Last Paradise: DVD Review
Last Paradise
Rating: G
Released by Madman Home Ent
This doco from film maker Clive Neeson pretty much sums up why NZ's become
the extreme sports mecca of the world.
Pulling together archive footage and traditional talking heads interviews, it
takes a look back at why and how Aotearoa became the go to place for those
seeking a thrill and looking for something - other than the scenery - to leave
the heart pumping.
From home video footage of tyre rolling, boarding, kids on trolleys being
pulled by horses to AJ Hackett bungying off the Eiffel Tower, there's plenty to
see here in this charming nostalgic look at what's shaped a major part of our
tourism world.
However, it's not just that; there's a curiosity factor of seeing the first
surfers in action and you end up marveling at those who set the pace.
A clever celebration of Kiwi ingenuity and a sparkling look at what shaped an
industry, Last Paradise, while at times being a little more than a sports show
promo (complete with slow mo footage), is a fascinating glimpse into why this is
the best country in the world.
Extras: Bonus scenes and a trailer - nothing major
Rating: 7/10
