No plot

The cinematography was good, although some of the shots lingered far too long. However since the entire movie basically consisted of various camera shots, they needed each to last awhile to take up time.

No one filmed seemed to be an actor and there were only a few scenes with much dialogue. The dialogue was random and basically just what people would say in general conversation. I like this area of the Big Island which was the only reason I or anyone would have a reason to keep watching a film which was just shots of different locations and life there. Any attempt at a plot might have made this move closer to being an actual movie.
