Review: The berries made them sleep not die!! Has anyone seen the end of this movie!!! I can't believe they even tried to make a sequel to this especially one that mirrored the first and killed the parents off when they never died in the first!!

Review: The best thing about this movie and worth watching is seeing the very hot Brian Krausse! He has no shirt, very attractive, sadly little nudity for his part of the film. A must if you like looking at Krausse who is a handsome babe!

Summary: Not as good as the original
Review: The first Blue Lagoon was daring and a bit controversial. It showed two children growing up without adults in their lives, growing up without inhibitions, without guidance, and learning some fundamental truths without help. It dared to show full-frontal nudity (carefully!) because that seemed natural. It had the courage to confront things like child birth for child-adults who had no idea of what was going on. That's some of what makes it a classic film, one which holds up even today.
This film, for all that it is a sequel, comes across as a revisionist attempt to "clean up" the original. It starts where the previous film left off, with a small boat being seen by a sailing vessel. Unlike the end of the previous film, where all three occupants of the boat are pronounced alive, in this film the parents are dead, and only the child survives. He is taken aboard the sailing vessel and entrusted to the care of a recently widowed woman who has an infant daughter. The woman, Sarah Hargreaves (Lisa Pelikan), and the two children, are cast adrift in a lifeboat a short while later because the ship is infected with cholera (a virtual death sentence for all aboard) - they are cast adrift in the hope they may survive. By pure happenstance (alright, by a piece of not-very-clever script-writing) they happen to arrive at an island that is supposed to look awfully familiar.
This time the children grow up with Sarah to teach them right and wrong, and all about God (she was a missionary), and so forth (all the things that were "wrong" in the first version). Eventually Sarah contracts pneumonia and dies, but not before she has time to explain how she'd like to be buried. Time passes and we get to see the new teenagers, Lilli (Milla Jovovich) and Richard (Brian Krause - best known as Leo in the TV show Charmed) doing the same sorts of things as we saw in the first film.
All in all, I cannot recommend this poor-quality remake. Buy the original, certainly, but leave this one sitting on the shelf. Perhaps the one good reason to watch this film is as an object lesson, to see what the original film could have been like, had the makers not taken the risks that they did.

Summary: Sophomoric Softcore
Review: While the original "Blue Lagoon" movie was hardly great cinema, this remake of a "sequel" is even shlockier, sappier, and cornier than the original... Brian Krause ("Charmed") is often embarrassing (ie his ongoing antagonism with a shark), but no so much as Mila Jovavich's pouting, simpering delivery. No doubt popular with the baby-sitting teenybopper set, who most likely find the idea of being shipwrecked on a desert island with a "cute boy" the height of romance. Perhaps they could lobby for a part three starring Britney Spears & Justin Timberlake...

Summary: Pretty Lame
Review: Yeah, they died. They all died. The old salt had warned them the berries were poison and to never eat them. The toddler ate them first - then mom and dad decided to eat some to - so they could all go together.

Now a sequel where the toddler who ate the poisonous berries DIDN'T die.

Boo!
