Good start, but then it gets ruined
The first must-see film of the year.
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.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
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!
The original Point Break (1991) had something special and unique about it, from the performances to the overall action, mystery and suspense. However, this remake, a lot of what made the original great is missing and non existent. The lack of suspense and thrills is gone, as well as the overall charm. It isn't nearly as enjoyable and witty like the original and makes us wonder as to why this film was remade. We all knew they would not top the original, especially given the cast but this remake could have been a lot better. Overall, Point Break (2015) is bland, generic and quite a waste of time. Disappointed, this film is as bad as critics and fans are saying.
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.
Yes, the characters and motivations are fairly shallow, although enviro-spiritualism should be recognizably trendy. Yet, the action and the scenery is inspiring. In comparison, this is like a Bond movie : 1) Bad guy willing to to use any means to an end meets good guy trying to stop him. 2) Good guy and bad guy might even find some shared values and love interests. 3) Together they race through beautiful scenery with sometimes implausible technological assists. 4) Creating a bit of suspense amidst a lot of amazing visual perspectives. I generally rate Bond movies 6 to 8. This Point Break remake is at least as good as Bond action and better in some ways - mainly it's a bit more plausible. Instead of a super spy and diabolical bad guy both with unreal tech tools, it's 'sort of real' extreme athletes doing radically dangerous action. Just enjoy the scenery and stunt action.
