Too much of everything
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
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!
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.
Beautiful scenery, romantic and just enough action. A Seattle yachtsman, his two daughters, a stowaway and a young reporter are stranded on an Alaskan island. At times a little too "touchy, feely", but a tender and warm family flick. Robert Logan is convincing as the cool dad and Miki Jamison-Olsen is very good as the reporter. Rescuing a caribou is tender, while the salmon catching scene is a relaxed frolic. Scenes of the natural wildlife are wonderful. Nothing here to really cause you any stress...sit back, relax and enjoy.
