Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Some quite remarkable confrontations between the human cast and wild animals. especially a monster brown Kodiac bear, wolves and even a whale dramatically enliven this sharply paced, realistically acted and directed, stunningly photographed on actual Alaskan locations, modern and up-to-date Swiss Family Robinson.It's a well-constructed film that maintains interest right throughout its running time, despite some cliches of plot and characterization. The director has an eye for the dramatically effective shot, the film editing is delightfully sharp. In fact, all the technical credits throughout are highly professional.What's more, the drama is put across with punch!
This is a great family movie. I watched this movie as a child and loved it. Now my daughter is enjoying it (and so am I second time around). Even though it is a 70s movie it is great to watch something free of drugs & violence. The scenery is a feature with beautiful shots of Alaska. We certainly had a lot of laughs with the exploits of this castaway family and how they survived their adventure in the wilderness. This movie never has a dull moment and you are left wondering what will happen next. I have to say this is the best of Stewart Raffill movies. If you are looking for a good clean cut family movie then this one is for you. Definitely a 10 out of 10 in my book.
Just watched the movie, may have seen it years before. I thought it was entertaining, fun, and worth the time. Great family entertainment, nothing objectionable. The acting was not the best, but they did an ok job. I happen to like boating movies and this was a good one.
This is a GREAT movie! Highly recommended for everyone. I saw this movie as a child and loved it then. Seeing it again, now as a father of two, more than twenty years later; it is STILL a wonderful movie! Today's world is full of harsh news, disrespect, and a hardened society. This is one of those movies that will take you back to a different time when people actually cared about life and each other! I don't understand hendersn75's awful review at all. I live in Alaska. If he knew what it was like to live here, let alone try to film in this environment, I think he would change his mind. I think the cinematography in this film, especially considering being a 70's film, is simply wonderful. This was all done entirely on location, unlike most films of today. If you see this movie and like it, then also check out "The Dove" 1974, a true story. Not as visually stimulating as "Sea Gypsies", but very interesting also.
