Reviews
Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
markjayaweera2003 **** Contains Spoilers***** No I don't think they died at the end. However the movie forces us to draw our own conclusions. They probably survived. Was re-united with their father and moved back to San Francisco or Boston. It would have been nice if the made a proper movie sequel. Where after they are rescued they show a bit about Richard, Emmeline and their son their life back in America. After returning did they get married. You want this family to live happily ever after because you emotionally invested so much in their lives and this very moving story. How did they re-integrate after so many years living on a desert island. I would hate to think our innocent heros , Richard and Emmeline died after all they have been through. I have to say Blue Lagoon is one of the best films I have seen in my life. It is now one of my favourites. Because once in a while a rare movie comes along that deals with the human condition, relationships between men and women, desire to raise a family. Their child like innocence is endearing in a harsh world. Yet they survive against the odds. Few movies deal with real issues like this. A movie about the human condition. IMDb's rating is far too low. This movie deserves a solid 8. The very least 7.5. Outstanding movies with a outstanding story like the Blue Lagoon deserve a much higher rating on IMDb.
Realrockerhalloween A modern day Adam and Eve are stranded on a deserted island and must learn to coop with the challenges it presents.The location shots set the scenes and are some of the most beautiful decorations to grace the screen.Richard and Em are almost a candidate for a documentary on how well mankind could make it without the comforts or technology we take for granted everyday. They revert back to their instincts of making shelter, learning how to make weapons, hunt, gather good and create fire all the skills you need to survive.They tried to hold onto the past they once knew, discover love sex that's hard for them to put into words and yet retain a child like innocence.The casting was interesting, if you had told me this was Brooke Sheilds Brian's first roles I would've called you a liar, are how I imagined them from the book.Yet it only adds to the tragic end as the small family try a last minute effort to sail off into the sea to save their only child who fell sick. Will they or won't they make it?The only film I can say that ever reached the brilliance and majesty of the lagoon was caste away.10/10
Tracy Winters You'll think someone pee'd in the lagoon turning the water yellow in this stinky film about young teens discovering their bodies and the importance of building their outhouse down-wind.Brooke Shields is pretty and Chris Atkins looks at least as good as she does. The two island lovebirds have sex until Brooke gets knocked up. Oh no! All of a sudden, the jungle drums they've been hearing are getting louder, but who the hell cares, because Brooke is giving birth! Holy Coconuts! What to do?! Well, they'll think of something.Popular coming-of-age film has been over-rated for decades. Tune in if you must, but don't go near Atkins' other sea-going adventure, 'The Pirate Movie'. That flick REALLY sucked, and if that isn't enough, Kristy McNichol(!) played his 'love interest'! EEEEWWWW!!! Mommy, I'm scared!
pronetomovies I have been exploring 90s/80s movies these past weeks and I gotta admit this one is one of the best films I have seen. It was a bit corny yes and weird yes but it seems so believable you know like you will wonder what if this actually happened? I love Brooke Shields I haven't even hit the play button yet but the video's thumbnail made me fall in love with her already. She's so beautiful that I'm not gonna ask myself if she was the dream girl back to her days because the answer is right before my eyes. I've seen some articles saying Christoper Atkins was the teen heartthrob and I don't doubt it, he looks so good in this film alongside with Brooke Shields that's the reason why this film is perfect. Their role suits them I don't even know they just look cute together. I've seen the remakes and I didn't bother finishing the whole film especially the one that was released in 2012 that film is absolutely cliché and I just could predict what will happen without seeing the ending. I recommend this film, it's so good and worth watching.
