Scott H @shirons Jan 9 This is a comfort movie. The visuals of the sailing scenes are amazing. It's a thrilling story of return to glory. However, the writing kills the movie. Random characters show up with no development of who they are or why they exist. There is a lot of technical dialog that sailors may understand, but there is little explanation of what they are talking about. The boat and sail engineering scenes just seem to be random words that sort of fit, but don't make a lot of sense. The magic sail is poorly explained as to why it works so well, and hasn't been thought of before. Overall a great move to just watch for the story and the visuals, but don't get too wrapped up into it as high quality cinema.

See more 08/02/2020 Great acting, great cinematography, awesome sailing, and all before CGI! This movie was 20 years ahead of its time in that Jennifer Grey, the female lead, is as capable as her male counterparts. She is an accomplished sailor, tactician, pilot, and aeronautical engineer. Great feel good movie! See more 06/25/2018 Amazing movie and cast about a beautiful sport. Lots of action and story progression. If you like sailing, you'll love this film. See more 06/01/2018 After reading over 200 reviews of "Wind", most of which praise it to the stars and rave and rave on, there is little I can add to such comments as "stirs the soul", "takes your breath away", "one of the best movies of all time", "should be on the shelf of every family with children", and "should be required viewing for young people and anyone bored with life". This film, one of the best examples of director Carroll Ballard's magic, will knock your socks off and blow you away with its excitement but realism (you will hear and feel the boats groaning and keening with the wind stresses!), and GREAT MESSAGES - It is about losing everything, and winning it all back again through individual and team angst and sheer will (I have shown parts of it to my science students not just for the physics of sailing, but for these timeless messages). Sailor or not, no matter how many times you watch it, it leaves you glowing for hours. - by Daniel fattibene See more Read all reviews
