Product Description
From Amazon.com
Not to be confused with the 2002 feature film of the same title, Blue Crush is billed as the original all-girl surfer's movie, and it's guaranteed to please devotees of the sport. It's a mixed blessing, however, because it assumes familiarity with the sport and its superstars, dispensing with any educational or historical detail that would appeal to neophytes. After all, how can this film be dedicated to Rell Sunn (the pioneer of female competitive surfing, who died in of breast cancer in 1998 at age 47) and fail to explore her illustrious career? This haphazard approach extends to profiles of the young women who regard Sunn as their hero; we learn little of their backgrounds and how they rose to prominence on the waves. Blue Crush works best as a globetrotting, music-video tour of surfdom's prime locations (Samoa, Hawaii, the Gold Coast, South Africa) hosted by the sport's most prominent competitors, including several (Rochelle Ballard, Megan Abubo, Sanoe Lake, Keala Kennelly, Kate Skarratt) who appeared in Universal's popular feature. It's a lot of fun, especially if you "hang ten" on a regular basis. --Jeff Shannon

Crush
May 12 2012
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
Great sounding waves not found in most movies that have great video of waves but lack the realistic powerful sounds
great to have another surfing flick out now and it was great
Nov 10 2002
Format:DVD
ive been a fan of michelle rodriquez since i saw her in fast in the furious when it hit theatres and have seen everyone since. shes amazing. sanoe lake was new to me but she had a special thing about her. the girl who played anne marie was a great actress but i found myself more watching to other characters then her. like there was more to watch. shes spose to be the main character but even though its about her shes pretty insignifigant. the thing with her little sister and her competing in pipeline at the end but so much of it was this little summer fling with the tourist. that part of the movie wasnt too original and pretty predictable of her character to do that. the surfing shots were great, it shows how much filming has improved since the Endless Summer movies. I also loved how all the girls did all their own surfing for the movie. It was a great movie. Lets face it, everymovie has a flaw and it was in ann maries nature to go for the romantic ritch preppy. it was also the other 2s character to tell her to snap...out of it... i liked it. ill definatly buy this one on dvd...
typically another great by michelle rodriquez. ive loved all her movies and have all on dvd except resident evil cause even though it had amazing actors, it suuuucked....

Blue Crush = mediocre

Format:DVD
Blue Crush is a so so movie. Even for a surfer movie it was too self conscious of itself, especially with that noisy "hip" soundtrack. The only good thing in this movie is Michelle Rodriguez, but she deserves better. What was the point with Kate's character jumping in the water in her dress any how?

Fun, but predictable and a tad boring
BLUE CRUSH is a very basic plot formula, saved by impressive ocean shots. Everything about the movie was predictable, and we even sped up some scenes just so the movie would... Read more

Worth your time and money...
I liked "Blue Crush" mainly because it was a movie about surfing, which is something you can do in the water, and not on land sitting behind some computer. Read more

A "chick flick" for those of us who hate chick flicks
I really like this movie...no it's not super deep, super heavy, or super intelligent with some phenomenal new story line. It's just fun! Read more

Good surfing and then???
Anne Marie only has one enemy in regards to surfing and that is her fear of falling, which was induced by a previous surfing accident where she fell and was sucked down under water... Read more
