(More customer reviews)I have to outright reject the previous reviewer's 1-star rating. This was a great adventure film, that had me wishing I was right alongside with them. There is awesome scenery, great action sequences, humor, and a 'just for the hell of it' attitude that is very refreshing. Now, as for the ecological message - yes it gets a little heavy-handed and in the way of the movie. The message of over-consumption, and the ability to live in harmony with the land is a powerful and important one, and I give props to the filmmakers for tackling it, but they perhaps over-did it (time-wise). If you enjoy adventure books or movies, you will enjoy this, and it is DEFINITELY worth seeing!

180° SOUTH: CONQUERORS OF THE USELESS follows Jeff Johnson as he retracesthe epic 1968 journey of his heroes Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins to Patagonia. Along the way he gets shipwrecked off Easter Island, surfs the longest wave of his life - and prepares himself for a rare ascent of Cerro Corcovado. Jeff's life takes a turn when he meets up in a rainy hut with Chouinard and Tompkins who, once driven purely by a love of climbing and surfing, now value above all the experience of raw nature - and have come to Patagonia to spend their fortunes to protect it.
