Chasing Mavericks

Mickeroo

you might remember hearing about Gerard Butler nearly getting killed at Mavericks a few months back. If was for the making of this movie apparently. It's about Jay Moriarty.

I can't see it being any good but sure it's got to be better than Soul Surfer hasn't it?

Just seen this on IMDB and searched the trailer on youtube. Might be one worth watching.

Anyone gone to see this yet? Can't seem to find a cinema in Dublin that is showing it

yeah soul surfer.....

anyways, this looks pretty decent from the trailer, legit surf sequences, nice cinematography and story must be a t least decent with butler on board. i'm looking forward to seeing it. loving the old school guns they're using, they look like thinned out kayaks :-)

Don't think it's out here yet.

Looking forward to it, seems like they've gone all out for the surf sequences anyway.

Did a few days in Portugal a while ago, mucho respect to the acrobatic bodyboarders on serious slabs there. Very impressive how they take off and turn so late on the big mean waves.

Probably deserves a thread of it's own.

I wasn't expecting much from the movie but I rented it when it came out first and I went down last week and bought a copy. Very impressed with it. One I will definitely watch again

I saw it a few months back, very much a by the numbers sports movie in many ways but was very enjoyable all the same. The surf sequences were great too.

Enjoyable watch, as was The Drift - I'd recommend that one!

keryl

Enjoyed it, I don't mind Butler but once again his accents are terrible!

Good shots and from what I've read about Moriarty, more accurate than I thought.

Worth a watch
