... View MoreIt's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

... View Morein the role of dr. Christiansen. this is one of the pillars of the film. then, the bodies of two Australian teenagers losted out of civilisation, different one by other, becoming parts of a seductive love story. and, sure, the end. risky but useful for save a teenager story who could be a large collection of clichés and stereotypes. so, a nice film. easy to criticize, not bad for the mixture of classic themes. and for the tricks. because it has the nice idea to conquest different categories of public. the nostalgic of The Blue Lagoon from 1980 for the presence in the cast of Christopher Atkins. the admirers of the sequel from 1991 for the beautiful new level of story. but the target remains the Facebook generation. and this is the motif to not ignore a film who reflects the spirit of a circle of young people who defines his identity step by step.
... View MoreI don't like a lot of island movies but this one was really good I really loved the part where they started like each other more and the scenery really good I just hope they make a second with the same actors. I think that they could have stayed a little longer and gone into if she really was pregnant some movies they don't go in depth. But this is a great movie if you watch it people say that it is bad but I love it I never watched the other ones but this one I repeat was amazing you won't be sorry. So if you think this movie is good please say so these actors need praise instead of not having any good reviews just bad ones.
... View MoreThere are quite a few things wrong with this film, yet a few redeeming features too. Firstly, the script is awful. The cheesy one liners are woeful, and some of the ways the parents react are painful, although that is as much the acting than the script. So, the acting. The main leads, Thwaites and Evans, do as much as they can with a limited script, and looking beyond the American accents, bearing in mind they are both Australian, they don't do a bad job. They do actually create very intimate love scenes and keep the film going, and by the end of the movie, you do actually feel sad as Evans plays hard to get after all the attention they are getting. Also, they have obviously been picked for their looks, and not necessarily for their acting skills, and so much of it is filmed with minimal clothes on, which i must admit isn't a bad thing for the guys out there, and I'm sure the girls wont complain too. Overall, a rubbish script but with a nice deeper story and an intimate love story create by decent actors.
... View Morefrom an old book. an adaptation for XXI century of a romantic story. another part, with same ingredients. game with common pieces. nothing original. same teenagers, same isle, only end is little different. it is not a bad film. it can be almost nice. but the empty presence of Christopher Atkins, the unrealistic solutions, the place of film as another movie about teenagers, the beauty of nature as essence, the not inspired option for Trinidad , the ambition to create something interesting, the performance as convention, all are arguments for not great enthusiasm. sure, Blue Lagoon has its fans. but a small circle is not entire public. verdict - an exercise and a dusty theme.
