Watched
Survival Island (2005) last night. This movie certainly doesn't fit the topic as it is not among the BEST survival films.
It's pretty bad, but intriguing enough to keep me watching to the end to see how it turned out.
It's basically a love triangle between 3 survivors on a deserted island - a super hot looking woman, her obnoxious & jealous husband, and a young Cuban hunk who's feelin' hot-hot-hot for the woman.
What bothered me is the reactions are not realistic. In real survival situations you put a lot of things aside. And sex is probably low on the priority list when people are dirty, exhausted, dehydrated, starving, sunburned, bitten by bugs, afraid, and thinking about where the best place to defecate is that's not too far into the jungle, but far enough from their shelter.
Any person with skills is a commodity that's as valuable as fresh water, so you're probably going to bend over backwards to get along with them - and people will, more than likely, work & stay together, knowing that it will improve their odds for survival, make them more safe and increase their ability to obtain food, water, build better shelters, etc.
At different points in this movie the survivors don't seem to "get" these simple ideas and instead seem more interested in constantly heightening the drama and creating a soap opera rather than concentrating on surviving.
The film's one redeeming factor - the body on Kelly Brook in her white bikini - this is pretty much what kept me watching.
