Thrilling, gut rushing. Sent tingles up my spine. The jaw-dropping cinematography and fantastic sound and music composition brought the beautiful and rare archive footage to life in a way which is seldom experienced in cinema. Clive Neeson's lifetime creation really comes from the heart. With a unique angle it reveals to us how we used to be and what's in our future. It needs to be appreciated that the whole film was produced, directed, written, filmed and beautifully narrated by one person over 45 years. As well as a gripping story, it's a rare and timeless piece of high quality art.

If you love what's good in the world you'll love this film. No wonder it has picked up international editing awards. An intricate plot seamlessly crafted together. Loaded with novelty and intrigue in a smooth-flowing story. The audience was noticeably glued to the screen, The acid test of a good film and pretty rare these days.Great to discover the world with the well known adventure pioneers. AJ Hackett, George Greenough, Al Byrne. So amazing that this real footage was ever captured of their untold story.I felt uplifted and full of hope to see how childhood dreams can be manifested and the wilderness can be restored. Left the cinema buzzing.

Inspirational, beautiful, intriguing, genuine and modest. These are the words that spring to mind when I think of this outstanding documentary.Clive Neeson's story makes me want to explore more boldly, become more educated and contribute my time more generously to the world around. It also makes me feel damn lucky to live in New Zealand. Although not preachy, I can't help but feel inspired by the powerful environmental message that becomes self evident throughout the film.There is so much breadth and depth in this film's topics that I found myself inspired to pursue even more information about some of the characters, topics and inventions. Without question, Last Paradise is one of the most unique, original and entertaining documentaries of this genre that I have seen. It deserves a large global audience.

Quirky, humorous and very inspirational movie. I am a surfer and I don't usually bother watching surfing movies. Last Paradise is far more than just a surfing moving. Anyone who had an adventurous childhood which continued into their adult life would love this movie! The cinematography is brilliant.The old footage very interesting and the environmental message simple but moving. Last Paradise has already won several awards overseas including the "X Dance"and "California" Film Festivals. Quite an incredible feat for one man on a very limited budget. The best movie I have seen for a long time and I would recommend it anyone with a sense of adventure who cares about the future of our planet.
