In its philosophical and criminal investigations (largely imported from Kathryn Bigelow's original), the film moves in dozens of illogical directions, but not without achieving a patina of earnest credibility. Read full review

“Bodhi,” in Sanskrit, is short for “being of wisdom.” In Hawaii, “Keanu” means “cool mountain breeze.” And, in Hollywood, Point Break means never having to bother with a plausible plot. Read full review

Nowhere does Mr. Core’s film approach the action-movie chops or psychological smarts of Ms. Bigelow’s original or, truth be told, benefit from actors displaying the same charm as her stars. But for a number of liberating airborne seconds, none of that may matter. Read full review

The idea of remaking "Point Break" was not necessarily a bad idea, I suppose, but whatever charms that film might have had, they are utterly lost on the people behind this embarrassment. Read full review

The first “Point Break” was absurd and hyper-macho, but the director committed to the story enough to make it, at the very least, vibrantly watchable. This remake offers nothing but the absurdity, along with a handful of impressive stunt sequences that are both its reason for being and a complete distraction from what little story is happening here.

Uninterested in competing on the bromance front, or even on the action-thriller front, this new Point Break often plays like an extreme-sports documentary with bits of narrative interstitials to carry us along. Read full review

The original was indeed ludicrous, but it exuded warmth, vitality, and belief in itself. The 2.0 update splashes up on shore DOA. Read full review

Professional movie criticism is dead after the debacle that is Star Wars: The Force Awakens. What is it about this movie that professional studio shills and spruikers don't like? It's not an unadvertised shoddy remake of a movie made decades ago? Professional Film Critics are laughable joke, totally lacking in integrity.… Expand

Awesome movie. Very surprised at the many poor reviews, especially from all the wack jobs that call themselves critics. It rocked!

Very surprised at the many poor reviews, especially from all the wack jobs that call themselves critics. It rocked! Dont let these bonehead critics and other 2 cent reviews here sway you from seeing this cool, hip beautifully filmed movie. This film is exactly what it intended to be, a loose remake of a cool, innovative, unique movie fro 1991. It has many of the things that made the first movie special and it is for modern times. Of course its not a comedy, nor romance, but it does live on the the edge of extreme real life. Truly beautiful and amazing filming of some of the most gorgeous locations in the world - on the big screen - where these movies should be seen! Good acting, good quotes to take away and a good philosophical message to think about - that is if you think...… Expand

Most deserved remake, but relying on CGI for everything ruined it.

This movie is only about stunts, the story wise, it's a great disappointment. I have seen the old version, for a 90s movie, the actions were fantastic with an awesome story. In this remake I don't know where's the story,Most deserved remake, but relying on CGI for everything ruined it.

This movie is only about stunts, the story wise, it's a great disappointment. I have seen the old version, for a 90s movie, the actions were fantastic with an awesome story. In this remake I don't know where's the story, the characters were underdeveloped and it rushed towards the end with plenty of high octane action sequences everywhere. This formula won't work all the time like '300' and 'Fury Road', but it's really good for watching in digital 3D.

The story was kind of sameness, but slightly altered, especially about that 8 ordeal and stunts were obviously freshly designed. The graphic works were weak in some parts, it failed to give a natured effect. Yeah, I think CGI is the issue, the movie relied on it for everything.

The cast performances were fine, but a big star in the lead might have given a different result. It's entertaining, but that was not enough these days, especially for a cop movie we expect details, not just physical tricks. IMO its a one time watch movie, or better try the original.

Basically the main reason to watch this is if you want to see x-games style action - snowboarding, windsurfing and all that, but the actual thriller part or action movie part is left in the second plan. Also the acting is a bit bad at some points and some choices the main character makes are just dumb. The x-games stuff and how it is shot is quite cool though.… Expand

This movie just went stunt to stunt and all of it was on the trailer. It looked like they didn't hire actors but instead just stuntmen. i believe that if this wasn't called point break it would have been better.

Oh yeah and great respectful honoring of Patrick's legacy.
Way to not screw that up. Tard.
