This is the way to do it movie people.
This is what the internet has been complaining about for a decade or more.
Bought it for $12.
It's HD.
They store it for me.
Started watching instantly (I've paused while I write this and pour a drink, review later).
Great flick - sort of.
Boujjy's bit was great. Jeez he goes hard! That Camile Juban kid is pretty awesome too.
quite hypnotic in parts , some filler and twaddle in there too.
Looks like a winner in terms of format / revenue / price point / convenience .
I think the best segments are the bits that weren't shot in Maui. Unfortunately I have to say it's getting a bit boring watching people ride the same wave over and over again. Don't get me wrong. I don't think Hookipa is a boring place.
The issue is that most footage of Hookipa is essentially filmed from one of two locations. You see it in every product video and brochure. The same goes for the contest footage of Gran Canaria.
That's why it's great to see other locations like the Caribbean or Morocco for a change. It also would have been nice if they expanded the sailor portraits a bit more and showed their back story.
