Summary: Simply awesome
Review: PLEASE RELEASE THIS ON DVD IN THE US! The DVD for this movie is released in region 2 coding in Europe but not here. We need it. Anyone who has ever been on the water will love the footage in this film. The love story is so so, but whenever you want the sailing feeling to return after a long winter indoors just watch the Int'l 14 scene or any of the racing 12m scenes. Simply awesome footage.

Summary: Please release this on DVD!
Review: This film captures the spirit of the breathtaking America's Cup races between the US and Australia, and the sailing is so beautifully filmed and scored that I am transported every time I see this movie. But my video copy is wearing out, and I'm hoping fervently that a DVD will be released--and while you're at it, I've been hoping for a soundtrack album since 1992 . . . am I dreaming?

Summary: Even the hard-core AC snobs and fanatics will admit --
Review: ...that they secretly love this movie. Despite its cheesy, Hollywood take on the America's Cup and its retelling of Dennis Conner's adventures 'on-the-other-side-of-the-pizza' this movie is not only beautiful eye-candy but more importantly it is exactly what they say in the movie: its good, clean fun.If you're trying to get friends and family intersted in taking a sail, this is one of the best tools to get the blood following -- yup, there are a lot of yachts, but there is the scene with the 14s. Enough excitement to dispell the idea of sailing as a laid-back sport. For the AC die-hards, its a chance to see the 12-meters in action once again, to hear the legendary PJ Montgomery comment on the races and read the tech/advisory credits which reads like a AC who's who list. So it isn't "real" or even possible (the 'whumper' is what kills it for some) but after all, you're looking at a movie. Enjoy it for what it is and appreciate the fact that this movie is the product of a love of sailing!

Summary: Adrenaline rush on the water.......
Review: To start out with, like other reviewers have stated, it is terrific to see this movie out on DVD after so long. I realized, when I watched this movie for the first time, you don't have to be a fan of boat racing to love this movie. The cinematography just can't be beat with absolutely wonderful shots putting you dead center in the action. It's a great experience in how the filmmakers shoot you back and forth onto the boats and then create sweeping panoramic views of strategic boat maneuvers. Top notch sailboat racing, bar none. The DVD is remastered in high definition and is crystal clear with superb detail and color. As for sound, Dolby 5.1 or DTS would have been the icing on the cake but I won't sell this DVD short. The Dolby Surround it does have still gets the job done just fine and sounds excellent. You can't go wrong with Wind and I recommend this movie to anyone who likes great racing and sporting competition.

Summary: A must have in your DVD collection!
Review: I got my DVD version from Amazon yesterday (3/13/03), a replacement for my battered VHS tape. I've noticed some scenes in the movie trailer that were not in the movie, and I don't know why they were excluded from it. The digital enhanced video is overwhelmingly better than the VHS, but I wish the digital cameras were available back when they filmed this movie. The digital audio really puts you in the middle of the actions. One regret, I wish I had seen this movie in the theater when it came out. I can't wait to go sailing in a laser this summer...

Summary: 1 of the 10 best Sports Event Movies EVER... On DVD AT LAST!
Review: It's been more then a decade since this sleeper cult hit was in the theaters and an equally long period of time that this film was only available on VHS and Laserdisc. Now, at long last, the wait is over! Wind appeals for a number of reasons. Primarily its a very human story of ambition, competition, love, loss, and redemption. What makes the film work is fantastic photography/camerawork by Mata Yamamoto, a soaring/pumping soundtrack by Basil Poledouris, and a compelling drama played out by some very brainy characters played by some very good actors. Think of it as "The Cutting Edge" and "Strictly Ballroom" with a little more testosterone and in a sailboat! The DVD is pretty bare-bones, but a Digital Widescreen Hi-Definition Remastering and Dolby surround make up for it. A Special Edition would have been nice, but, considering how long we had to pray for this one it's hardly required.

Summary: It is about time this movie came out on DVD
Review: I have loved this movie from the first time I saw it. If you like America's Cup, water, boats, or any such thing this movie is for you. If you like Matthew Modine in this movie watch Gross Anatomy, also a great movie.

Summary: The BEST SPORT IN THE WORLD in DVD
Review: Well, nobody has seen this DVD unless you were able to get an early copy somehow but this is a much anticipated release. The VHS was great but to get widescreen format and crystal clear picture of a great movie is AWESOME! The 12 meter boats weren't as quick as the boats today but Australia sure gave them a pounding and it made for some great action as this movie portrays. And it shows classic match racing with extensive tacking duels. It is a nice story about how hard work and passion can pay off if you get a chance. I will re-run this a million times over other DVDs out there. I only wish there were more movies with competitive sailing available.

Summary: DVD? About time!
Review: It's about time this movie arrives out on DVD, the sad thing is that this movie came out about 1992 (over 10 years ago) and by today's standards, Wind is a bit hoakey. The storyline is unbelievable and the fact that 12 meter yachts are being raced in the America's Cup is a bit antiquated. On the plus side, the soundtrack is excellent, and the cinematography is some of the best that I've ever seen. The aerial shots are especially mouthwatering. The movie puts you right in with the yachts; on a big t.v. with DVD quality picture and sound, it should be breathtaking.
