Okay, I admit I first wanted to see this movie because I like the way Caitlin Wachs looks in a bikini, but (forgive the pun) there's much more than meets the eye in this sequel to "Eye of the Dolphin."
Originally titled "Way of the Dolphin" and filmed three years ago, taking almost two years to reach a DVD release, it had Carly Schroeder reprising her role as Alyssa. She could've easily played this part as well, but a delayed filming schedule and previous commitments kept her from doing so. I truly wish she had played the part since I consider her a better actor and would've led to better continuity, but that's just a preference, not a criticism.
That being said, this version has a lot more action and a better storyline, since it's more about dolphins than a coming-of-age film like its predecessor. Without giving anything away, it has looks less like a Bahamian travel documentary and more like a your bad- guy-turns-good-and-gets-the-girl Saturday afternoon feature.
The DVD also contains cast interviews and behind the scenes, and a featurette, "Working with Dolphins."
My recommendation is that while it's a decent movie, it's not something that'll hold a kid's attention for very long (or many adults for that matter). As I said, when the main thing that grabs your attention is a girl in a bikini and the movie actually becomes a viable story with some tolerable acting, suffice to say it can't be all bad.
score 7/10
