      Audience Member Lovely soundtrack, and great story Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Yvon Chouinard: Fear of the unknown is the greatest fear of all... but we just went for it. 180º South narra la travesía de Jeff Johnson, que partió de California hasta llegar a Patagonia, Chile, recreando el viaje que Yvon Chouinard y Dough Tompkins hicieron en van. Jeff decidió hacerla en un velero. Por supuesto, que no todo podía salir perfecto. Al poco tiempo de iniciar el viaje, la vela se rompió y tuvieron que parar un par de días para repararla en Isla de Pascua. Un par de días se convirtió en semanas, en las cuales se enamoró de la Isla, y de Makohe, una isleña a la cual invita a que lo acompañe en el resto de la travesía. Al llegar a Patagonia, se reune con Chouinard y Tompkins y deciden intentar llegar a la cumbre del Cerro Corcovado. 180º South es un documental que más allá de hablar acerca del viaje, habla de la importancia de la conservación en estos lugares maravillosos. La única manera de que las personas tomen consciencia, es viajando y logren ver con sus propias ojos lo milagroso que es este lugar. Conocí Patagonia hace 2 años atrás y una parte de mí se quedó allá. Al hablar con las personas nativas, todas tienen una visión única en la cual expresan la filosofía de que somos uno con la naturaleza, y al vivir en ciudades lo hemos olvidado, y ni nos damos cuenta del daño que causamos constantemente. A mayor escala está la avaricia de las corporaciones que son capaces de cualquier cosa por el dinero, y de cierta forma nosotros somos complices. Si no creamos un nuevo sistema que se base en otros valores, estos lugares van a desaparecer, y el cambio empieza creando consciencia, y esto es lo que logra este documental. Como bonus, muestra a Tompkins hablando de su trabajo de conservación en Patagonia, que es son duda el mayor esfuerzo hecho jamás por una persona, para que estas tierras queden intactas para las próximas generaciones. Notable. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This is my favorite movie. Every time I watch it I just get filled with inspiration, motivation and wonder. It makes me think about what is possible, no matter how impossible it seems. The people in this movie are incredible, looking for adventure and social justice. I often find myself telling every person I meet about this movie. Because most conversation end up leading to "what should I watch on Netflix?" The first answer is always "180 Degrees South." Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member In 180 Degrees South, Jeff Johnson retraces the footsteps of Yvon Chouinard (founder of Patagonia) and Doug Tompkins (founder of North Face) 1968 trek into Patagonia. Along the way Jeff surfs big waves, encounters some rough waters off the coast of easter island and attempts to climb Cerro Corcovado. The movie definitely has some appeal if not just for the time spent with Yvon and Doug but on the whole it's a bit slow. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Even though it's about 30 minutes too long 180 Degrees South is a wonderful documentary. Boasting wonderful story telling and fantastic music, the first hour or so of the movie keeps the viewer captivated. Sadly, the lack of direction towards the end leads the viewer to boredom as well as some of the piss poor theology of the world. Regardless, 180 Degrees South is still an entertaining watch, and you cant beat the fact that the creators of Patagonia and North Face tag along for parts of the adventure. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Adventurous & Responsible....this documentary presents some very important reflections about our duties to preserve the natural land God has given us....but in the end it seems to focus more on being dreamy & poetic than finding solutions to the issues. Still a very solid and well filmed 3 Star Documentary ! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Ted Fry Seattle Times A beautiful mess with a point of view that's way too easily distracted. Rated: 2.5/4 May 20, 2010 Full Review Carrie R. Wheadon Common Sense Media Eco-minded travel docu inspires serious wanderlust. Rated: 4/5 Jul 2, 2012 Full Review Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Documentary follows surfer/ rock climber/photographer Jeff Johnson as he attempts to replicate the 1968 sailing/climbing expedition of Yvon Chouinard ...and Doug Tompkins from California to the tallest mountain in Chilean Patagonia. Rated: 81/100 Jun 16, 2010 Full Review Sara Maria Vizcarrondo Boxoffice Magazine In addition to the film's gentle activism comes a lovely perspective on life and our orientation to consumption that almost feels like antidote to the destructive "progress" that bests the explorers' paths. Rated: 3/5 Jun 1, 2010 Full Review Chris Hewitt St. Paul Pioneer Press If we're going to keep getting documentaries about the environment -- and let's face it, we are -- 180 Degrees South suggests an original way to structure them.
