This movie has it all; surfing, babes in bikinis, and the beautiful Hawaiian waves. Blue Crush is smart on many levels; it will do well at the box office, be critically applauded, and give many people a great time. I was highly entertained by the unique and creative cuts of the fabulously talented surfers. There is Kate Bosworth, too, that always scores some extra points. Lots of people chose to explain this as a guilty pleasure, and I completely agree. Who can take their eyes off of this movie? No one with a single shred of humanity in there body, that’s for sure. The hour and nineteen minutes that passed by in the theatre seemed like one; I thoroughly enjoyed the delightful time.

     Don’t base your decision on seeing or not seeing this movie by the trailer; it isn’t an accurate representation of what the story portrays. It acts like the film is some corny teen flick, which it isn’t, and totally excludes the male audiences. The second preview made was an improvement from the first, but still not nearly as enticing as the feature-film itself. In real life, the picture has something for everyone; attitude for the chicks, babes for the guys, excellent cinematography for the film-buffs, and enormous waves for the surfers. If I’ve learned one thing in my movie-going experience; it’s to not trust the trailers. This film really surprised me, and I’m glad I took the chance and went to see it.

     Hawaiian surf is amazing. The incredible waves were a treat to watch because the cinematographers had something so miraculous to work with. The different angles, zooming, and positioning were hands down the best I’ve seen in years. In the opening scene, the producers tinted the film to a certain degree, giving it a vibrant flare. In the first real surfing sequence, the director violently cut the clips of video from tons of cameras in very short periods of time, which gave the movie its edge. The way the camera work had such a fun and outgoing feel made a huge impact on this picture; after it’s over you’re convinced that the girls in it can shred. This was the best time I’ve had at the movies in a long while; what you see gives off a highly interactive feel.

     I have one thing to say to the people who pan Blue Crush because of its predictability, you suck! I don’t mean to sound vile, or uneducated for that matter, here; but the feeling of knowing what’s going to happen is half the fun. It makes you feel safe and secure; you know that everything’s going to be okay. All of the problems, all of the lost relationships that make such a big impact on everyone’s lives are going to clear up. You know that there’s hope, and that’s just a great feeling. “Let It Be…” – John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

     Blue Crush is exciting, leisurely, and outgoing; it’ll be some of the most fun you’ll have at the movies in years. Although it lacks substance, and the story is very predictable; who cares? It has bikinis, that’s always a good thing; right? On an undiscussed note, everyone’s performances were spectacular, except for Michelle Rodriguez; who I have yet to find a taste for. This has the potential to be the most well rounded, and well marketed, flick of the century. No one can possibly dislike everything it has to offer. If you want some outstanding, low-key entertainment; Blue Crush is your best bet.
