Island zero gets a lot right off the bat, actual location work and local actors adding to belief this is a real working place. Not like a lot of the sci fi channel flicks where you know its all a sound stage.
Its a pretty good idea for a film too as a concept, though I think a lot of the better monster films have a few more ground rules for the creatures to keep it interesting.
Which leads me to say this is a full blown monster film in the end & ultimately might disappoint as realistically to do that well you need a bit more of a budget.
The first half and set up were great but by the end I was a bit tired of it all but the doctor character did a great job holding the film up as it turned into a bit uninspired Predator fish territory.
Worth a go and I would say as a first effort which I think it is the entire crew have done a decent job. 6
