Point Annihilation

About This Movie

Point Annihilation has this raw energy, you know? The way it dives into Grub’s turmoil between surf culture and deeper connections is pretty compelling. The pacing can feel a bit languid at times, which actually works in its favor, allowing the tension between characters to simmer. Claw, played with a gritty authenticity, embodies the shadow of past glory—while Vanessa is this ethereal force, her character is layered with myth and realism. The tattoo artistry in the film, it’s striking, and adds a visual depth that feels almost spiritual. Really, it’s a meditation on identity and tradition wrapped in a surf drama, and it doesn’t shy away from the darker aspects of desire and ambition. Not your typical surf flick, that’s for sure.

Explores Maori mythology subtly · Strong themes of identity and tradition · Unique surf culture perspective
