Nice effects though.
Memorable, crazy movie
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
I can't believe I sat through this movie.How lame.Brenton is good looking and could have had better lines.And Indiana was just a total bitch.This seems like a cheap thrown together as they were filming movie. Very disappointed.I didn't care for the original Blue Lagoon either.I'm pretty sure I could have made a better story than that.And the parents? They just gave up and went home? What? Even the sister loses out cause now she lost the attention while Indiana was gone. Who makes these cheap movies? It should have had a more dangerous plot,and more realistic scenes.Also,sex w/o condoms and she never got preggers? Hmmm...Thats as believable as Brenton not having to shave once
Sometimes a movie you think must be garbage, surprises you. This is one of those reviews."Blue Lagoon: The Awakening" has everything that could make it a really bad movie. First of all, it's a Lifetime Movie, so it starts off with a disadvantage in the bag. Next, It's based on the "Blue Lagoon" movies without the key elements; growing up on the island, discovering the attraction of the opposite sex, young motherhood and the terrifying notion of the wilderness of an island. In this modern story, our young heroes are high school students who get shipwrecked by their own mistake while attending a boat party way past their curfew during a school trip. So, no traditional "Blue Lagoon" flick here. Yet strangely enough it works, because it's also a story about young love. Dean and Emma could have been stuck being study buddies in a traditional teen romantic drama and it would have still been enjoyable. This is mainly due to actors having great chemistry. On screen chemistry can make the most mundane movie warrant a second watch and make you believe in the characters. I have already re-watched it so to speak :) The actors Brenton Thwaites ( who snatched up the role of the young prince in the upcoming "Maleficient" and is a runner up for the role of Four opposite Shailene Woodley in the upcoming adaptation of the popular young adult novel "Divergent") & Indiana Evans have every quality to be young superstars. Both are exceptionally pretty (Indiana could have been love child of Brooke Shields and Denise Richards, the latter playing her mother so thumbs up for the casting as well), charismatic and light up the screen. Hopefully their careers will be filled with success, go kids! :) The music used in the movie is the second reason I enjoyed the movie so much. It even made the traditional slow-mo Lifetime movie shenanigans watchable. I have a really big nitpick about this movie that I can't let go of even though I loved it so much. This island had only one monkey and one very easily killed panther as its other occupants WTF? :) To sum it all up, if you like high school movies, picturesque beaches, pretty people and young love this is the movie for you.
I am from the Caribbean - and a lot of the scenes of a "desert island" was full of baloney!! My friends and I laughed through this "hoot" of a movie all the way through!! Sooo many inconsistencies and fallacies: Drinking and eating the coconut, fully husked!! A dried coconut is hard to cut and eat! One cannot "pick" fully ripened bananas!! A FULL lagoon AND a waterfall - on a "desert" island!!! First of all, there were no mountains on the "desert island" to have waterfalls. A big black cat; these do not live on any of the Caribbean Islands. Sleeping ON coconut leaves - most uncomfortable!! The "police" had American accents - not Trinidadian accents! Man - wheel and come again!!
from 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.
