The Last Island (1990) Movie Review

Thought I would give The Last Island a go as you generally find little gems of a movie within titles/actors/age of the movie that you generally would just flick past.

It has a great cast Sean (Paul Freeman - a billionaire gay) who is my favourite character. Joanna (Shelagh McLeod) playing a strong headed woman to inspire to. Mrs Godame (Patricia Hayes – great actress) playing a wise retired woman (fab character too). Nick (Kenneth Colley – great actor!) God loving preacher. Pierre (Marc Berman) general nice French chap and Jack (Ian Tracey) young chap wants a laugh and lots of girls! And that’s it :)

These 7 characters end up in a plane crash on a lonely uninhabited island without any means of communication. They survive for quite a while before people change and turn on each other.

They think (didn’t quite know why!) that the whole planet had been hit by who knows what and no one had survived. And it was up to Joanna to repopulate!!

I wont put any spoilers in here but safe to say it’s a great movie and has that real feel of an oldie but a goodie.

Now a days movies are full of special effects and sometimes, not so great acting.

The cast was perfect and they played their characters very well!! I was going to put this in the title but its quite a large spoiler I suppose :)

So Ill put it here - don’t read any further!! Its a great line from one of my fav movies that kinda suits this movie down to the ground :) 'Man Kills Man - Woman Inherits the earth' :) teehee :) (Jurassic Park - probably am paraphrasing there though!
