Great Picture and Message, Saturday, 18 October 2008

Great picture quality -- after all, it was shot in HD and 16mm. Also, outstanding surfing, which I can't fail to mention. But note: there is only short-boarding, that is, really good short-boarding. And there are some incredible waves as well. The footage of Teahupoo is killer. And here is the point of the whole thing: the environmental message. So, there you have it: good surf and green message presented in a great fashion.

The downside: the soundtrack. If I got it right, there were some curse words here and there, which bummed me out. For the feature could be a good educational film for the young, but the language in the music undermines that use.
