Soul
Surfer—based on a true story—does not realize its full potential. The
scenes seem to fail to catch the emotion involved in this traumatic life event
and seem, at times, a little cold. It seems that the best scenes are the
surfing scenes rather than the event and how it impacted the girl and the real
force that enabled her to make a comeback. The trip to Thailand seems
disconnected to the story at large. It seems there is another story to be told
that has been suppressed.
Storyline
A
young girl loses her arm to a shark while surfing and finds courage to re-enter
the water and regain her skill as a professional surfer.
