With it's limited budget for that time and near-unrecognizable cast (Lockhart and Beymer are about your best bet), this was a pilot for a show that obviously wasn't picked up.Many people compare it to Lost, and some seem to want to conclude this is an imitation of Lost (created over a dozen years before Lost?) The lineup wasn't bad. Kathy Ireland as a model, a few kids, concerned parents and grownups, villain in Beymer and some very attractive ladies along, including Kathy Ireland.As we know from the Star Trek pilot, had the show been picked up, nearly this entire cast could have been rehauled (and more than likely several would have bowed out).Growing sorely disenchanted with Lost as it progressed, I do remember this movie airing and it is fun to go back and watch it on youtube.Harmless entertainment, and yes, it IS entertaining.

this was a TV Pilot that was before its time. A story that gave flight to a thousand possibilities, yet to the unimaginative was maybe to Crebral for them to fathom maybe... The premise: a group of mix-mashed crossrefrences of modern day life are Stranded deadlocked on a Island that is not on any maps and not a soul even knows that it is here... Now all of them, not only have to traverse the mystery of just who each of them actually are, but before it is too late they must Figure the right way through the Unknown Depths of an Island in which the Nightmarish truths are about to be unearthed on a Island known only as "MK:NAOMI"excerpt: a gov cover-up a Experiment Island in which Failed Experiment Plague the Traditional Loin cloth wearing Inhabitintes have to overcome If you sleep.... hope you have a happy dream Pray Hard it is not a scary one or you might think it really is real really ... cause on this island your nightmares are reality oh and one other thing be careful what you eat oh and think before you open the door...or like the Hero you could be a little green under the gills ...wait hell ya might have gills ... in fact this show was so good i remembered it and thought LOST was the culmination of it coming back...OH well...

Whenever you rent or buy what you know to be a low-budget sci-fi movie, which you've never heard of, you always expect to get a little ripped off. Surprisingly, and gladly, that did not happen in this case.The acting was good, the location was well chosen, it was well filmed, a decent amount of action, the plot was stretchy but feasible, tension was maintained, and it was nice to June Lockhart doing what she does best, being a mom.It would have made a good TV series.My only question is: Where was the electricity coming from?5 out of 10 stars.

When this TV movie made its debut, the trailer (and the montage behind the end credits) made a lot of Kathy Ireland's appearance in a swimsuit. Enough said. (That, and the fact that early on she can't believe someone tells her and other models to "Make those bikinis sing!" If even the characters in the film can't believe their dialogue...)
