As Good As It Gets

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I have hoped all these last years to see The lost Islands, again. I was so excited when I saw the DVD in a big famous shop in Paris. The adventures of the five children who find themselves in an island where are living people like 200 years ago are still impassioning. Like another commentator, my only regret is that it is obvious that a second season was previous and not shoot. I could not find any comment about the film, The Lost Islands (with the same cast), that was released in Australia in 1975. Does anyone know something about it ? I would be so pleased to see it as well. Anyway thanks to the Australian channel who produced this wonder and to the French DVD distributor for having bought the rights of it and made The Lost Islands not lost anymore. Merci

Hallo, I'm an Italian man, non in Romania. Searching in InterNet I found some info concerning "The Lost Islands", a serial which shocked me when I was young, when I was 13 years old. It means that I loved it very much for the adventures and for the exotic places where it was shot. Now, it seems incredible to find info about it on InterNet. But I'd like to read something more about the cast, about the place in which it was shot. I'd like also to see some picture of the scenes. Is it possible? Someone knows something about InterNet resources related: 1) photos/pictures 2) stories about this wonderful serial?. Please, if so, send email to gtalba1@hotmail.com, if so, send email to gtalba1@hotmail.com

This show made it to the UK as well. I've not seen it since 1979 and yet that theme song is imbedded in my brain forever! This is the best kids tv show to have come out of Australia; way better than Skippy! A great premise, teen heroes that aren't too annoying, great villains and genuine excitement in each episode. It was also very well filmed in exotic locations. My regret is that it only lasted one series; we were left hanging in suspense as to what was going to happen. Maybe a remake is in order?

This show centered around 5 children who used there combined efforts to take control of an island inhabited by people still living in the past. It combines the realism of what if time travel was possible. It demonstrates the kids ability to work together. Catch theme song.
