a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It'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.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

i saw the film yesterday night on spix at midnight as there weren't any good movie up in the television at that time and now i am thankful to the media Chanel spix for that! the movie is great,but it seems to go at a slow pace(probably because we are to much used to the fast pace of life) but it delivers its message in the most beautiful way. the movie teaches us that there won't be any of the evil dwelling in us if we are deeply associated with the best of the creations of nature. towards the end of the movie we learn that how harm we are causing to this holy place of ours.just think of a single thing which is not derived either directly or indirectly from the nature! probably we won't find any. and now think of the times when you have been grateful to this nature(and not god for that sake)for this beautiful life of ours or the way in which we have given back to the nature for showering it's gift upon us! this movie teaches us to be grateful to each and everything in life and cherish this beautiful life of ours without causing any harm to the other creatures of this beautiful planet.GO FOR IT AT LEAST ONCE IN YOUR LIFETIME! WISH YOU A GREAT DAY!

WARNING: I advise anyone who has not seen the film yet to not read this comment.Okay, let me start off by saying that I absolutely loved The Blue Lagoon and the only reason I gave this the rating I gave it is for their effort. Yes, I could tell they actually put in an effort to make this a satisfying sequel, but sadly failed.Well, I'm going to start with the beginning. I like how they began where the first one left off by finding Richard and Em dead floating in the boat along with baby Paddy who survived, though they had been in a completely different looking boat, not laying on their stomachs, had been found by completely different looking people and the people who found them's boat looked completely different, but still, they made an effort. On into where Lilli, Richard (Paddy) and Sarah are shipwrecked. I like how they showed them finding the home Em and Richard inhabitant from the first film, though if I recall the house was on the beach not half-way into the woods and the inside looked (using this word again) completely different, but still, I loved how the movie actually gave an effort. Also, I liked how they gave an effort to make Sarah a more compelling parent figure as Paddy was in the first and they actually accomplished that, I felt a little sad when she died and I did not care one bit when Paddy did.Well, then the rest of the film goes on and we see Lilli and Richard grow up. From then on out until about the last 20 or so minutes of the film are left, it is the exact same as the first! Nothing is new except the cast! Since this is rated PG-13 and the first was rated R, you get no actual compelling feelings and scenes as you did in the first, such as, in this you do not get to see the sex scene or any sex scene that leads up to their baby, when you did in the first and it made the film more touching and beautiful. The last 20 or so minutes as I said, they tried something new, and gave an effort by adding to the movie that people actually found the castaways on the island this time. I hated this change. Not because I hated the idea, they just went about it all wrong. So these people are landing on this island that isn't even on the map, as one of the passengers stated, why, the movie did not say. The idea that a very lady-like and civilized daughter would fall in love with this guy she just saw for the very first time on an island who has no interest in her at all and is uncivilized is very stupid and the idea that one of the crew members will deliberately chase Richard across the island to try and kill him just because they were what, in a fight, is stupid.At the very end, there is a baby born which you do not care about at all in any way because the film spent absolutely no time at all on showing it grow up whatsoever, which they did in the first, and then it goes off. I have wrote so much and spilled my heart out about this sequel because I absolutely fell in love with the first and I thought this was very, very disappointing. Like I said, I didn't give this a lower rating because it actually does manage to entertain at a lot of points and the actors captured their parts rather well, I guess. As you can obviously tell by now, I thought they gave an effort at trying too and I found that respectable, but overall this was totally unnecessary and just left me wanting so much more. It makes the first look like a goldmine, which it already was a masterpiece anyway...

Picking up where "The Blue Lagoon" (made about 11 years prior) left off, but changing the ending somewhat in order to facilitate the new story, this sequel made barely a ripple at the box office. When the original boy and girl are found dead in their boat by a small ship, their still-alive son is rescued and put in the care of young mother and widow Pelikan. However, soon afterwards, the crew begins to contract and spread cholera and so Pelikan, her new son and her infant daughter are put out to sea in a dinghy in the hopes that they can avoid death from the disease. Eventually, she and the children wash up on the same island from the first film and are conveniently able to live in the same elaborate tree house. The years go by and the children grow into tan, athletic Krause and nubile beauty Jovovich. With Pelikan having died before they reached puberty, the kids are left to figure out most of the facts of life themselves, all set amidst beautiful island scenery and backed by lush music provided by Basil Poledouris. Much like the first film, the kids fish, bathe, argue and make love while the threat of headhunters on the north die of the island looms. Where this film differs is in the arrival of civilization, so to speak, in the form of sea captain Blain, his precocious daughter Coburn and a crew of grizzled sailors. Krause and Jovovich soon learn that sometimes civilization is not as civilized as life in the wild. Pelikan bears most of the weight of the first half of the film and does a reasonably good job of it. She's given the unenviable task of acting most of her scenes either alone or opposite a couple of small children. Krause and Jovovich do not appear until nearly 45 minutes into the movie. Krause, who bears quite a likeness at times to Heath Ledger, is appealing enough, but suggests nothing beyond a neatly coiffed, California beach boy playing Lord of the Flies. He doesn't really get to cover any territory that wasn't already handled by his predecessor Christopher Atkins. Jovovich is stunning to look at, and performs admirably as well, but, again, is stuck redoing what Brooke Shields already did. Thus, the film, despite a few tweaks in the formula, comes off as an imitation or remake of the previous one. People who never watched the first film will likely be able to enjoy this one more than those who are fans of the original (not even counting the versions filmed in 1923 and 1949!) Coburn is appropriately snotty and manipulative, perhaps too convincingly so since she was scarcely heard from again after this! Entertaining enough on its own terms, it is certainly no classic and is fairly preposterous, but is also not the dog some people have made it out to be. It's basically a rehash, made in an attempt to wring a few more bucks out of a concept that worked well the first time.

I didn't think this movie was too bad.I didn't necessarily like that Richard and Em from the first movie wound up being found dead by different people when they were found "just sleeping" at the end of the first one by Richard's father. Kinda takes away from the first movie, but I guess it was necessary to set up the angle of their son in the sequel.I think the fact that they were more educated than the couple in the first movie was good, because it gave it it's own element. No one wanted to see a complete repeat of the Blue Lagoon. But the innocence is still there.The fact that they wound up on the same island isn't that far-fetched. They were in the area when they lost their paddle in the first movie. The location they stayed with Paddy as kids in the first movie wasn't THAT far from where they wound up staying after he died. In the second movie, The mother and the kids get dropped off the main boat, so it was probably the closest land there was.And for the people that wondered where the tribe came from when they didn't see them for years, they came every 3 months when it was a full moon outside. That's where the drums were coming from AND the boats going through the water in the middle of the night. They were just never allowed to go to the other side of the island, ITS THE LAW! lol and when they did sneak over there, there was no full moon, so the tribe wasn't there.I liked that they brought in "civilized" people towards the end of the movie. It let the viewers see how they'd interact with other people. They always knew that they were supposed to ask to be taken back to civilization if a ship ever came, but if the only interaction they had with "civilized" people was being shot at and attempted rape, I'd want to stay on the island too.Overall, it wasn't that bad of a movie. Maybe not as good as the first, but what sequel is? I'd recommend it.
