The Blue Lagoon and Return to the Blue Lagoon (Double Feature)

Customer Reviews:

Not a bad deal for the price!.......2007-05-12

The first movie is a good one for a rainy afternoon. The second one is nothing but a rehashed version of the first. But for the price it is featured at on Amazon I won't complian.

best double feature of the year !!!.......2006-11-05

These are two of the best movies that I've purchased this year..

If you need a movie to fill a void of brook shield this will do.

'Blue Lagoon'/'Return To The Blue Lagoon'(Columbia Tristar).......2005-03-12

I give it 2 1/2 stars.The first movie,the 1980 sappy tear-jerker should be seen with a female that you're either trying to impress or someone you're already involved with.I thought the original was okay.Plenty of beautiful scenic shots and decent job of acting by the two teens(that were ship wrecked years earlier)that are in love.Richard(Chistopher Atkins)and Emmeline(Brook Shields)experience a life together that is nearly impossible in the real world.Some nice nude scenes from(what I assume)to be a stand in for Shields.The sequel 'Return To...' (1991)I thought was a complete waste of time and trouble.Didn't even come close to standing up to the first film.Upside is it comes with the original,anyway.

It took 11 years for the sequel to The Blue Lagoon to materialize. In the naturalistic, romanticized world conjured by the films, however, one begins where the other ended. Although Emmeline and Richard die at sea, their son is rescued by a passing ship and taken in by widowed mother Sarah (Lisa Pelikan). When the crew comes down with cholera, Sarah leaves the ship with daughter Lilli and Richard Jr. They wash up on a familiar island in the South Pacific--the "blue lagoon" of the earlier film. Sarah raises the urchins as best she can but succumbs to illness after a few years on the island. The story line then echoes that of the original film. The cute kids become attractive teenagers (model-turned-actress Milla Jovovich and Brian Krause) and friendship turns to wariness, eventually blossoming into love. That love is tested when they're--finally--granted the opportunity to return to civilization. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

This lagoon isn't too deep.......2007-07-25

It took 11 years for a sequal to Blue Lagoon to come out. Why there would or could ever be a sequal, I don't really know. The first was more overtly sensual and raw than this one could have been, but, it is, after all, the same movie with different actors.

The son of Richard and Em, RIchard Jr., is rescued at sea when his parents (Christopher Atkins and Brooke Shields) were attempting to leave their island home and died drifting on their boat. The rescuing ship sinks, and a woman with Richard Jr. and her daughter, Lilly, will be marooned on an island in the South Pacific. The woman dies soon after of illness, and Richard and Lilly are left alone on the island, to relive just what Brooke and Chris did in the first movie.

I wonder why they felt they had to make a sequal to a movie like Blue Lagoon. Once the story was over, it was just over. How could the story continue and why did it have to? I would have liked to see Richard Jr. be taken back to civilization and lead a civilized life. THAT would be something. And Richard Jr. and Lilly look just like their predecesors, and have every experience they had. The only exception to this was the inclusion of the mother figure at the beginning on the island. Here it was established that they learned some social, language, and survival skills from her, making their long existence on the island alone a little more believable.

Even the scenery wasn't as beuatiful as the first one's, but it was still wonderful. Who wouldn't want a sandy beach for just a day or two to lounge about on? And with a handsome man at that. But it's just fluff.

Worst Case of Sequel Gone Bad, I've Ever Seen........2007-03-20

I recently rented both of these movies at the same time. Big mistake. Obviously, the sequel was never meant to be seen in the company of the original.
how can a serious screenplay writer ever even think to end the 1st movie one way, and re-write the 2nd move to completely discount that 1st ending?

Given the storyline and the writing of it, you can't blame the actors, but the writers.
Brian Krause and the rest of the cast did a great job with what they had to work with; a badly written storyline with too much of the same thing as the original.

There was not enough difference in it to make it worth watching.
huge disappointment.

A good way to pass an afternoon.......2006-12-06

I really liked this movie. I found it suspenseful, and romantic. In fact this was my favorite of the two. Lilli & richard had a wedding ceremony, that i loved, and I think this movie showed more actual "love" than the first, Between brooke and chris, I think it was more about curiosity and hormones. not to say that i didnt like the first, but naysayers should at least give this movie a chance. you just may be surprised

not much of a storyline.......2006-06-29

not much storyline but if you like milla alot like i do this show is a must.She is simply gorgeous in this movie.Also the location where this movie is filmed is the kind of island locale we'd all like to be shipwrecked(with milla of course).

Why?.......2006-01-01

I saw the Blue Lagoon when I was 13 it was risque, the acting was not the best but Brooke was a top model and Chris was gorgeous,I didn't even know that a second movie had been made. I was shopping came across it and bought it thinking, "wow part 2 maybe they survived and finally made it do san frocisco". Boy was I disappointed, Milla is gorgeous she makes Brooke look like and ugly stepsister, Bruce although not as handsome as Chris looked ok. But the acting just like the first was horrible. This movie was made just to show off some young hot bodies. It's a rip off of the original but done with less artistic integrity. At least the first movie was gorgeous, pure you felt as if the two kids were truely discovering themselves and each other. This one they are just reading lines from a page. Why was this made?
