Let's be realistic.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
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 came across this movie on HBO and unfortunately viewed it. Let me say Trinidad is not a poor country in need of "Habitat for Humanity". It is the 7th most industrialized nation in the world and the biggest exporter of LNG to USA. Maybe the Lifetime movie creators should have done their research. I am disgusted by the portrayal of "locals" and areas that DO NOT exist in Trinidad. The Trinidad police do not have boats..we have COASTGUARDS. And lastly, there are NO panthers in the Caribbean!!!!!!This show does not show anything about Trinidad except a fantasy of how a "POOR" Caribbean country is supposed to look like according to the myopic minds who created this junk.
View MoreI was in a chick flick mood, so I chose to watch this movie. I knew with in the first two minutes that I wasn't going like it. I watched it anyways(mostly because the main actor 'dean' is hot). The acting was hard to get passed because a lot of the lines felt forced. Seriously the acting in Dirty Dancing and Twilight were better. The only thing I was impressed with was the similarity in looks the leading actress had to the original Blue Lagoon film and to Denise Richards, which I believe is the only reason they picked her to star. Save your self the palm to the forehead slap and watch something else more worth your time.
View MoreI thought the movie was a remake but to me it was an entirely different movie. I think it showed how teenagers view things according to peer pressure. If they had not been stranded together this connection they had would never had happened. As far as the acting and all of everything else I enjoyed the movie for what it was. I think the 2 teens did a great job and they seemed natural to me and not like actors so to me it seemed more real. Some of the reviews made comments about the coconut scene was so fake because they had to have a way to open them. Well they did...there were rocks and why not waterfalls on an island....I have seen it here in Maine. And there are also bears and other animals on islands in Maine. These are facts.
