Save your money for something good and enjoyable

An Exercise In Nonsense

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The much sought answer lies right here, look no further, in the NU Point Break! This is my second review on this film, now I know its broaching IMDB propriety, but I say to hell with the rules, its Point Fn Break! I watched both last night, and since I've seen the first a zillion times, I started the affair with the second, so let me throw some things straight up...the lil' bank scene here , was so replete with everything one could desire that it felt like that ordeal in HEAT, but this was in seconds, and it was beautiful.... To go back in time to do complete all the ordeals here, its poetry , This felt like Point break not on steroids but pumped up with some good ol' fashion hormones , and god knows what else, everything under the kitchen sink! this is a thematic Point break wholly inclusive in its single aim, to satisfy everyone, not just the exclusive fans of the first, daresay glorious and beautiful in its callow pretext, OK, look , I give everything a ten because god knows what it takes to make a film, but I keep it real with words, but what are words when action can speak on a monumental level and this point break speaks boundless smashing all levels right in our faces and they did it with style beyond style, and yes there is only one Bodie, but this guy did a great job respectively knowing the shoes he was trying to fill the beloved role we all know and love, and yes Utah here and now that role is not irreplaceable, but both are excellent Keanu and this new Kenau I don't know his name but did a stellar job indeed , but while Keanu or rather his stunt guy was smashing a few windows and spitting into lawnmowers , come on, credit is due were its due , this is on a whole new level meritorious indeed, jumping off cliffs, motorcycling off cliffs into lil' mountains, climbing up god knows what and then jumping off, flying a supersonic speeds inches above ground, and more all fraught with not just cool dialogue but universal and inclusive in its learned profundity, stellar writing! So no, nobody rides for free, this point break took the lil' bebe shoes of old and stepped it up on the level of Mount Olympus with the gods for the gods, we were just there for the ride and whether for free we payed with this super insane over the top old-school narly into the new world radical stellar affair, and I think if the real Bowdie were here, god rest Patrick's soul, yes we love him, I yet daresay Bowdie up in the sky or whatever parallel universe he is riding some big ass waves surely, is looking at this here Bowdie and smiling , maybe saying something like Goddamn, my Point break combined with this new one is a perfect ending to a radical life , free yourselves of the past guys, and keep riding the big ass ride , for free or not, cause I know I payed with my nerves trying to keep up with all this incredibly fun harebrained madness!

Was scared to watch it being a huge fan of the original. But they surprised me. liked the cast. Couple far fetched scenes but what do you expect. i can hardly get through a fast and furious film cause its too much, this wasnt some how for me...enjoyable to watch, once again, in 3D.

Imagine making a film about a woman that works as a cashier at a food court that has recently been opened inside an upscale jewelry store and calling it Breakfast at Tiffany's. Imagine making a film about a Russian immigrant that opens a pain meds clinic in the United States and calling it Doctor Zhivago. You get the idea. Neither of the ideas that I have listed here is inherently terrible, although neither one would probably be a masterpiece. The problem with these two ideas is that I have taken the title of a previously made film that was of a very high quality and a classic and grafted it onto my so-so film ideas. That is the problem with the 2015 "remake" of Point Break, a film released in 1991 about a group of extreme sports aficionados that finance their globetrotting pursuit of their hobby by robbing banks. That film was filled with imaginative storytelling and great action sequences and is the kind of film that you can watch over and over again.Here's the thing. The 2015 version of Point Break is about a group of extreme sports aficionados that commit crimes not to finance their lifestyle, but as part of some high minded mumbo jumbo filled spiritual quest. In itself the 2015 film is not completely terrible, it just seems that way because the creators decided to graft the title of a really great and memorable film onto it and doomed it to being compared to a much better film. They should have called it Spirit Quest. I give it 4 out of 10 stars.

I already didn't have a high opinion of the movie before even starting watching it and that's because I don't really like remakes unless they are much better. But after watching it I was surprised it wasn't actually a complete copy of the 1991 Point Break. The story is different in many points but unfortunately it isn't better. The good thing about the movie are the stunts and the nature shots. But it was just not enough to make it a good movie. It's an average movie with special effects that could have been much better when you see the budget they had. The acting was just okay without being great. It's just the story that was lousy written. And that's the most important thing for any movie. If you don't have a good script you don't get a good movie. That's a fact.
