Summary: Tape was in poor condition
Review: The story was typical Gilligan's Island fare, so that was fine. The problem was in trying to enjoy the story, with a poorly reproduced video tape.

Summary: 5 stars for the movie 1 for this DVD pressing
Review: They ruined a great movie.
Like the other reviewers, watching it on cable gives a cleaner/intact version than this dvd. But for a couple of bucks, its ok for a die hard fan. Just wish they would release a box set of all the movies.

Summary: Nostalgia at Its Best
Review: They say you can never go back, but maybe it works with the castaways because they never left. They're right where CBS left them in 1968, when TV's longest running shipwreck was canceled -- except this time they HAVE to get rescued. The title of the movie requires it, as does the Professor's discovery of a meteorological catastrophe that will wash everyone and everything on the island into the sea. This nonsensical romp is a diamond in the rough compared with the majority of TV reunions which either change the premises, the characterizations or the general tenor. This film gives Gilligan buffs them the same corny characters struggling their way through the same kinds of offbeat situations in their own predictable ways: Gilligan manages to bumble his way through one scene after another, yet make good, only louse up everything in the end; the Skipper, plagued by his first mate's chronic stupidity, brings back his famous "slow burn" while staring into the camera; the Howells crack an endless series of "rich jokes"; Ginger tries to smooch information out of a Gilligan sworn to secrecy; the Professor, the lone voice of reason, continues to rattle on with the same high-flown diction that baffled us all in the '60s; and Mary Ann remains at her prettiest and perkiest. Yet in spite of all the familiarity, it offers an almost disorienting look at the castaways like we've never seen them: off that silly darn island and back to civilization. But the characters remain exactly the same. It's got everything that the critics hated and everything that have made it one of TV's best loved shows. If you've got kids who have seen "Gilligan's Island," but never the rescue, this film is a must -- for you and for them.

Summary: "Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale..." -Superior
Review: This is a great video! Your favorite island castaways are back in their very own full-length motion picture! Join in the fun as the zany characters you've loved for years on Gilligan's Island embark on their wildest, wackiest adventure ever! After living for fifteen years on an uncharted isle, the crew and passengers of the S.S. Minnow are finally rescued. But no one, even the Professor, is ready for the shock they all face as they return to the "cilivized world". So, climb aboard with the crazy crew as they challenge tidal waves, man-eating sharks and foreign spies to return from Gilligan's Island. superiorvideo.com

Summary: It's OK
Review: This made-for-TV movie was okay, but it could have been better. I did not like the replacement of Tina Louise. The person I'm referring to is Judith Baldwin. In this one (She Was in two of the three reunions as Ginger), I felt she overacted.The quality isn't all that great. Many of the castaways had aged so much during the 11 years of not being as their characters in Prime Time, that it looked weird to see Gilligan with hair that was one step away from being gray. Dawn Wells (Mary Ann Summers) I thought performed the best in this reunion.

Summary: A must for all Gilligan fans
Review: This movie is great, but don't buy it for its visual effects. They aren't the greatest. For instance, in one part, where there was evidently a 'cut' Gilligan and Skipper were standing somewhere, and all of a sudden, they moved about a foot over. But it's a great plot and a funny ending. I recommend this movie to all Gilligan fans.

Summary: Gilligan's Island is back, and I LOVE IT!
Review: This movie is so delightfully awful, that it is a bundle of fun! I mean, it is so dumb, that you can't help getting out of it's way! I mean, you will probably loose some brain cells watching it, but who cares! It is fun! They got most of the original cast back (except for Tina Louise) and it was so much fun to watch then back for more! I just wished that they had had a chance to make a few more (even though they did make two more--Harlem Globe Trotters--and Castaways on Gilligan's Island). Watch this movie, because it is a bunch of fun!

Summary: Preety Good
Review: This movie was about the whole crew getting off of the island. All the characters are played by the same actors except The movie Star ( Ginger ) which was very distracting because the replacement was horrible. I would give this five stars only the video stopped half way through and the rest of the tape was blank!

Summary: hatchet job
Review: when i saw this movie on tv back in 78 i loved it! they finally got off the island(then back on it even though it sunk-but that's the humer on Gilligan's Island) but, what they did to this movie was terrible. most of the older movies reproduced on DVD they actually improved on. But, this was terrible. not only did they not improve the picture, but, then they cut out a bunch of parts so the movie would skip and jump. for example when Mrs. Howell suddenly remembers Fifi (their dog) Gilligan is quick (as usual) to say i'll get her and then goes running out the door. but, here right after Mrs Howell say's she left Fifi behind you suddenly see the skipper fighting to go outside! they cut Gilligans running out the door followed by the skipper! and the movies goes on skipping from one scene to another so 1/4 of the movie doesn't make sense but so much is missing. the worst cut-up is originally the castaways got together on the Minow II for a christmas reunion where Mr. Howell gives everyone a box of money. But, once again (they) cut the scene out and suddenly it's the next morning with the castaways on the boat ready for another tour, the bad guys(russian spys) are there trying to get the disc Gilligan is wearing and Gilligan mentions the Box of money. unless someone saw the original version they wouldn't even have a clue what Gilligan ment by the box of money.
so i say what a hatchet job they did on this movie and the stupid thing was was there was no reason (...), but, i tell ya if i had know what they did i would never have bought it.

Summary: I still don't get it
Review: Why didn't Ginger pack a two way radio? I mean she packed a full make-up kit and tons of clothes. And why do Gilligan and the Skipper not have a change of clothes? They were the ones who lived on the boat. This movie makes no sense. And it ends with them getting stuck on the stupid island again. However it's trippy and fun in a mystery science theater sort of way....
