Richard and Emmeline Lestrange die leaving their son Paddy as the sole survivor. The rescue ship is overwhelmed with suspected cholera. Mr. Kearney, Mrs. Sarah Hargrave with her daughter Lilli, and Paddy renamed Richard are cast off in the lifeboat. Kearney threatens the toddlers and Sarah kills him. The trio ends up back at the original island. After Sarah's death, Lilli (Milla Jovovich) and Richard (Brian Krause) are left to themselves.The story gymnastics are annoying as heck to make the sequel basically a repeat of the original. I'm sure anybody would be laughing with derision at the silly plot repeat. The original has the possibility of being a guilty pleasure. This is an unforgivable embarrassment for anybody who actually likes the sequel. I have nothing against the two young actors. Milla obviously has more acting abilities than the usual model. However, there is simply no point to this sequel for an unworthy franchise.

The first Blue Lagoon ended with Richard and Em being found by his father alive where as in this 1 they're found by someone else and only Paddy survives and that bothered me just a little bit. It was cool to see what they can do with the knowledge Richard and Em didn't have. I felt like this 1 was missing something that the first 1 had but I like that it did continue. However, all that being said, this was still a good movie, worth the watch but my least favorite out of the 3 movies. Acting is good. I bought this on ITunes and I really wanted to rent and it didn't have that option. After watching I still wish I could have rented. It's not so good that I want to keep watching. I could watch the 1st 1 over and over again. Can this be made for rent somewhere, though it doesn't do me any good now?

The two from the first are dead(...well, that's a bummer), discovered by a ship. Soon after a woman is sent away from it with her infant daughter and the son that did survive sequelitis, and the three end up on an island paradise(and yes, we do get nice photography of the exotic setting, and it's one of the few pluses in this). After half of this passes at an utterly drab pace, the mother dies and we get what I understand is essentially a remake of the original(which I have not watched, and I also have not read any of the books), and lesser. And the last 25 minutes, because the people behind this don't dare let the two leads be by themselves, "civilization" in the form of a seductive girl and unappealing sailors arrives and have us questioning... who are the true savages in this? That admittedly is somewhat interesting, if ill-executed. This can be pretty moralizing at times, and it awkwardly goes back and forth between making fun of Christianity and trying to promote it. There is some realism to dialog and gender roles, if they are also stereotypical. The attempts at comedy tend to be lame and ineffective, with a few exceptions. There is some tension. The acting is fine. I like Krause even if he isn't the greatest talent, and Milla, in addition to being cute, hot, beautiful, stunning and so many other similar terms(you can probably tell why I gave this 90-some minutes of my life) is a quite decent actress, and was back then. There is a bit of sensuality and a little nudity in this. The DVD comes with trailers for both of these. I recommend this to those who want the visuals, be it the location or, like yours truly, Jovovich. 5/10

WARNING: I advise anyone who has not seen the film yet to not read this comment.Okay, let me start off by saying that I absolutely loved The Blue Lagoon and the only reason I gave this the rating I gave it is for their effort. Yes, I could tell they actually put in an effort to make this a satisfying sequel, but sadly failed.Well, I'm going to start with the beginning. I like how they began where the first one left off by finding Richard and Em dead floating in the boat along with baby Paddy who survived, though they had been in a completely different looking boat, not laying on their stomachs, had been found by completely different looking people and the people who found them's boat looked completely different, but still, they made an effort. On into where Lilli, Richard (Paddy) and Sarah are shipwrecked. I like how they showed them finding the home Em and Richard inhabitant from the first film, though if I recall the house was on the beach not half-way into the woods and the inside looked (using this word again) completely different, but still, I loved how the movie actually gave an effort. Also, I liked how they gave an effort to make Sarah a more compelling parent figure as Paddy was in the first and they actually accomplished that, I felt a little sad when she died and I did not care one bit when Paddy did.Well, then the rest of the film goes on and we see Lilli and Richard grow up. From then on out until about the last 20 or so minutes of the film are left, it is the exact same as the first! Nothing is new except the cast! Since this is rated PG-13 and the first was rated R, you get no actual compelling feelings and scenes as you did in the first, such as, in this you do not get to see the sex scene or any sex scene that leads up to their baby, when you did in the first and it made the film more touching and beautiful. The last 20 or so minutes as I said, they tried something new, and gave an effort by adding to the movie that people actually found the castaways on the island this time. I hated this change. Not because I hated the idea, they just went about it all wrong. So these people are landing on this island that isn't even on the map, as one of the passengers stated, why, the movie did not say. The idea that a very lady-like and civilized daughter would fall in love with this guy she just saw for the very first time on an island who has no interest in her at all and is uncivilized is very stupid and the idea that one of the crew members will deliberately chase Richard across the island to try and kill him just because they were what, in a fight, is stupid.At the very end, there is a baby born which you do not care about at all in any way because the film spent absolutely no time at all on showing it grow up whatsoever, which they did in the first, and then it goes off. I have wrote so much and spilled my heart out about this sequel because I absolutely fell in love with the first and I thought this was very, very disappointing. Like I said, I didn't give this a lower rating because it actually does manage to entertain at a lot of points and the actors captured their parts rather well, I guess. As you can obviously tell by now, I thought they gave an effort at trying too and I found that respectable, but overall this was totally unnecessary and just left me wanting so much more. It makes the first look like a goldmine, which it already was a masterpiece anyway...
