(03 September 2010)Platitudes about nature loom large and trite. Surfer-dude, nature-boy, free-spirit types with a camera crew take a vacation and yammer about crass commercialization and hatred of the consuming middle class. These outdoor types are just as boring as their bourgeois businessmen counterparts. Any IMAX travelogue is a better bet than this sermonizing vanity project. unbelievable! (01 September 2010)I just got done watching this movie, and I am truly inspired by the things that are in it. A lot of work went into this and it has tons of amazing insights and footage! watch this movie and be amazed Help save our planet! (25 August 2010)I purchased this dvd because of the ppl in it. The story was an added plus. I have always hated those Christian Network commercials that ask you to give .24 a day to some kid in some foreign country... that said i now see why taking care of our planet and places like Pataongia is super important. I still say we need to fix the problems in our own country before sending money out to others but that doesnt mean we cant do our part to help save the land and environment. Perfect... (20 August 2010)This is a great movie that really captures the spirit of the journey that it documents. Before you see it try to find "Mountain of Storms", the trip this one recreates, and it will make you appreciate 180 S that much more. Nicely choreographed inspiration (18 August 2010)The story behind this story, Chouinard's original adventure down to south America is hard to copy given that the geographical and political environment has changed so much, and the filmmakers deviated significantly from the path but ends up in pretty much the same spot. I find the story from Jeff's adventure to be quite loosely tied into Chouinard's and rather a choreographed docu about the alternative route. Images and scenery is spectacular, but I did not find the emotional impact to penetrate too deep. Maybe that is a good thing for me, but I did expect to be find myself wanting to pursue my own adventures to a greater extent because of this film, but that is not the result. What it did achieve was to make me more curious about Rapa Nui and Patagonia as travel destination. |
