I enjoyed it and thought it to be well made. Interesting editing and beautiful areas. Made in the format of a documentary. I watched this thinking that it was a movie about a climbing/surfing trip when in fact it is a flick about conservation, industrial intrusion into the wild areas of Patagonia, and oh yea....a small bit of climbing thrown in too. One or two surfing shots too. I think it could have been billed differently to be accurate. A film about environmental conservation with some surfing shots thrown in every now and then and an unexpected sailing trip. A bit short on the adventure side and more heavy on the moral message. Still interesting in its own way.

This is the type of film that makes you want to get out and explore the world around us. I admire Jeff Johnson's spirit and dedication to his childhood dreams. This movie makes me wonder what our world might be like if we all gave in to our innermost desires of leaving our repetitive lives and as Jeff put it in the movie, letting our futures remain unwritten. This movie will take you off of your couch and deep into Patagonia. If you're anything like me it will leave you searching for the soundtrack to keep you inspired as you begin to plan for an unplanned trip you've pined for your entire life but always found a sensible reason to remain unhappy at your 9-5.

Great movie!! It's real entertainment that inspires an challenges the intellectual mind to think beyond the next purchase at walmart, the next purchase of over-priced euro shoes, or the next designer suit and consider what really makes life rich. Beautiful footage of nature unspoiled with boldcontrasts to our progress (if you can call it progress). Patagonia's Founder has truly traveled a non-conventional path through out his 70 years, a real icon. Jeff Johnson's path is admirable and inspiring. KEEP IT REAL LIFE IS SHORT.I'll watch this again with my kids!! Best quote - "Turn around and take one step forward."As for the first review I totally disagree. If you really want to split hairs on self importance and make comparisons this is no different than the message in Avatar with out the special effects and Oscars. Watch it and think about it. Talk about self important and smug those people spend millions and millions on developing a film, then follow it up with million dollar awards like the Oscars where they can parade around and pat each other on the back so all the world can see and think "boy those people are really cool as they walk down the red carpet" look at me, look at what i'm wearing, look at who i'm sitting with. C'mon let's get real here and start paying attention to what's important. I'd rather have lunch with Jeff Johnson than James Cameron any day. it Simple....

Made in the typical MTV's Real World style of the day.Ham fisted lack of subtly.Filled with countless cut scenes. Constant overly sentimental music played by people who probably have beards.Rather than let the story tell itself, or having a 3rd party interviewing/narrating we are subjected to being talked down to by the smug and annoying main subject talking so highly about himself.With even more smug interjections by the founder of Patagonia clothing.Entirely ruined by the weight of everyone's enormous chips on their shoulders.Neo-hippies expounding on how evil everyone else is while exalting their own self importance.Pretty much everyone in this is a self important ass.
