View Full Version : Splinterheads the Movie......
al'Thor 02-08-2010, 09:53 AM Don't know if you all have seen this or not, but thought I'd share. My friend just sent me a link to Splinterheads. It's a boy meets girl type love story, but whats cool is the girl is a geocacher and takes boy on caching adventures. It is supposed to be released on DVD Feb 16! It has a couple of known actors in it and seems to be a fairly well put together movie.

Team V3 02-08-2010, 09:55 AM I thought the actual release date was February 23rd?
al'Thor 02-08-2010, 09:57 AM It might be....I got the 16th from its Facebook fan site. It said that the release date had been moved up to the 16th.
Team V3 02-08-2010, 10:00 AM And Amazon has that for a date as well. Maybe it was originally the 23rd and as you said it had been moved up. I have read some good reviews about the movie. They showed it at an event a while back and there were very mixed comments. I remember reading one that said that the movie was funny but they should not have showed it at an event because of the "colorful" language :)
CARoperPhotography 02-08-2010, 05:30 PM I remember seeing the preview clips for it on Geocaching.com but do not recall seeing it released into the theaters...
Team V3 02-09-2010, 04:34 PM I think it had very limited exposure. Too many movies don't even make it to Maine.
Moonsouth 02-26-2010, 06:33 PM I just watched Splinterheads on dvd. I thought it was really good. I laughed and laughed. I guess it would depend on your age group whether you may enjoy it or not. I thought they represented geocaching very well.

Did you buy it or rent it, and where did you find it.

I got it from netflix, they mailed it to my house.
masterson of the universe 02-28-2010, 09:53 PM Just got done watching this via Netflix as well and it was an ok movie. It definitely is not geared towards kids as there is a substantial amount of profanity. I believe Gallaxy must have been using a Magellan as she couldn't seem to find her way when caching is first mentioned in the movie. :)

Haha...yeah I think they make it seem a whole lot harder to find a cache than it really is. Still cool to see the sport promoted though. Thats right, I called it a sport.

If chess can be called a sport then anything can be called a sport :)

How much of geocaching is involved in the movie? I saw a trailer but didn't see any geocaching there :)
Haffy 03-01-2010, 12:29 PM Speaking of movies,has anyone seen "GPS the Movie" yet? Was wondering how that stacked up to the "Splinterheads" movie.

Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vSWSXaAyP4 , thats pretty much all the geocaching in the movie...there are a couple of other "micro" scenes :)
brdad 03-20-2010, 08:04 PM We watched this movie tonight. It was a decent story, but as Masterson said there was a lot of profanity. More than I care for personally and much more than most kids should be seeing which is unfortunate. Two caches found in the movie and owner maintenance on another. And the micro wasn't a dumb LPC either. :p
