Rating: Summary: horrible Review: This is one of the worst surf movies ever! I mean all of the footage comes from other surf movies that are much much better, and it does not go into enough depth about the strapped crew. It says that laird hamilton and dave kalama are the onlt two apart of the crew, but there are about 10 more surfers in the actual crew. I have to say that also the guy who made this film did not do it very well. I mean you would expect Bruce Browns's son to make a better surf movie than this. (Bruce Brown made one of the best surf films of all time "The Endless Summer" series. Sorry but the person who made this film should know more about surfing before they make a film on it.
Rating: Summary: Step into Boring! Review: This might be a great surf movie if you live in Nebraska.
Way too many faux long boarders and Blue Crush wannabe surf chicks.
Yes, the tow-in scenes were cool, but the rest was poor. I can
see better surfing every day down at my local.
Rating: Summary: The best surfing documentary Review: This movie is so good I saw it on opening night and have taken numerous dates to see this flick. I believe Dana Brown filmed one of the greatest movies about the greatest extreme sport. This movie appeals to everyone and I would not be suprised if some people have started to surf after watching this cinematic masterpiece. I hope that those of you that have not seen it actually view this and hope it gives you a better insight of when you "step into liquid" and the culture that is Surfing.
Rating: Summary: not made for surfers Review: This movie makes a good first impression, but it's not anything I have to watch again. Ironically, though one of the key points of the movie is not to take surfing (or life) too seriously, the movie takes itself too seriously. Not as funny as Endless Summer I & II, and too many pieces about a very, very small aspect of surfing - Wisconsin AND Texas, the paralyzed, the bring Ireland together bit and Vietnam father/son boding, mixed in with tow-in surfing. The tow-in surf does not come in a cohesive form but is instead scattered througout. It's as if surfing is about nothing but tow-in and using surfing to bring world peace. The meandering style of this movie also renders it useless as surf porn, even on mute.If you want a real surf movie, that is entertaining to watch and gets to the essence of what surfing is really about without trying too damn hard at it, check out Shelter and Thicker Than Water. If you're not a surfer and just insterested in what the hub bub is about, Step IL is made for you.

Rating: Summary: Heart and Sole Review: This Old Guy was really stoked to see this movie. It did well to represent the Heart and Sole that is part of the Surfing lifestyle. I travel the world and get to enjoy moments as these from many locations with a variety of locals. We have one thing in common and it is that which makes us what we are... surfers. My hat is off to the people that enabled this movie epic. Hanna Ho, MoonDoggy

Rating: Summary: Sensory overload that's good for the soul Review: We first tried to see STEP INTO LIQUID at the Taos Mountain Film Festival 2003. After waiting in a record-breaking line, we finally made it into the building and shuffled painstakingly a few feet down the aisle. The theater was literally wall-to-wall with people. Not being surfers ourselves, we didn't want to stand up in the aisle for two hours to see the film so we went home. Now that I've finally seen it, I understand the reason for the crush. This movie's worth crushing for.
The variety of people, places, and types of surfing was truly a mind expander. I could not have imagined that many novel types of surfing: everything from kooky to heroic to physically phenomenal to spiritually healing and all points in between.
This is more than just a movie; it's a cornucopia. By the end of the film, my senses were totally burnt out. I couldn't even watch the additional footage; we had to go back for that the next night as I just couldn't take in any more splendor.
You don't have to be a surfer, or even a sports lover, to enjoy this movie. I'm neither myself, but I rate this movie as among the best I've ever seen.
Rating: Summary: For the surfer, the DVD enthusiast, This is worth a WOW! Review: Whether you are a surfer(haven't been since I was a kid), or someone that likes to see amazing wild footage of people who have a love for, to me, one of God's greatest creations next to Anna Kournikova, The Oceans, this is a "must see"! You don't have to be a surfer to go nuts over the great filming of this docu-film. If you don't live on either coast, you will feel like you do after seeing this. If you are someone who would love to give your TV and mind a drug-free trip, you gotta see this! Visually Spectacular and no special effects! For the surfer, this is the DVD to have! These incredible surfers can't say any better why people surf. So step off the concrete......and step into liquid!
