    Awesome True Story

    If you are looking for a feel good film like I was. 1480 Radio Pirates delivers a great story which sucks you into the journey of the main players and their quest for glory! The world of the 1960's and music resonated with me which was weird because I was born in 1985. Never boring and the ensemble cast collectively were all believable in their characters part in the story. Totally recommend for an entertaining watch. Well done! 9/10 Stars.

    A true New Zealand Gem

    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.

    Fantastic film

    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.

    Great Piece of NZ History

    Enjoyable nostalgic film. The characters portrayed the humble, laidback, affable mannerism of the kiwi of yesteryear.
