SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

David-Kappel Well I have to rate this movie with at least 4 stars as I would get mad due to the money spent on it if I had to admit that it only deserves 2 (which it does!).I didn't expect anything spectacular. I thought it might be a meaningless but entertaining flick with some good surfing in it. Unfortunately it wasn't! I bought a German version of it. I don't know why but it's called "Gefährliche Brandung 2: Liquid Bridge" over here which makes you believe it has at least anything to do with the first one (Gefährliche Brandung: point break). Well it hasn't. Unluckily it hasn't anything in common with it either.The movie itself is pretty boring. There is not much happening and unlike others I couldn't find any touching moments. I didn't care about the bloke and his dad. Neither did I care about the french chick (though I gotta admit she was cute) who left her boyfriend (for whom I actually felt more sympathy than for the main character).The scene in which a girl gets hit by a lightning and glows blue afterward has already caught enough attention in here but it really is ridiculous indeed.The worst thing though was, that the surf scenes seemed just to be taken off some other surf movies and had nothing to do with the actual movie. There were far to less surf scenes in it anyway.After watching the movie in German I wanted to give it another try and watch it in English especially as I like the Australian accents but I had to discover that the German subtitles cannot be turned off. That made me mad and so I didn't watch it again.All in all the movie is okay when you are bored and haven't got to do anything anyway but don't expect it to change your state of mind.

MrStabby I didn't even make it to the end of Liquid Bridge, I just gave up about 2/3 thru. It's very clichéd. The acting is bad, Some actors like Simone Kessel I've seen in other films and they're very good so I wondered if it was the directing or the lack of budget which meant they had to rush some scenes.The woman hanging out the washing and getting struck by lightning was gut bustingly funny, I fell off the couch and spilt my beer.I am incredibly perplexed by the positive reviews this films getting. I was just expecting some great surf scenes really and it didn't deliver in my opinion.

calperin As a distributor I believe that this is a good feel movie that will attract teenagers and young people. The film is very entertaining, the story well told, the lead characters looked good and their motivations well defined. There are some very touching moments where the characters are moved by emotions without having to say word by word what they feel. A rarity in today's movies... The love scenes are directed with sensitivity. The music is hip, typical of young audiences and work quite well. The photography of the waves and the coast of Eastern Australia is at times very aesthetic and exciting. The direction overall is very good with nice touches of both, tenderness and excitement. This is a movie that will inspire you to surf into the high waves of life. Don't miss it.

Arithon Unfortunately, this movie will probably never be shown in Canada. I'll have to wait for it to come out on DVD/VHS. From what my e-pals tell me it is a great film. As well, the trailer looks great! I am perplexed as why M. Lani john Tupu is not given credit :((((
