Movie Reviews of Being Out There
Movie Review: Not worth the time
Summary: 1 Stars
As a sailor and a confirmed lover of videos, I had high hopes for this. Unfortunately, the other one star reviews are spot on : this is not worth the time it takes to watch. Very little footage of actual sailing, and what there was seemed to me like motor sailing or just motoring. Almost all the footage is in or around Georgetown in the Bahamas. The people who made the video and the others interviewed look to me like the typical margarita-drinking sit-on-your-boat-in-the-harbor types. The music by Eileen is good, but you could just buy her CD and look at pictures in sailing or travel books and be happier.
I wish there was a good cruising / sailing video out there, but there really isn't (unless I've somehow missed it). Blue Water Odyssey is much better but still not great. Irving Johnson High Seas Adventurer and Around Cape Horn are awesome but not 'cruising' videos. And the others I've seen are really instructional in nature, and vary widely in quality.
Movie Review: Disorganized Mess
Summary: 1 Stars
"Being Out There" is one couple's attempt at presenting the cruising life style, and encouraging hopeful cruisers to just get out there and do it. Mitch and Michelle are fairly appealing as presenters, but the material is very thin, often with poor sound quality. Images and sequences are repeated in different places to pad out the content, and there is only a sketchy idea of a beginning, middle and end. The only bright spot in this video is the music and lyrics of Eileen Quinn, who really does capture the elusive essence of the cruising life. Don't waste a dime on this one.Movie Review: Not a real cruising lifestyle video - One couple's summer vacation
Summary: 1 Stars
This cruising video is a little bit bogus. If the reviews above are genuine, fine, but this is not about the cruising lifestyle. This is about a couple's vacation one summer.
There is very little useful information or anything that captures the real essence of the sailing lifestyle. We bought this, watched it one night and then sold it. There are a some videos of the sailboat sailing in calm waters and video of the couple going to a party in the Bahama's, but there is no offshore passage and no real sailing excitement.
Movie Review: Don't waste your money, or your time
Summary: 1 Stars
All the negative reviews on this movie are correct. I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing the video. This video does not deserve ANY stars, the filmmakers falsely presented the idea of "being out there." Looks more like they went out for the day, and came back home. The music sucked and the movie consisted of people being interviewed on a crowded beach somewhere in the Bahamas--no open water video footage.Movie Review: DO NOT BUY!!! A total waste of money!!! Nothing but a home movie!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I sail and I wasted $17.99 for this horrible DVD. This is nothing but a home movie. Voices out of sync. Photography is terrible. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! They should be ashamed for even thinking this is helpful about sailing. What a load of trash!!!
