Yes only waves, no real story, no trouble. Only good music, cuts, waves and fun. I have a lot other surf movies with stories, so its no problem, to have one without all the stuff i need to listen. :-)
Plot summary
From the dreamy blue perfection of the South Pacific to the darkest uncharted waters of Africa (and everywhere in between), John Florence faces a broad spectrum of emotions as he continues to seal his legacy as one of the most gifted surfers ever. And while the young Hawaiian is pulled in increasingly different directions, there is no form of pressure that will keep him from his ultimate goal — to redefine what is possible in the ocean.

Mediocre home movie... worst surf movie I've ever seen!
Talk about disappointing!
I haven't watched a surf move since I was a teenager, when I used to
watch them during my summers at the beach. Why not take a moment and
see what's new?
Ooh, aah... first 4k surf video -- so what? The footage goes on and on
and on, aimlessly. Any video editor around here? We've got one tube
after another, and another, and... another... ad nauseum. Ditto for the
handful of other maneuvers displayed.
Then we travel -- why bother? Did we travel because travel is so cheap
in the modern world? Did we make a surf movie because our buddy has a
camera with 4k video? Give me a break!
I have 4 criteria for movie viewing:
1. Do I believe the story?
2. Do I care?
3. Do I believe the characters?
4. Do I care about the characters?
I need 4 "Yes" answers to watch a movie. In the case of View from a
Blue Moon, the result is horrendous:
1. Do I believe the story? What story? No story in this film!
2. Do I care? I wanted to care, but there's no story to care about.
3. Do I believe the characters. YES! Of course I believe them. The
protagonist is a real person.
4. Do I care about the characters? Well, yes, but I care about the
characters IN SPITE OF the film, not because of it.
I was going to give this movie 2 out of 10, but I've downshifted to 1
out of 10 - - AWFUL - for two reasons:
First, this movie was so awful, I couldn't even get through half of it.
I was out before 30 minutes, and the only reason I lasted that long was
because I wanted to like it. I hoped it would get better.
Unfortunately, in my experience, if a movie starts out bad, it very
rarely gets better.
Second, it seems like populism is the result of all of this social
media combined with widely available, easily affordable Audio-Visual
toys. North Shore surfer dude whose buddy has a camera with 4k?
That's preposterous -- next thing you know, more of these dude & dude's
buddy with 4k-made monstrosities are going to be on IMDb -- and that's
truly unfortunate for us film lovers!!!
Bottom line: This is a home movie -- How did it ever get played before
my eyes? How did it ever get a page on IMDb?
Cinema is in sad shape until these issues are resolved!
not even a good surf movie
I like movies and I like surf movies, but this was neither. If someone wants to waste 59 minutes on decent landscape footage then this is for you. Otherwise, I'd save my money and time. No point to the movie. No character development. Not even any drama or even some dumb surfers talking. Anything would've added to this movie. How about adding someone pulling into a wave eating spam musubi. A dolphin downing a porkchop when surfing a wave. Even some turtle licking his toe would've been better than this movie. Seriously, even if the whole movie was about a turtle popsicling his little toe would've been more entertaining than watching this toehead do the same trick over and over and over and over and over again. Anyhow, no spoilage alert here since there's nothing to spoil.
