I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
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 one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
This film is a near technical disaster as city folk attempt to survive in the wilds of Alaska, yet the photography and the superb participation by the animals, as well as the credible acting of the human participants bring off a pleasant and suspenseful film for any family. Overlook the technical improbabilities and enjoy a thoroughly enjoyable film.
The best way to describe this film would be that it has a first rate story, second rate acting and third rate production values. What do you expect from a late 70's film? You can line up "Rollercoaster" & "Scavenger hunt" along the edge as well-what you see is what you get.This is a good story, it's just isn't executed very well. This would be a better movie if they have good production values-it just doesn't. I was never crazy about Robert Logan from "Wilderness Family" fame. Isn't any wonder why he isn't well known?A family attempts a voyage around the world on a sail boat-that run into trouble-you guessed it-A storm and they are shipwrecked. Do I need say more?I enjoy this movie on a rainy day when I want pass 1 hour & 40 minutes or so of time.
We encourage our children to watch the movies that are more appropriate for their age. At a time when Walt Disney and others are using burping (and other unmentionable acts) to entertain children, I would certainly choose this movie.
Beautiful scenery, romantic and just enough action. A Seattle yachtsman, his two daughters, a stowaway and a young reporter are stranded on an Alaskan island. At times a little too "touchy, feely", but a tender and warm family flick. Robert Logan is convincing as the cool dad and Miki Jamison-Olsen is very good as the reporter. Rescuing a caribou is tender, while the salmon catching scene is a relaxed frolic. Scenes of the natural wildlife are wonderful. Nothing here to really cause you any stress...sit back, relax and enjoy.
