Chasing Mavericks [DVD]

I've seen quite a few surfing movies (or supposed surfing movies) but what I love about this one is that it actually hits my emotions. People can get very critical and technical when it comes to specific genre movies and sometimes miss the big picture. For me, the story (based on true story) was great, interesting and believable - taking me back to days I spent hanging out at the beach. I thought the surfing scenes were good and the soundtrack was awesome. Will watch this one over and over for years to come!

This is an easy and great film to watch. The making of it is excellent. A great Gerrad Butler film.

A captivating and autobiographical account of the life of the large wave surfer, Jay Moriarty, and his mentor, Frosty Hesson. The movie describes the inherent dangers and thrills of riding the waves at Mavericks, in Half Moon Bay, in northern California. Jay was a young man with great courage and integrity. I recommend this movie to a teenage or adult audience, and to those thrill seekers who have a keen interest in large wave surfing.

True story well told. The final scene is an uplifting tear jerker loved the film. Gerard Butler is perfect in his role as mentor & father figure to Jay.

Came across this Movie while browsing for 3D films. Three years since its release so was going for a great price.What a great choice as this is a great movie, based apparently on a true story.Well worth the purchase and the soundtrack, especially the tidal wave scenes, had my wireless sub-woofer working overtime.

I absolutely love this film. Moving, inspiring, deep, just great. It is my new favourite film, on par with if not 10 times better than Point Break. I don't know what success this movie had I was a year or so behind finding out about it - but I was incredibly moved and inspired by it - I hope it and everyone involved got the success and accomplishment they wanted from it because it's worth it.

Really touching film that bought a tear to my eye. Makes you think about life in general. Really moving movie. Great buy.

Great film
