Customer Reviews of Wind
Simply awesome PLEASE RELEASE THIS ON DVD IN THE US! The DVD for this movie is released in region 2 coding in Europe but not here. We need it. Anyone who has ever been on the water will love the footage in this film. The love story is so so, but whenever you want the sailing feeling to return after a long winter indoors just watch the Int'l 14 scene or any of the racing 12m scenes. Simply awesome footage.
The BEST SPORT IN THE WORLD in DVD
Well, nobody has seen this DVD unless you were able to get an early copy somehow but this is a much anticipated release. The VHS was great but to get widescreen format and crystal clear picture of a great movie is AWESOME! The 12 meter boats weren't as quick as the boats today but Australia sure gave them a pounding and it made for some great action as this movie portrays. And it shows classic match racing with extensive tacking duels. It is a nice story about how hard work and passion can pay off if you get a chance. I will re-run this a million times over other DVDs out there. I only wish there were more movies with competitive sailing available.
Even the hard-core AC snobs and fanatics will admit --
...that they secretly love this movie. Despite its cheesy, Hollywood take on the America's Cup and its retelling of Dennis Conner's adventures 'on-the-other-side-of-the-pizza' this movie is not only beautiful eye-candy but more importantly it is exactly what they say in the movie: its good, clean fun.
If you're trying to get friends and family intersted in taking a sail, this is one of the best tools to get the blood following -- yup, there are a lot of yachts, but there is the scene with the 14s. Enough excitement to dispell the idea of sailing as a laid-back sport.
For the AC die-hards, its a chance to see the 12-meters in action once again, to hear the legendary PJ Montgomery comment on the races and read the tech/advisory credits which reads like a AC who's who list. So it isn't "real" or even possible (the 'whumper' is what kills it for some) but after all, you're looking at a movie. Enjoy it for what it is and appreciate the fact that this movie is the product of a love of sailing!
