Polarizing Polar: An Exploitation Film For the Modern Viewer
In the shadow of towering film production companies lived dozens of grindhouses, genres, and low-budget films deemed too “unclean” for the modern film audience.

Following the story of Timer, a disillusioned romantic man, who is wondering about this lady, Naroa, who keeps on showing up mysteriously around him. Until one day, after waking up from the night of drinking, he was finally able to talk to Naroa. Naroa then decided to invite Timer to show him the truth in her life. Even though Timer was hesitant, he still went with Naroa and joined her journey. Timer kept on asking Naroa about her name since she hasn’t told him anything about it. Naroa disrupted him. Naroa brought Timer in the seashore. Naroa's resting place. Sitting on the sand, Timer and Naroa starts to become comfortable with each other. Timer falls asleep next to Naroa. She left her necklace to Timer while telling him how happy she was. The next day, Naroa is nowhere to be seen. He felt something in his hand, it was Naroa’s necklace. He then ran everywhere calling Naroa’s name, until he saw her and ran towards her. But as he reached her, Naroa vanished.

Its predictability shouldn’t distract from the enjoyment that the pure cinematic imagination behind the camera elicits. It is a movie of crises both moral and mortal, oozing with CGI, and thoroughly enjoyable.
A sweet, singalong distraction with several positive messages.
If Miguel Alexandre were trying to make a revenge story seem dull without using all the effective formulas that work great in this catchy genre, he could not have accomplished his purpose much better than he unintentionally has in Black Island.
So do I recommend that people see this movie, yes 100%, but do I think they are going to come out of it with 80 hot takes, yes 100%.
