The Worst Film Ever

Great Film overall

Good movie but grossly overrated

A Masterpiece!

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.

Liquid Bridge is the cinematography hero! Mesmerising visuals...relaxing, exciting, inspiring and evocative. The ocean scenes are majestic and incredibly beautiful, not to mention the quality surfing footage. The visual quality of this film is outstanding. Particularly enjoyed solid performances by Lani Tupu and Nathaniel lees. Both actors have that magic,impressionable film presence and their scenes linger on long after viewing the film. I enjoyed the in depth range of emotions covered in this film. The characters have a real and evolving presence which is believable and engages you on their emotional journeys.

Absolutely shocked to read the review by one commenter, whose 'extra-ordinary' vocabulary seems limited to the word "Bad". Obviously, by his comments, he has some vendetta against the makers of this exceptional Australian film - which only makes one wonder, why? Reading the other comments far outweigh this obnoxious report. I challenge all readers who have not seen the film to do so, and then comment. The story in Liquid Bridge is truly inspirational, the beautifully depicted scenes capture the essence of surfing, wonderful on the big and small screen. Some outstanding directorial moments shine throughout and the characterization (and acting) is moving and very sympathetic. In fact it is one of the few Australian films to succeed on these levels, whilst executing a universal story. And what extra-ordinary ocean footage! This film is fast becoming a house-hold name amongst surfers and others, because the characters portrayed appeal to a wide audience. Everyone I know who has seen it, loved it! As for the comments on the Director, do a little research, this man deserves acclaim and respect. Not only did he put the likes of Mel Gibson and Julian McMahon in their first roles that ultimately led to their stardom, follow Simone Kessell (now in LA) and Ryan Kwanten - both from Liquid Bridge. Ryan is now a huge success via "Summerland" - their quality performances in Liquid Bridge led to these successes. Director/writer/Producer Phil Avalon has a knack for recognizing star talent, particularly 'up and coming' - and provides vehicles for careers to be launched. I would like to hear from anyone not moved by Liquid Bridge, it's almost 'tribal' resonance in parts has stayed with me since my first viewing. A great film on the big screen, and a perfectly fulfilling DVD! Thanks

Liquid Bridge has everything - Big Waves, steamy love scenes, a gripping story and wonderful visuals. Supported by great acting and a rockin' sound track, LB delivers like a perfect wave peeling at Pipeline! At last, a film about surfing that actually works!!
