    5.0 out of 5 stars Huge Gilligan's Island fan since childhood.

    I remember loving Gilligan's Island as a child but my father thought it silly and didn't really watch all the episodes till as an adult. Recently I purchased all the episodes and watched them in order. That made me want to see the two movies which I had never seen. I began my search on Amazon and found this particular selection to be the least expenisve.

    First I was stunned at the aging of the actors. But soon felt very comfortable with them. I was unable to warm up to the new actress playing Ginger as she just couldn't pull Ginger off to my satisfaction.

    Yes it is a bit silly but it was a fun watch. No the quality of the DVD was not the best but I didn't expect Blu-Ray quality for this price. I seldom watch movies more than one time so I wasn't concerned with the quality and durability. Hope to find a copy of "Return to Gilligan's Island" that is comparable in value.

    FYI am not a Smother's Brothers fan and did not watch their movie nor do I intend to.

    Well they finally did it they got RESCUED just as clever as the series was but what was missing was Tina Louise (The Original Ginger) it just wast not the same without her, but not to take away from Judith Baldwin who did a wonderful job playing Ginger, but still there were lots of laughs and was good to see them all again and once again they just could not help themselves and went on another 6 hour cruise and got OH NO SHIPWRECK again, what a LAUGH, I also gave this full marks as I said was very entertaining with a lot of laughs I would recommend this Movie to anyone who liked to series.

    Not quite as good a quality video, but was worth watching to catch up on the castaways. I knew Tina Louise refused to do this film, but the actress they got to portray Ginger was almost as good.

    OK, so the audio isn't perfect. This was a great finish to the series we all enjoyed back in the 60's. I remember seeing this on TV back in 1978 but I couldn't remember all the scenes so this was a great refresher. Too bad every good sitcom we loved that got yanked before a series finale could be written couldn't have a follow up to end like this does. And I can appreciate this DVD even more since there are only two cast members left out of the original series. So glad they made this film while they were all still with us.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money. Definitely NOT remastered!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2005

    I saw all the bad reviews here, and because of Amazon's confusing policy of posting reviews for ALL the various DVD editions of a particular movie together on the same page, I thought that they must all be referring to the older version that sells for 5 bucks.

    When I read Amazon's description for the new 2004 edition released by Westlake Entertainment Group, it said "Format: Original recording remastered, Color, Digital Sound". So I thought this must be a new version nobody had dared to try out yet due to all the negative reviews, and went ahead and forked out the extra 10 bucks to try it.

    Well, I'm here to warn you that about the only thing accurate about Amazon's description is that the movie is in colour (faded, yellowed, scratched colour, yes). Although the DVD package claims it has Dolby, the sound is terribly muffled and clearly NOT Dolby quality at all. And NOWHERE on the package does it say anything about being remastered. I don't know where Amazon got this crazy idea, because this company obviously has never even heard of the word "remastered". The picture quality is terrible and the film itself is in very lousy shape.

    As for the movie, although it's a key piece in the Gilligan story, unfortunately the writing really drags. You'll find yourself wanting to hit the fast-forward a lot. And with the exception of Mary Ann and maybe Mrs. Howell, it seems that in the intervening years the others have gotten out of practice and forgotten how to act, as they deliver their lines in a very lame and flat way. I found myself missing the brilliant non-stop comedic punch of the original series, as a lot of the comedy here instead seems very awkward and forced, and just falls on its face. Also there is a new Ginger, and while she does do a pretty good job of looking the part, she hasn't mastered Tina Louise's breathy, sexy way of delivering the lines.

    So overall I feel like I wasted a lot of good money on a garbage-quality DVD of a very lame movie I probably won't want to watch again. Over the past year I've been stung so many times by el cheap-o outfits putting out shoddy DVDs like this that I am getting so fed up I'm seriously thinking of stopping buying DVDs altogether! I think the industry has got to start setting some standards for quality and policing itself or something. The situation right now is ridiculous! Till then, all we can do is withhold our hard-earned $$$.

    So anyway, you have been warned, so don't let them rip YOU off this time too!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not Great

    We own all three seasons of the Gilligan's Island TV series. My 8-yr-old fell in love with the show this summer and is on her 4th round of watching them. She kept asking if they were ever rescued, so ..... The storyline was good, but not great. The cast was wonderful, but not quite the same without Tina Louise. The TV movie tried to bring a resolution to the "Gilligan's Island" series by having the castaways rescued and try to resume their lives back into "civilization" after being marooned for 15 years. Unfortunately, they were shipwrecked again on the same island. Fate perhaps, or trying to restart the series? I was a little disappointed by the "restored" version of the film, but it may be better than the non-restored version. The crisp, digital quality wasn't there, and there seemed to be some glitches in different places. I'm not sure if that was caused by the original 70's film being old and spliced, or mediocre restoration services. They may have done the best they could. The cover is deceptive as Judith Baldwin, not Tina Louise, played Ginger in this movie. Still, if you're a Gilligan's Island fan, it's a nice addition to your collection.
