The new film lacks the glowing cinematography of Néstor Almendros, who was nominated for an Oscar for "The Blue Lagoon." But under the direction of Mikael Salomon and Jake Newsome, The Awakening offers occasional honest moments of humor and adolescent angst.

The actors playing the BL:TA duo are healthy and wholesome, if not terribly expressive; perhaps the matter is that both are Australian, and it's all they can do to keep their accents under control. Or maybe it's that both are fluent in English, and it's all they can do to keep from cracking while reading their dialogue.

Everything about this feels like a teenagers wet dream. "The Awakening", hmm....what? Both incredibly attractive people stuck on a beautiful island after they school trip goes horribly wrong. While stranded, both of them fall in love with each other and later have sex (off-screen). By the way, one of the coolest school trips ever. I mean, a Caribbean field trip? Why can't I have this is the UK when I was in school? I can't believe this launch the career of Brenton Thwaites, because he's pretty terrible in everything I've seen him in, especially in this movie.
