Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

JohnHowardReid 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!

ssepper 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.

jaybabb The best way to describe this film would be that it has a first rate story, second rate acting and third rate production values. What do you expect from a late 70's film? You can line up "Rollercoaster" & "Scavenger hunt" along the edge as well-what you see is what you get.This is a good story, it's just isn't executed very well. This would be a better movie if they have good production values-it just doesn't. I was never crazy about Robert Logan from "Wilderness Family" fame. Isn't any wonder why he isn't well known?A family attempts a voyage around the world on a sail boat-that run into trouble-you guessed it-A storm and they are shipwrecked. Do I need say more?I enjoy this movie on a rainy day when I want pass 1 hour & 40 minutes or so of time.

party_girl_81 I think this is a great children's movie. I enjoyed this movie when I was five and I still enjoy it today. The movie has a little bit if everything in it, excitement, danger, romance, comedy etc. I think the acting was very good. The scenery was beautiful. There were a lot of fun scenes in the movie. I like the part when they are trying to catch the salmon and the scene where the dad lets the deer free. It is definitely a movie I would recommend for young children. It was very enjoyable without sex, drugs and violence.
