Oh Come On...., Jun 12 2006
This review is from: Rescue from Gilligan's Island (DVD)
Yeah the D.V.D. edititing is poor and the quality isn't A+ but honestly it isn't that noticble! The movie is a fun reunion! It's great to see all of the castaway's back together again! Ovcourse their's the exception of Tina Louise who played Ginger , but Judith Baldwin isn't to shabby herself!
The skip's are hardly noticable and rare. One is where Gilligan and Skipper are siting down with all the fan's cheering for their return , and a Ice-cream cone apear's out of nowhere in Gilligan's hand. Big Deal! Im sure it was only a 10-15 second skip anyway's! It dousnt reack the flow of the film.
The best performance had to go to Dawn Wells playing Mary-Ann. You couldnt tell she aged! However to me the fun of seeing a reunion movie is seeing the actor's aged up a little. Gilligan (Bob Denver) is still charming and funny , but you can see his gray hair!
The movie is pretty much what you would expect for it's title. They get rescued and when they get back have trouble fitting in to the new world. A good plot but nothing genious.
The movie is nothing brilliant ovbiously but it's a cute fun watch. Don't let negative review's change your mind about buying! All they are doing is complaining about little , little editing problems!
Recomended for any Gilligan's Island fan.
Cheers!

Gilligan and Company are finally rescued, May 28 2002
This review is from: Rescue from Gilligan's Island (DVD)
The popular sixties sitcom Gilligan's Island has it's special and final episode on TV. I've watched this show on TBS when I was seven and eight with my mother. It was something to watch besides scooby. A great Discovery.

Rescue from Gilligan's Island, Oct 26 2010
I gave this movie an OK. I have the original series box set on DVD and the last episode just leaves you "hanging" not knowing if they get rescued or not so I had to get this one.
Here's why I gave it an "OK":
The picture quality of this DVD seemed to be that of VHS tape. The colours were washed out a bit and there were scratches and stuff from the film to DVD transfer. And there was a film frame or two missing. The sound track needs cleaning up too. It was noisy and muffled in spots. This DVD would look better on an old 19inch colour TV.
As for the movie content there is no "Laugh Track" or "Canned Laughter" as there was in the TV series. It just doesn't seem right without it. Not the original "Ginger" of course and all the actors were older. This is the first time I've seen this movie but it was just as predictable as the original TV series. And not the same without the original Ginger. Still...it's worth a watch. You know, they have to get rescued sometime.
