The Mysterious Island – Movie Review & Giveaway
I was recently sent The Mysterious Island DVD to review. This movie follows a team of researchers and a 16 year old boy to the Galapagos Islands. The Galapagos are a chain of island, (Ecuador is the closest land mass) that Darwin used to prove his theory of evolution. Did he really prove it, though?
I learned a lot in this movie. I learned some things I didn’t know about Darwin and his theory. This documentary has some fascinating video of birds and other creatures. How about a salt sneezing marine Iguana? The under the ocean video was incredible, too. Here’s a clip:
Our entire family loved this movie. From adults down to our youngest who is a 10 year old boy (you know how hard it is to get them to sit still!) were fascinated with the movie. No one wanted to leave the room, in case we missed something. My husband did leave the room for a minute, and missed the bird with a bright blue beak and bright blue webbed feet. And I mean bright blue!
We will definitely watch this movie again. There is so much information packed into it, that one really must watch it more than once. If you’ve ever wondered how Darwin came up with his theory of evolution, you’ll be interested in this movie. The researchers set out to prove his theory wrong. You’ll have to watch the movie to see what information they unveil. You know I can’t give it all away!
You’ll also like this movie for all the wonderful wildlife video. We all thoroughly enjoyed seeing and learning about lots of species that we had never seen or heard of before.
I highly recommend this movie.

Thanks for hosting this. I really want to watch this. I love finding things that I can watch as a family. I'm finding that is not an easy task! My girls know that when something is PG13 that doesnt' mean they can watch it and two of them are 16! lol
Have a great day, Susie

I watch every nature documentary I can…so much to learn. I always used to wish I was part of the 'Calypso' crew with Jacques Cousteau.
