Nim's Island

Anything can happen on Nim's Island, a magical place ruled by a young girl's imagination. It is an existence that mirrors that of her favorite literary character, Alex Rover--the world's greatest adventurer. But Alexandra, the author of the Rover books, leads a reclusive life in the big city. When Nim's father goes missing from their island, a twist of fate brings her together with Alexandra. Now, they must draw courage from their fictional hero, Alex Rover, and find strength in one another to conquer Nim's Island.

[Highly rated reviewer]

Great watch-together family treat.

Nims father is a research scientist who gets into a scrape leaving Nim stranded on the remote island they live on. Worried Nims contact with the outside world involves reading adventure books and using the internet. She decides in her predicament to enlist the help of what she presumes is a real adventurer fresh from the pages of her favourite book, only to find the hero, Alex, is in fact a character written by a clastrauphobic authoress (Jodie Foster), who has to battle her own fears of the great outdoors to help Nim. A remote island, an oceanographer father, a fictitious adventurer and a clasutrophobic writer, there are quite a few points of interest to this one. A great film to sit down and watch as a family, it will keep both your and your little ones interest, and is definately worth a watch.
