MIX UP REVIEWS:

Nina (Age 13) - ★★★★1/2

"Loved it! Such good costume and make up. The makeup is very realistic, sometimes a little too realistic! They filmed it on a real island which made it 10 times better! The special effects are awesome! It’s an amazing story about a bunch of boys who get stranded on a desert island and have to survive on their own. Ralph gets voted Chief, although Jack is not happy with this and makes his own tribe, The Hunters! Rivalry begins and also a hunt for the beast! The actors are amazing! Lox Pratt (Jack) is amazing! Winston Sawyers (Ralph) has such good acting talent! The casting of Jack and Ralph was perfect to capture the rivalry between the two sides! The music is a bit questionable though. After watching it I watched the making of and it was really cool to see how they did everything! Overall a really good series but be careful with younger children as some scenes are quite frightening!"
