Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

beauzee oh, how those criticvs love to rip apart low-budget movies outside the box. In '70, that expression was unknown but the hippie culture was still going strong (though after Altamont, Kent, State, Isle of Wight, and losing Janis Joplin, the surge lost a lot of momentum).one attractive feature is that viewers cannot make headz or tailz of this film until about the fourth FULL viewing. plus...and this means kudos the creative side: we are never sure if the actors are actors! now, that is acting! and directing! we have our hippie-corporate head liaison visiting the Meditation Center in Maui...just to see how the money is being wasted. Pat Hartley, very sexy in her hippie-tight jeans, makes the trek....she encounters many obstructions of the establishment, on the way.she falls mesmerized by the true love, peace, contentment - dreal *harmony* she finds. her enthusiasm is then further increase when the man, THE hippie musician icon of the day, Jimi Hendrix arrives to rock out! Hendrix's performance is the centerpiece of the film, but it comes well *into* the proceedings. a great performance.baby boomers, esp. those a tad too old for Elvis and just young enough for The Beatles, invite yourself to join the peaceniks.

terencesnell You know, this movie is odd, but interesting to watch. Taking from a completely different time and from a different view that most people at the time either didn't do themselves or couldn't understand. The reason why I said this film "could have been good" was due to the fact a lot of people watch this because of the Hendrix material in it. I personally have come to collect more than 400 Hendrix CD's, 50+ DVD's among many VHS tapes, posters, etc.....of Jimi Hendrix and I found this movie to be a real travesty. The Editing job during his play was so mies-matched, it made me forget the last hour of the movie and hate what I was seeing. There's parts where what the movie was showing him do wasn't even matching what was being played. I understand that it was made at a really low budget and at a different time however, I really think whoever actually let this movie be released was on some kind of drug that the editor was on because, it's obvious of all of the flaws. 2/10.

fishncarpet I saw this movie when it came out, and was a bit disappointed at the time. I was in the movie as an extra and was paid free lunches during shooting and a free Hendrix concert on the side of Haliakala (sp?) volcano. The concert alone was worth the standing around and waiting to "act" in scenes. It was a great concert, I remember Foxy Lady and Purple Haze as highlights. The concert seemed to last most of the afternoon, he played lots of songs. One sort of silly thing (in hindsight) they had us do was sit grouped according to our astrological sign. I think they had 12 speakers, one focused on each group so Jimi could direct where the sound was focused while he played. I won't go into the theories behind this, it didn't seem to work out. I don't think Hendrix showed up for the film till the day of or slightly before the concert. Most of the filming was done by then as I recall. Jimi Hendrix gave a great performance that day.

flash-108 OK. Its not really a movie about Jimi Hendrix or a Jimi Hendrix concert. And yes it has a lot of hippie oriented nonsense in it. Still its a good window into times gone by. I remember seeing this in the theatre when it was released and thinking WOW what a great movie... I bought it recently and I still look at it fondly. Its worth the cost just for Hendrix's ROUSING Dolly Dagger.A fun "BLAST FROM THE PAST".
