I was never into Van Hagar.
The events of the story involve females during the the Victorian era and the societal constraints thereof. The message is potent: The only way to escape the constraints/limitations/corruptions of a flawed society on Earth -- with the understanding that every society is flawed -- is to <b>literally leave the Earth</b>.
Nah, I don't remember it in 2006; 2017 sounds right.
I haven't seen that one yet; I'll put it on my watchlist, thanks.
Your post fell through the cracks for some reason, but here I am replying four years later: I give the move a 5/10, but it has it's points of interest. For instance, the opening credits are entertaining, as is Brando in the titular role; and you can't beat the locations (shot in northeastern Australia, in the Cairns region). Unfortunately, the story isn't that compelling; the flow is off, which is mostly apparent in the mounting craziness of the final third.
The making-of documentary, "Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau," is more entertaining that the movie itself, and one of the better such documentaries I've seen: <url>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3966544/?ref_=tt_mlt_tt_t_2</url>

Let's see your list of all-time top beauties.
I think it's closer to a 6.8633.
This was literally prophetic.
That's funny. I'll keep a lookout for that scene the next time I watch the movie (I haven't seen it since it debuted in theaters).
Not to mention, it's based on the true story of Richard Speck, which is generally known. It's like someone saying on the "Titanic" board that the ship sinks at the end and over 1500 people lose their lives. It's not a spoiler.
