VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Boodlums I saw The Seventh Continent when I was a child, and really enjoyed it. It is a delightful, fun adventure. I don't remember many specifics anymore, but... oh my God, I think this was my first crush on an Asian girl, where she's so adorably beckoning. LOL. Anyway, the movie's special effects were kind of low tech, but I actually enjoyed that -- kind of like watching Dark Shadows unedited bloopers or discovering how a magician performs a floating trick. This is definitely a movie for children, although adults who've never grown up may enjoy it as well. A Never-never land which feels much closer to home and real. I recommend seeing this movie for fun; just keep the hecklers away.

ritakarl I saw this movie when I was a child and always remembered it - hoping that it would eventually be available to rent or own (still not). It is a marvelous fantasy about a group of children who go to live on an island without any grown-ups. There is a remarkable technique used if I recall for the way they travel. All that remains with me is that it was such a fantastic world that they create for themselves. Let's all keep hoping that someday it will be on VHS. I know that when I read Lord of the Flies I was thoroughly upset because I had seen The Seventh Continent and KNEW that it wouldn't be like that - that children would work out all their problems and live together. There is some magic in the story - but that's perfect.
