I was mostly disappointed. I seen the first 2 movies about 20 times each from when I was younger. Probably too young to have been watching them. My opinions are strictly based on what I expect from a Blue Lagoon movie. 1. Trinidad really? Should have been the same island as originals, more realistic someone could be lost in the South Pacific. 2. A little PG but I can forgive that. 3.The boat scene was a dumb idea. No one should have had a clue as to what may have happened. Otherwise they should have been found, there aren't that many islands off Trinidad that they wouldn't have found them by looking. 4. Throwing up but not pregnant. Anyone who has seen the originals was probably expecting that. The pregnancy & impending child is a big part in the story's ending. Original- baby causes them to end up adrift in boat. Baby eats bad berries, parents eat them to die with baby. baby doesn't die. 2nd- Baby from 1 is found w/ dead parents. Baby grows up back on island. He & girl decides not to leave island to protect impending baby from civilized world. I'm left to wonder what decisions a modern day young couple would do. I think this was to avoid the whole complicated world of teen pregnancy, especially in their return but to make it good they cant be chicken poo about getting in dirty waters. They should have had the kid & went to some interesting place about it if found. The odds of a non-sexually active teen being on any birth control unlikely, also I don't think sex was part of her plans until him. 5. They were found way too quickly. They should have been found a year or more later if at all. 6. Too much focus on the parents. Some parts can be tolerated but it was excessive. 7. This movie was missing some of my fav things about Blue Lagoon. The strong connection of the characters. The old characters seemed a lot smarter. They built whole houses and great survival skills. I wished they called it something else & let someone who thought over the bar take this on. I could have done a better job lol, but really.
