, my fantasy would be to have sat through another movie. A few good leads and character interactions that quickly dissolve as everyone is set on their journey on their own. The fantasies also very predictably start to go awry as we have a monkey's paw-style dream come true for all our protagonists. Filled with minimal humor, lack of plot, and plenty of twists you don't see coming but don't really care for once they are out. It's not a good movie and it never gets quite into "so bad it's good" territory either. Just a forgettable mess of a film that had the right idea and premise only to fall to sub par writing and direction.… Expand

Best way i could describe my experience was boring. Jump scares were laughable and pretty quiet. Twists weren't shocking and felt unnecessary. One funny moment. I don't believe its a terrible movie but definitely wouldn't recommend it.

The hybrid genre that is Horror + Comedy is potentially one of the harder genres to achieve, but trust me when I say this is one of the worst ones. Between the terrible script that made me cringe in my seat (thank the lord that I had an empty cinema) and the extraordinarily confusing camera angles that continuously broke the 180 degree rule, the film was a disaster. I could deliver a full review, but trust me when I say its not worth the time. The only reviving item of this film was the Mise-En-Scene and how they were able to replicate the original set of the island's main house. Unfortunately, it's not enough to bring this score to over a 1.… Expand

Honestly, this was actually a pretty solid movie. A bit of a long watch but its what you expect from the Blumhouse movie. This one more so than the other had good character development. The only thing wrong was the pace.

There’s nothing wrong with turning your brain off and enjoying a dumb movie, but to get any enjoyment out of Fantasy Island, you’d have to remove your brain completely. Until the technology exists, don’t waste your time on this hot mess.

A Horror-Comedy that is neither funny nor scary. Fantasy Island is a low-end Blumhouse cash grab meant to deliver profit against a small budget (7 million). Bad writing, bad casting, hollow acting.

It was fine. Entertaining even. The cast is solid and while the premiss gets lost in the slippery plot, it sticks to their mythos and features some perfectly fine twists as to what is going on. The big reveal was what brought the movie down for me personally, but I thought that it fit well with the narrative that they had designed for the back story. I will say though that they also borrowed heavily from the TV series "Lost." Right down to the casting of someone who I thought for a second was a digitally de-aged Matthew Fox at the first shot he was in. All in all if you like lite-horror and can handle a slight grade above a B movie then this should be an okay watch. Fun even with the scenes with Dax and Jimmy. If you read the reviews and expect anything more than what the title of the movie is then, you are not going to enjoy it.… Expand

I know making aFantasy Island, based on the 70's TV show, takes the concept of the original, an island where your dreams come true, and adds a dark twist to the proceedings as a group of visitors find their dreams becoming nightmares. I know making a different genre out of a show whose star has faded may seem like an odd choice, but they did make two successful comedies based on 21 Jump Street. Plus the nice thing about working with a property that the newer generation was never familiar with is that you get leeway with creative changes. (Note to self: work on script for Petticoat Junction political thriller.) I don't think this is perfect, but it is an interesting watch.

This actually honors the feel of the original far more than the commercials made me thought it was going to. A good part of the beginning and middle is looking at the characters' fantasies before anything goes crazy. (This PG-13 film is kind of more a dark fantasy than full horror.) All the characters have their personal conflicts and lessons. Each fantasy is distinct and I found them all rather interesting. There were a lot more twist and turns than I'd anticipated.

Though there was a lot I liked about this, it could've been better. It's one of those cases where the director/writers had good ideas and came from a positive place but couldn't reach their full potential. The dialogue is often basic or just weak. The actors aren't able to do much with it. We're talking about a cast with experience too, not a bunch of newbies. Pretty Little Liars' Lucy Hale particularly fumbles and Michael Pena as Mr. Roarke, the one running the island, is hit-and-miss.

A lot of people are downright hating this movie. I think that's bit much. Personally, I think it'so-so at worst. I think it's worth your risk seeing it at some point. It feels a little different than most films.… Expand

I don't think the movie was as bad as many have said, but is something I would have expected as a TV movie. Mr Roarke was OK, but under-whelming. This low-cost movie doesn't seem to add anything to this franchise.

It's really full of a lot of genres and crazy moments, albeit some slightly forced and last-minute plot twists, but it also gave me some serious 'The Cabin in the Woods' vibes while watching it! Overall, it's just a dumb fun movie to sit back and relax to! Never mind that it's a ridiculous attempt at a reboot of a classic TV series and you might enjoy it.… Expand

Sinopsis:

El enigmático Sr. Roarke hace realidad los sueños de los afortunados huéspedes que acuden a su lujoso y remoto resort tropical. Sin embargo, sus fantasías se convertirán en pesadillas, y los invitados deberán resolver el misterio que oculta la isla para poder escapar con vida.

Opinión:

La trama es interesante, tiene relativos momentos de entretención, pero el guión es un verdadero desastre, cuyo desarrollo no tiene pies ni cabeza, al principio todo marcha bien, hasta que los personajes comienzan a volver realidad sus fantasías y es aquí donde todo empieza a salir mal, cada situación a nivel individual es demasiado inverosímil y tirada de los cabellos tanto que deja de ser divertido, hasta los personajes son desastrosos.

NO LA RECOMIENDO.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel like this movie is a little unfairly reviewed. Yes it’s a remake, yes it’s got that remake kind of “ugh” factor, but it was a fun watch, overall, and I’m glad I saw it. It’s got some fun Easter eggs that you might enjoy if you were a fan of the original (Tattoo). It’s also got some incredibly convoluted story lines and some characters that are really poorly fleshed out. The story really pulls you in a lot of different directions at once. HOWEVER. At the end of it, my mother and I both were glad we watched it and felt that the moments that were supposed to tug on your heart strings really worked. If you don't like films with a lot of convoluted subplots eventually tying together in to one EXTREMELY convoluted plot in the end, then this may not be for you, but if you’re a fan of many genres at once with a lot of thriller elements, I’d recommend it.… Expand

Unfortunately Fantasy Island drops the ball on just about everything it sets out to be. The movie is supposed to be a horror movie and it isn't scary or even gory, or at least even has any lasting imagery. The characters are all unlikable and never have any more depth to them besides their one piece of the backstory they are given. The major thing I cannot forgive is this movie sets up rules to the island and they break their own rules. The ending of the movie makes so little sense and breaks the rules the movie says and it basically just gives us this **** sandwich. Talking about that ending the lack of balls this movie has is outstanding. It can't even keeps characters gone basically no one is ever in any real danger apparently and the twist is so stupid for an end of third act reveal that you are left with a "wait what" feeling. They could've made that ending work if it didn't come out of left field. Unfortunately this movie isn't the bad good style of horror movie it is just a bad movie.… Expand

Fantasy Island is a horror adaptation/perversion of the old TV show from the 70's. The movie stars a cast of charactersDE PLANE, DE PLANE! I mean Stream to Big Screen strikes again. This weekend we were able to view Fantasy Island, as well. Fantasy Island is a horror adaptation/perversion of the old TV show from the 70's. The movie stars a cast of characters headlined by Lucy Hale, Michael Pena and Maggie Q. But should people go to the theater to view this movie?

Let's start with the easiest way to describe this movie, which is if Shutter Island had a baby with Inception and one of the grandparents was Fantasy Island the TV show. If you've seen those two movies before, WHICH I STRONGLY RECOMMEND DOING IF YOU HAVEN'T, then you know just how deceptive, convoluted, and involved this movie is trying to be. Now, that description could be a compliment but in this situation, it is not. Fantasy Island does not measure up to either movie yet it essentially steals elements of both. Even though it is billed as a horror film, the viewer is deceived because Fantasy Island falls more into the Shutter Island psychological thriller realm than pure horror. The other elements of the movie fall more into the Inception Sci-Fi/Thriller realm. Either way, Fantasy Island fails to have a distinct intent and it's supposed genre was never fully embraced.

Furthermore, the movie is so twisted that it straightens itself out before the two final twist reveals. Just listen to how confusing that statement was. Fantasy Island tried so hard to keep viewers on their toes that they ruin their own anti-climatic twists. I will give credit to the producers that the twists were still executed well but they lacked umph. The viewer is left unafraid due to the overly complicated storytelling and plot developments. It would have served the movie well to just be classified more like the previous movies mentioned, rather than not delivering on the horror genre.

Even with those issues, the cast was sub-par. Individually, the actors were average, but collectively, the actors were still just average. Lucy Hale was by far the best performance at times but still was annoying. I feel Michael Pena was underutilized and or the writing and directing just squandered the possibility of the character. In fact, all of the ensemble cast had issues of being extremely annoying. Now, that I think about it, the writing in this movie was just poor overall. AH HA, found the issue.

With that said, de plane de plane… *clears throat* excuse me. Fantasy Island is a letdown for a horror movie but in a way could have succeeded as a Sci-Fi, psychological thriller. The storyline is not original, which is why they tried to make it so confusing. Or should I say a fantasy within a fantasy within a fantasy. Did they just successfully create an inception?! Either way, you can see this at a matinee time but you’re best served waiting for this to come on HBO Go or a streaming service.… Expand

Considering the source material from which this movie came I actually thought it wasn't bad. I am not saying it was great, far from it, but it isn't as bad as I was lead to believe. Apart from the performances of a couple of actors I was entertained more often then not. Yes the ending is convoluted and maybe isn't earned and yes there are characters that seem only to be there for exposition and nothing else but there is still something at the base of this movie that made me keep watching. Again I am not saying it was great, but I think there is a seed of something here that, with a little less melodrama and little more character backstory could actually make an interesting remake for a streaming service. Unfortunately I can't see anyone taking the chance on it so this is all you get, but if you give it a watch, tell me you can't see the potential for something interesting.… Expand
