  1. Fantasy Island (netflix movie review)@roadstories1092d

    Excelente domingo tengan todos Hivers, espero que este fin de semana haya sido fructífero para todos ustedes, en mi caso ha sido de descanso y aprovechar de pensar algunas cosas que me han aquejado y pues que necesito resolver.

    Pero mientras, sigue la ronda de películas y me he ido directamente a mi lista de tramas pendientes, ya no es por recomendación de netflix.

    Esta vez he escogido una película de esas que encuentras en el apartado de "90 minutos". Me llamó mucho la atención la descripción que le han colocado pues se trata de una isla donde todo es posible y todos los deseos se hacen realidad.

    Yo la verdad fui un poco escéptico con respecto a ello, porque debe haber un límite de posibilidades y realidades, pero pues por un momento olvide que el cine está lleno de fantasía y ese dato es clave en esta película.

    Excellent Sunday to all of you Hivers, I hope this weekend has been fruitful for all of you, in my case it has been to rest and take advantage of thinking about some things that have been bothering me and that I need to solve.


    But meanwhile, the round of movies continues and I have gone straight to my list of pending plots, it is no longer by netflix recommendation.
    This time I have chosen one of those movies you find in the "90 minutes" section. I was very struck by the description they have placed on it because it is about an island where everything is possible and all wishes come true.
    I was a little skeptical about it, because there must be a limit of possibilities and realities, but for a moment I forgot that cinema is full of fantasy and that fact is key in this film.

    No sabría decir si es una cuestión de suerte el ser afortunado de ganar un concurso cuyo premio básicamente es cualquier cosa que desees.

    Pues bueno estas afortunadas personas tienen la dicha de estar en la isla de la fantasía a través de un premio que han ganado de un concurso que nunca es mencionado, queda a la total imaginación del espectador la razón real por la cual están allí.

    Sin embargo, ya de antemano por las primeras escenas de la película nos da a entender que no es para nada bueno, lo que ellos verán como unas vacaciones podría convertirse en una real pesadilla.

    Se me hizo muy curioso la omisión que le han dado a dicho "concurso", pues es bastante particular la escogencia de personas una vez que cada uno de ellos empieza a vivir su fantasía.

    I wouldn't know if it is a matter of luck to be fortunate enough to win a contest whose prize is basically anything you want.


    Well, these lucky people are fortunate enough to be on the island of fantasy through a prize they have won from a contest that is never mentioned, it is left to the total imagination of the viewer the real reason why they are there.
    However, it is already clear from the first scenes of the movie that it is not good at all, what they will see as a vacation could turn into a real nightmare.
    I was very curious about the omission of the "contest", because it is quite particular the choice of people once each one of them begins to live their fantasy.

    Cuando una de las fantasías se cruza con la vida de alguien que muestran al inicio de la película supe que había algo escondido tras todo lo "maravilloso" de estar en una isla paradisiaca con el poder básicamente de hacer lo que sea.

    Es como abrir una puerta, entrar, ver hacerse realidad sus mayor deseo, pero luego te preguntas ¿a qué costo?, y esto es algo que por supuesto me pregunté en el primer momento que algo imposible se hizo posible, siempre hay un precio que pagar.

    Una de las frases que retumba en mi cabeza es cuando hacen referencia de querer tenerlo todo, pues una persona que lo tiene todo está a mayor merced de que otros quieran quitárselo.

    Y justo acá dan una demostración de ello, dando a entender que lo mucho siempre tiene sus consecuencias y que lo mejor es equilibrar las cosas cuando se trata de jugar cuando hay otros jugadores dentro lo mismo.

    When one of the fantasies intersects with the life of someone they show at the beginning of the movie I knew there was something hidden behind all the "wonderfulness" of being on an island paradise with the power to basically do anything.


    It's like opening a door, walking in, seeing your greatest wish come true, but then you wonder at what cost, and this is something that of course I wondered at the first moment that something impossible became possible, there is always a price to pay.
    One of the phrases that echoes in my head is when they make reference to wanting to have it all, because a person who has it all is at the greater mercy of others wanting to take it away.
    And right here they give a demonstration of it, implying that too much always has its consequences and that the best thing is to balance things when it comes to playing when there are other players inside the same thing.

    La cuestión se vuelve un poco retorcida cuando las historias de estos huéspedes se ven involucrado en un hecho real antes de llegar a la isla.

    Lo extraño es que ninguno de ellos recordaba lo sucedido, como si nunca hubiese existido, o pudiera ser que la isla así lo quería. Pues muchas veces se hace mención que lo que la isla pide, debe darse tal cual, como si tuviera vida propia a través de los deseos de los huéspedes.

    En un escenario donde se descubre la verdad, algunas vidas se pierden incluso la de los ya muertos, quienes han revivido como un deseo de algunos.

    Pero debo acotar que descubrir la persona real tras de todo esto fue bastante retorcido aún, y las razones aún más la verdad, colocándole en el puesto que siempre tuvo de una persona un poco retorcida.

    Lo que es seguro en esta película es que una vez que una fantasía empieza a hacerse real, no hay vuelta atrás, las cosas deben terminar de alguna forma y la mayoría de las veces no en lo que esperamos.

    The question becomes a little twisted when the stories of these guests are involved in a real event before arriving on the island.


    The strange thing is that none of them remembered what happened, as if it had never existed, or it could be that the island wanted it that way. For many times it is mentioned that what the island asks for must be given as it is, as if it had a life of its own through the wishes of the guests.
    In a scenario where the truth is discovered, some lives are lost, even those of the already dead, who have been revived as a wish of some.
    But I must point out that discovering the real person behind it all was pretty twisted even, and the reasons even more so the truth, placing him in the position he always had of a slightly twisted person.
    What is for sure in this movie is that once a fantasy starts to become real, there is no turning back, things have to end somehow and most of the time not in what we expect.

  2. [ENG/ESP] 🎬La isla de la fantasía@genesishealthy1462d

    Hello 💙

    Recuerdan de este show de tv llamado la isla de la fantasía de 1977? Bueno a alguien se le ocurrió hacer una versión de terror, no es una broma, y hecho la premisa es interesante, cuando la historia comienza consigue atraparte, tiene actuaciones bastante cuestionables por parte de todo el reparto pero lo pasas por el alto por que termina dándote curiosidad cuáles serán sus fantasías, algunos siendo más comunes relacionadas al sexo y otras más fuertes como la venganza de torturar a alguien, la película es entretenida lo digo de ante mano, pero tiene algunos problemas que ensombrecen una historia que puedo ser realmente interesante.

    Remember this tv show called fantasy island from 1977? Well someone came up with the idea of making a horror version, it's not a joke, and in fact the premise is interesting, when the story starts it manages to grab you, it has quite questionable performances from all the cast but you overlook it because it ends up making you curious what their fantasies will be, some being more common related to sex and others stronger like the revenge of torturing someone, the movie is entertaining I say that up front, but it has some problems that overshadow a story that could be really interesting.

    El punto más débil es su guion, en la parte final la película tiene un giro que intenta ser sorprendente y de primera mano lo llega a ser pero luego te das cuenta rápidamente que tiene un error bastante grande, ya que termina creando más interrogante, que hacen que a la historia se caiga por su sola, te hace preguntarte si las personas que reviven (lo entenderá cuando la vean) son reales o son falsas, quien decide cuales son, o que son, los orígenes de la isla no se explican o no quedan del todo claro, ya que las reglas que tiene establecida se rompen a cada rato.

    The weakest point is its script, in the final part the film has a twist that tries to be surprising and at first hand it becomes so but then you quickly realize that it has a pretty big mistake, as it ends up creating more questions, which make the story fall by itself, it makes you wonder if the people who revive (you will understand when you see it) are real or fake, who decides who they are, or what they are, the origins of the island are not explained or are not entirely clear, since the rules it has established are broken at every turn.

    Como mencione al inicio, si es un filme que entretiene, no es una obra magistral del cine de terror, pero pasaran un rato agradable viéndola con amigos, el punto más fuerte que tiene es que si consigue atraparte por momentos, pero si te queda esa espinita de pudo ser mejor, y llegando al final sientes todo un poco empalagoso, hasta el punto que te preguntas, ok ya mejor termine la historia, es recomendable verla? Si claro, si lo haces con amigos para pasar el rato y la puedes encontrar en HBO Max.

    As I mentioned at the beginning, if it is a film that entertains, it is not a masterpiece of horror cinema, but you will have a good time watching it with friends, the strongest point it has is that if it manages to catch you at times, but if you have that little thorn that could be better, and reaching the end you feel everything a little cloying, to the point that you ask yourself, ok I better finish the story, is it advisable to see it? Yes of course, if you do it with friends to pass the time and you can find it on HBO Max.

    Aquí les dejo el tráiler para que le echen un vistazo

    Here is the trailer for you to take a look at it

    ¡Hasta la próxima, un abrazo!

  3. Fantasy Island (Movie Review)@bliss112234d

    Have you ever wished to see your fantasy come to reality? What if you were given just one opportunity to have your fantasy unfold before your very eyes...be it real or not? Weird huh? Would you accept it, at a price of course.

    Fantasy Island is a 2020 horror movie directed by Jeff Wadlow. With a runtime of 1hr 48mins, it starred actors like Michael Peña, Maggie Q, Lucy Hale, Austin Stowell, Portia Doubleday amongst others.


    Synopsis

    When five people gets chosen to visit an island where their fantasies are brought to reality. Fantasies becomes nightmares as they must try to survive while they solve the Island mystery.

    [source](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0983946/mediaviewer/rm2591982593)

    The story revolves around 5 persons who arrives at an Island expecting to live out their fantasy unknown to them what price it would cost. There is Melanie Cole whose fantasy was to get her revenge on a childhood bully who made her life a wreck as a child. There is also Gwen Olsen, whose fantasy was to accept a marriage proposal she had rejected few years back. Patrick Sullivan who was a part of the group, held on to his fantasy of getting enlisted in a war as a soldier just like his father. There is also the Weaver brothers whose visitation to the Island was to realize their fantasy of having everything they want..."wanting to have it all".

    Living out a fantasy is not a bad thing but when having to realize it is at a costly price then makes it a nightmare you can't escape from. This was the dilemma of these persons whose fantasies became a nightmare.

    [source](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0983946/mediaviewer/rm1446558209)

    The concept of fantasy becoming a reality was fun to watch for me...and I actually enjoyed it but I wouldn't call it an horror movie since I could watch most of the scenes if not all with my two eyes open "How else am I supposed to watch it right? Lol you know what I mean though." Unlike other horror/slasher movies this was far from it. So if you are expecting to get loads of horror from watching this then please don't bother because you wouldn't be satisfied with the kind of horror the movie has to deliver.

    The movie was a bit tricky and held it's suspense to a point...a lot was happening but they were all connected...at that point you'd be like "Ah! I see, so that's what it is all about"...yeah that kind of feeling. The actors performance was alright, they made good use of their screen time....not as expected but it wasn't that bad.

    [source](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0983946/mediaviewer/rm3605171201)

    "Be careful what you wish" for is more like a direct message from the movie. We all fantasize about lot's of things, have regrets about something that has happened in the past which we would want to redo or relive to make right any wrong that has happened. But then, one thing that stuck to me was that not all fantasy are meant to become a reality and not all mistake can undone.

    The movie is okay to watch and pass time...not in my list of must watch but it wouldn't be a waste of time either. So if you are looking to see a movie you could check this out...these are just my opinions, you might just enjoy it better than I did.
