The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

in the role of dr. Christiansen. this is one of the pillars of the film. then, the bodies of two Australian teenagers losted out of civilisation, different one by other, becoming parts of a seductive love story. and, sure, the end. risky but useful for save a teenager story who could be a large collection of clichés and stereotypes. so, a nice film. easy to criticize, not bad for the mixture of classic themes. and for the tricks. because it has the nice idea to conquest different categories of public. the nostalgic of The Blue Lagoon from 1980 for the presence in the cast of Christopher Atkins. the admirers of the sequel from 1991 for the beautiful new level of story. but the target remains the Facebook generation. and this is the motif to not ignore a film who reflects the spirit of a circle of young people who defines his identity step by step.

The awakening is 51st another lose remake trying to copy the originality and fresh feel of the first of two teenagers falling in love.A modern day retelling has Emma and Dean on a high school trip aboard seas. Already the plot seems out there as Natlie Holloway had gone missing in the Bahamas five years earlier and all future school trips like this were banned.While the other events are completely ignored and we seen the same experiences before it didn't really pick up until the rescue from the search part.Brooke Sheilds and Christopher Atkins making guest appearances as A parent to each child.Emma being a popular girl, well Dean's not, tries to push her feelings aside and go on with her life like nothing happened. More of a stretch is that Dean was the masculine sexy broading type who wouldn't be so uncool or a girl would be ashamed to take home to mama.The theme I liked explored here that was touched on in the sequel was you never knew if the couples belonged together or its a matter of convince.Dean and Emma chose each other at the end based on mural attractions and inner self they learned about one another in a secured space.It was more enjoyable then return and felt this was the follow up we've been waiting for.8/10

Okay, I am a little bit embarrassed to be reviewing this film, but I read some other reviews, and I wanted to point out some elements I noticed.I caught this movie by accident one morning when I happened to have a day off. I was just flipping channels when it came on. When I saw what it was, I decided to leave it on while I did other things.What surprised me about the film was the arc for Indiana Evans' character, Emma. While much of the movie was silly, the dialog between the two leads seemed honest in the context of the story and the characters. They actually talked to and got to know one another. Also, unusual for a Lifetime movie, Emma actually takes joy and pleasure in her own sexuality. That the character (not the actor) is a teenager makes for a slightly subversive moment in an otherwise formulaic film.Emma is also the one who misunderstands Dean when they return home, which is nice, as often men are portrayed as misinterpreting signals, and instead Emma misunderstands Dean. Emma and her sister also have a great moment that passes the Bechtel test, in that they do not talk about the men in their lives, but each other. The movie has problems, but the acting is not one of them. I think the two leads are quite good with the material, and they make their characters work despite some obvious holes in the plot. The movie's island scenes were also beautifully filmed. The eponymous lagoon is particularly lovely.Not a spectacular film, but it had a few surprises.

I was in a chick flick mood, so I chose to watch this movie. I knew with in the first two minutes that I wasn't going like it. I watched it anyways(mostly because the main actor 'dean' is hot). The acting was hard to get passed because a lot of the lines felt forced. Seriously the acting in Dirty Dancing and Twilight were better. The only thing I was impressed with was the similarity in looks the leading actress had to the original Blue Lagoon film and to Denise Richards, which I believe is the only reason they picked her to star. Save your self the palm to the forehead slap and watch something else more worth your time.
