Waste of time...

Another dodgy Bermuda Triangle-focused TV movie of the 1990s. I saw LOST IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE recently, and that was pretty bad, but this is even worse; a non-existent sci-fi premise turns out to be the set-up for a twee storyline involving an annoyingly bratty kid and his native counterpart, with lots of lame melodrama and TV soap-style stuff along the way.

Your usual irritating all-American family find themselves stranded on a deserted island with a bunch of other no-hopers and must learn to adapt their lifestyle accordingly. A pre-fame Naomi Watts is a young buxom blonde love interest while Jerry Hardin (Deep Throat from THE X-FILES) shows up as a grizzled old-timer who was shot down over the island during the Second World War!

Nothing much happens, leaving this a film with an extremely slow pace and very little incident. The script is very poor indeed, with few to no likable characters and way too much padding with kids swimming around with dolphins and the like. It's all rather hopeless, I'm afraid.
