Reviews

Australia released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), English ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Cast/Crew Interview(s), Filmographies, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: In 1972 Crystal Voyager took us on a surreal journey deep inside the vortex of huge breaking waves where time enters space, a zone of its own.The film became a cult hit throughout the world. 'Perspectives flatten a seascape into a field of ploughed up furrows. Slow Motion reveals the multitudinous beauties of sea water. Sometimes a wide angled lens distorts the horizon's curvature: the world becomes a green ball you can throw up and catch. The last 25 minutes is an almost unbroken underwater trip of a thousand translucent tints, accompanied by the electronic music of Pink Floyd pinging out of infinity like an echo sounder. To see it 'stoned' as I guess some surf freaks have, must be out of this world'
...Crystal Voyager

One could review the scenes of the movie but somehow there is no point. The fact that it's about some Californian dude who builds his own surfboards/kneeboards and transports them to remote and secret surf spots by way of his own homemade seagoing vessels is not the reason for the cult status of this movie.

Summer 1985 took on a different shape following my first Crystal Voyager experience. With the effects of the whisky wearing off after a bit of a sesh the night before, I slipped the video into the player in 7 Roxborough Street, Glasgow. 1 hour later, totally recovered, myself and a group of friends headed for the beach; albiet quite some drive away.

It's not just the photography, or the music, or the images, or the man. It is the knowledge that such experiences as Georgie boy, as he became affectionately known as from then on, was indulging in are simply awaiting on the other side of your front door.

The surfy talk is irrelevant, the fact it is a surfing driven movie is too. The fact that "Nat Young could really make that baby move out" is not what comes across as being the point of the movie.

Don't keep putting off a viewing of this classic. 15 years on I'm kicking myself for not having watched it at least monthly throughout those intervening years.

Georgie Greenhough is 83.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sights you will only ever see on the screen. 13 Mar 2001
By A Customer
In 1972 I was at school doing "o" levels, I didn't know surf existed; since I've surfed a bit but not like this, I've listened to music but not like this. The combination is awesome. At Nearly 30 years old the movie held me transfixed.

The last 20 minutes excell with superdly explecit photography which could only have been shot by someone at one with himself and the surf; this, in slo-mo with Pink Floyd is a real cut from the 70's.

This movie breaks the mateialistic mould of today, no bagettes, roller blades or mobile phones here just guys doing what they love and lovin' what they do.

Take a deep breath, relax (Don't do it)and watch with no expectations, there is no plot just an audio visual feast.

If you haven't surfed you haven't lived.............Enjoy
