What a waste of my time!!!

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

"The Navigator" is essentially a two character film. Buster Keaton plays an heir to the "Treadway fortune", Rollo Treadway. It's a part similar to the one he played in his first feature, "The Saphead" (1920). Kathryn McGuire plays Betsy O'Brien the daughter of a rich shipbuilder.There are two unnamed countries at war. One of them purchase a large luxury liner, "The Navigator" from Betsy's father. The other side plots to capture the ship and set her adrift so that she will be dashed upon the rocks and sink.When Betsy rejects Rollo's marriage proposal, he decides to take the planned honeymoon cruise to Hawaii himself. Naturally Rollo boards the wrong ship, the deserted Navigator. Betsy meanwhile in trying to rescue her father, who has been captured by spies, winds up aboard the Navigator unbeknownst to Rollo. Being on such a large ship the two manage to avoid running into each other with comedic effect.The two being rich and spoiled are at first unable to live on their own. But as the voyage proceeds, Rollo manages to devise a series of pulleys and equipment that solves their feeding problems. Rollo has to don a deep sea diving outfit in order to repair a broken rudder on the ship. Just as they are about to accept their fate they spot land. The only problem is the island is inhabited by cannibals.Turning Buster Keaton loose on an empty ocean liner you know will result in an endless array of pratfalls and sight gags...and it does. The fighting off of the cannibal attack is a highlight. His rescue of Betsy from the cannibals and their return to the ship is hilarious. His diving sequence where he puts up a "Danger - Men at Work" sign, uses a lobster to cut a cord and his "swordfight" with a pair of swordfish are memorable. In one scene, Buster gets entangled with a cannon which he would utilize again in "The General" (1926). The pair's rescue when all is seemingly lost during the relentless cannibal attack is pure Keaton.Not to be missed, a true Keaton classic.

this movie i have to say if one of my favorite silent films i have ever seen. i found that the beginning and end were slightly abrupt, but definitely not anything i would give it a lesser rating for. the movie had an interesting plot, about a wealthy young man planning on getting married, but the girl he asks turns him down, and just later that day he finds himself stranded on a boat alone with the very girl he asked to marry. there are a few great chase scenes around the boat. the movie includes some very impressive underwater photography towards the end where Rollo(Keaton) attempts to repair a leak in the boat and ends up having to duel a swordfish with another swordfish. and of course a pretty girl never hurts. so overall a great movie, i have already recommended it to a few others.

This film is about a very silly love story between a pampered you man and a naïve young woman. Like many of Keaton's other films, it is always moving. The Film doesn't let you get bored. It keeps you interested with all the things that keep making a hilarious situation even more ridiculous, which only makes it all the more funny. The music adds to the entertaining stunts making them even more amusing. Toward the end of the film, the two ignorant individuals have become a fully functioning couple. In the end of the film Keaton saves the girl from cannibals and all is well. I decided to give this film an 8 out of 10 because it is a very funny film, definitely one of Keaton's better productions.

I thought the whole set up and layout of the plot was very clever and engaging. I liked how early on, even though it is very simplistic, the audience can relate to the main character and become engaged in the story and the spectacle that much quicker. I also liked all the gags that were done, they were also very clever and well put together, I stood in awe at the fact that there was not only an underwater sequence but an important underwater sequence that was incredible to watch. There are not any characters that we are around so that leads to the few that we see to be very strong and not flat or clichéd and there relationship grows as the peril of the plot grows, it is very engaging.Overall I'd say the pacing was very well done, though I found myself daydreaming once or twice, and technically very well put together. Bravo.
