1480 Radio Pirates

I was not prepared for the visuals this movie offered. Nevertheless, I absorbed it in its full glory. It was easy to enjoy this movie not only because of its visuals but also because of the quirkiness and lovable characters. A must-watch! Amazing story, very original and authentic.

Loved this NZ made movie, didn't have any expectations, so was pleasantly surprised by this gem. It had a bit of everything for me, adventure, humor, romance, and a good story line.

Loved Matt Whelan! Good to see a mostly New Zealand cast.

I can see why this film is winning International Film Awards. Would be nice if it got the same recognition in New Zealand. The movie left me feeling good after wards and made me appreciate that we can now listen to any music station we wish to tune in to, thanks to the determination of a few very brave Radio Pirates. This movie definitely has a very New Zealand flavor which is very refreshing to see.

Praise to the cast, crew and all involved with this little gem of a movie.

The story had me captivated from the first moment, really drawing the viewer in to the tightly crafted screenplay. A joy to behold.

Such a significant part of New Zealand broadcast history, but also radio broadcasting generally. A must watch!

Music is so important in all our lives and this movie hits the right note.

Thoroughly recommended.

9/10 A thoroughly enjoyable feel good film!!!!

I was right there with them on the journey of fighting for music and self expression.

The boys on the Tiri and Tiri II braved storms, police and seasickness to broadcast pirate radio to Auckland. This film relates their story in a rather cliched fashion. The acting and filmography is decent. The writers mucked around with timelines unnecessarily, presumeably for dramatic effect. Its worth a watch, and has some nice retro touches in its settings.
