Genre: Adventure
Director: William A. Graham
Cast: Milla Jovovich, Brian Krause, Lisa Pelikan, Courtney Barilla, Garette Ratliff Henson, Emma James, Jackson Barton, Nana Coburn, Brian Blain, Peter Hehir
The Blue Lagoon has been devoid of inhabitants, except for mean natives, since the original "The Blue Lagoon," but now the widowed Sarah (Lisa Pelikan)–with an infant girl and a young boy (the son of the earlier settlers)–lands on shore in a boat that was set adrift. The boy (Brian Krause) and girl (Milla Jovovich) grow into adulthood, overcoming the elements alone after Sarah died while they were both young. They even survive the intrusion of outsiders in this sub-par film, though the scenery is good.
