Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Boodlums I saw The Seventh Continent when I was a child, and really enjoyed it. It is a delightful, fun adventure. I don't remember many specifics anymore, but... oh my God, I think this was my first crush on an Asian girl, where she's so adorably beckoning. LOL. Anyway, the movie's special effects were kind of low tech, but I actually enjoyed that -- kind of like watching Dark Shadows unedited bloopers or discovering how a magician performs a floating trick. This is definitely a movie for children, although adults who've never grown up may enjoy it as well. A Never-never land which feels much closer to home and real. I recommend seeing this movie for fun; just keep the hecklers away.

ritakarl I saw this movie when I was a child and always remembered it - hoping that it would eventually be available to rent or own (still not). It is a marvelous fantasy about a group of children who go to live on an island without any grown-ups. There is a remarkable technique used if I recall for the way they travel. All that remains with me is that it was such a fantastic world that they create for themselves. Let's all keep hoping that someday it will be on VHS. I know that when I read Lord of the Flies I was thoroughly upset because I had seen The Seventh Continent and KNEW that it wouldn't be like that - that children would work out all their problems and live together. There is some magic in the story - but that's perfect.
