Shutter Island



“Shutter Island”

Greetings fellow Earth Movie Travelers,

~~If this is your first time reading a Movie Alien travel blog entry, please visit the “About Movie Alien” page to learn more about the purpose of these transmissions.

“Shutter Island” is a brand new voyage embarking from your Human Host’s local theatre this weekend. I just returned from an enjoyable experience with this sturdy, well crafted vehicle as it compelled travelers to examine the nature of the conscious psyche and its fragility when placed next to trauma or stressful memories.

Out of all the mysteries we share in this complex dimension that we all call home, none is more puzzling than our ability to relate to self-awareness. For most, the “self” is always a work in progress and the joy of life is found in what we personally find meaning in. The process of creating meaning is a personal experience for everyone with a mind.

But sometimes we visit conscious beings who have lost touch with their realities and their sense of “self” to understand how fragile our own lives can be without love, family and friends.

The voyage to “Shutter Island” is shared with Teddy Daniels. Teddy has traveled through his home solar system to a remote planetoid known as “Shutter Island” on official police business. “Shutter Island” is a place for the criminally insane and resembles a fifties era Earth. A prisoner/patient has escaped and it is Teddy’s responsibility to discover what happened to her. It is the start of the technology revolution and like Earth, the world here has unlocked the secrets of the atomic bomb. Paranoia is commonplace and psychiatrics is an evolving field of study.

But after spending a short time with Teddy Daniels on his journey, it becomes obvious that the he has ulterior motives on the desolate island. His past is linked to the place. But to tell you more about where I saw Teddy go would only take away from your own experience with “Shutter Island”. This is a cerebral thrill ride for Alien Travelers.

Overall, I would rate my voyage at 75% and be prepared to find out what lurks in the minds of men. Just don’t try to over think and enjoy the voyage.


Take care and safe travels,
~~Movie Alien
