Summary: It is what it intends to be...
Review: ...which is a historic session in the Mentawais featuring some of the world's best surfers - Slater, Machado, Dorian et al - and some great grooves from Greyboy, Jack, G Love and more.No it's not long - but I've probably spent hours watching this footage over and over. It's a cut above the typical "extreme sports" crap that dubs a second rate speed metal soundtrack over a choppy edit of some mediocre cutbacks. Instead you get beautiful 16mm footage following these guys right down the barrel and a soundtrack that is as fluid and smooth as the waves. The disc has some bonus stuff including commentaries, bonus footage and a "Making of" that aired on television. It easily extends the content to at least an hour or more. The commentaries are actually worth a listen and you may actually learn a thing or two from some of these guys. No it's not a plot-driven pop piece like Blue Crush and it's not the Bruce/Dana Brown zeitgeist stuff. It's great music, great waves, and great surfers doing their thing...

Summary: Nice for the Price
Review: As an (ex-)surfer who has been landlocked for the past 12 years I look for my beach fix anywhere I can get it. This movie is sweet, the waves are PERFECT, and the music is not bad. It is what it says it is - SURFING - no story, no plot, just pure, clean fun. The movie is short (about 30 minutes), but also has additional "rights" and "lefts" footage in the bonus materials. I work long hours and I'm usually asleep before I can finish a long movie. This is just long enough to take my mind off the day and still have a few minutes to see my wife before I pass out. Highly recommended.

Summary: September Session
Review: Buy it! If you want great surfing footage, a really good soundtrack and some of the best surfers/waves in the world, then buy it. This is a surf movie, not a drama! Buy it for the stoke, not the story (there isn't one and there shouldn't be)!

Summary: blueroom
Review: good movie though it was a little short. The technical aspects are amazing with great cinematography. I enjoyed it thoroughly except for the parts where rob Machado tries to get all zen-like and use large words that he has know idea how to use. Put a muzzle on that man and this movie's a great one.

Summary: Not as good as it gets!
Review: I have viewed several surf movies, and I guess I was expecting to get pumped on this one. Several reviews were right on the money since it is a very laid back movie. Too short. If your looking for short and just ok, this is it.

Summary: Not really a MOVIE, a short film
Review: I thought this was excellent for what it was. The surfing and filming was top notch. All aspects this was done very well FOR A VERY SHORT FILM.I would not call this a movie. I would call it a great short documentary that leaves you wanting more. Especially because it was done so well I wanted ALOT MORE. The picture quality and sound is fine. The only disapointment I have with this dvd is that it was not worth the price for what length (less than 30mins.) you get. For the same price as any other dvd out there you get ALOT less film and time spent watching. Fans of Jack Johnson will no doubt have to have this on dvd but the result (for me anyways) left me wanting to see ALOT more, and I especially wanted more for the "regular price" I paid to see this dvd. Even thought the quality of filming of this short documentary was spectacular, atleast with the Brown productions, Mav Surfer, and Laird White Knuckle productions you get more lenghty films and bang (more surfing) for you buck in my opinion.

Summary: What- it is over already??
Review: I was prepared to really like this film. The guys at the local surf shop recommended it to my wife and it appeared under the Christmas tree. About half way through, I noticed that the credits were rolling by...hmmm. that is strange, credits in the middle of the film...
There is a lot of good surfing in this film, especially by Machado, who makes it look soo effortless. Most of the other surfers are far less smooth and lack style. Some are rather brutish in surf form = not pleasant to watch. There is no plot. Only a little lame dialog. And it is all over before you know it.
Stick with the Endless Summer, or just go to the beach instead.

Summary: The Soul of Surfing on Film
Review: I've watched many surf films, but this is my all-time favorite. No other film catches surfing's essence so beautifully and effectively: the communion with nature, the incredible good fortune of finding the perfect wave, and the beauty of making complex moves look simple and fluid. Slater is in his element, and Jack Johnson's soundtrack (both original and selections from others) combine in a synergy that manages to communicate more than a sport, but a whole "pura vida" way of looking at the world. It's a movie you turn on at the end of the day, beer (or margarita for beach goers) in hand, sun setting out the window, and take in the goodness of life.
Or maybe it's just me that appreciates that sort of thing...
