The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. Category I · 109 minutes.

What it is about

While celebrating their last night together, high school graduates and best friends Jo and Raissa stumble upon a mysterious portal that transports them to the fantastical island of Nakali. When they discover that the memories of their entire friendship are the price for returning home, Jo and Raissa will race to find a way to leave the island before they forget each other forever.

What to expect

Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado direct this 3D-animated adventure that shifts into an animesque look once best friends Jo and Raissa land on the island of Nakali. The premise — memories as currency — gives the race to escape a quiet sting, and the Filipino-mythology setting fills the frame with creatures and landscapes that feel specific rather than generic. Voice work from H.E.R., Liza Soberano, Lea Salonga, and Manny Jacinto keeps the central friendship grounded. At 109 minutes and rated I, it is playing at only one cinema this week; tickets start at HK$100 and Chinese subtitles are provided.
