The film may serve as an inspiration to many, but too many scenes feel empty.

"Chasing Mavericks" 10 Scale Rating: 4.5 (Mediocre) ...

The Good: Intense and well done surfing scenes. I'm not even into surfing, but was still extremely entertained by these scenes. The real story behind the film is a pretty interesting one and I can understand why they wanted to make a movie about it.

The Bad: Pretty hollow, which is unacceptable for this sort of film. Lacks heart, emotion, and with the exception of the surfing scenes, any real energy. Aside from Butler, most of the acting was well below average.

"Live like Jay" is written in the graffito at the end of the film. No, thanks, I'm not at all interested, and I regret other works that have been able to say much more about this genre, epically and epocally: "Point Break"

There's nothing especially bad about it, its just a little cliched, or predictable, if anything and maybe a little cheesy. There's not much more to say about it. I wouldn't particularly recommend it, no. Expand
