Point Break (DVD)

Different enough from the original to not be a copy while having a similar plot.

Just wait until you see some of the scenes in this masterpiece. This movie delivers just like the original and even better.

Great remake of the original!

Overall a good movie. But I will still put the original as number 1. But time change and the new generation may enjoy better than me.

If you love extreme sports and action movies you will love this movie!Motor cross, surfing, parachuting, rock climbing, etc. From the desert to the mountains to the ocean the cinematography was beautiful. This is an instant classic on it’s own. One of the best movies in a while.Point Break is a surfing term so it should have had a different title. They really didn’t need to ride the coattails of the original.

If you intend to replace or continue a cult classic you should take the time to develop it correctly. Let me start with the positives. The scenery and cinematography are beautiful as a matter of fact beautiful is an understatement. The idea of the Ozaki 8 was original and captivating. The plot line has a gripping feel that pulls you in and interests you as to how far they can take it and you want to be connected to it. The problem is that never really happens. The cast is well chosen and placed in their rolls. I couldn't recommend replacing any of them, I just felt they were all under utilized. Lol ok so that wasn't all positive but I am just so disappointed.Now, the overwhelming disappointments. This movie, in my opinion, could have been 3 hours long and kept my attention and frankly it needed to be. They needed to dig deeper into the stories of the characters and connect us to them. None of the characters are developed, meaning there are no story lines of who each one is. They are just thrown in and you are expected to know everything about them. They should have built more on the planning of the Ozaki ordeals and how they chose where to do them. They could have delved much deeper into everything. Nothing flowed, it was a nature of ok they are doing this now they are doing something else is was missing a continuity. I will not spoil a lot of the movie in the rest of the review but some aspects need to be clearly pointed out. The female lead (Teresa Parker as "Samsara") makes almost no appearances and we are expected to just know Johnny is in love with her. There is no connection. You will see this very distinctly through the movie. She makes her appearances and it leaves you wanting to see and know more about her but the substance just isn't there. The connection between she and Johnny is another aspect just thrown in.As for Johnny Utah ( Luke Bracey) the movie starts with a loss of a friend (Jeff) who is supposedly his best friend/brother and we know nothing about how or why they are so close. He is supposedly a multi discipline extreme sports master and we know nothing about it. This is the same for every character. There is no way to build a connection to any of them because they are all just thrown in to the movie. The characters aren't built they are placed.Papas, who is played by a brilliant actor (Ray Winstone) is only there because he was in the original it seems. Extremely under utilized. When Johnny is told he will be paired with Papas the director says he's an "acquired taste". If you have seen the original movie that is a statement you would believe about the original character. In this 2015 version he just seems like another serious cop/fbi agent and his role is extremely minor and under exaggerated.There is no connection built between any of the roles like there were in the original. It felt very thrown together. I wish they would redo this film not worrying about length. This story had the ability to outdo the original by miles and become an all time great movie. It was a wasted opportunity. It grabbed me and let me fall all at the same moment.

GREAT action movie.... Not supposed to be the old one ( which I have ), So if you look at it like a new adventure then its a adrenalin super sports movie rush.... Enjoyed.

Some reviews say it's not like the original. It wasn't supposed to be like the original. If they wanted it to be like the original, they would have made it that way. If people are trashing this movie because "it wasn't like the original" or " it's classic remake garbage", you missed the point of the movie and you probably don't deserve to understand.This movie was fantastic. I loved this movie. It makes me want to be better to the environment and it makes me want to give back. Like Samsara said, even if it as little as planting a tree. I'm glad I researched this movie because Edgar Ramirez truly believed in this movie. Not just it being an action film but what point it was trying to get across and that is about taking care of the earth. No, we don't have to become peace loving hippies, but take care of where you live.This is great story and there are multiple great underlying lessons in this movie if you choose to pay attention to them. Some people might bash me and say I don't know what I'm talking about or that if it was a different movie, why did they name it the same. The answer is, who cares. What you should take away from this movie is the message it is trying to get across. Edgar Ramirez said himself “We went to the most beautiful places in the world that exist right now. In 30 or 40 years those places are going to go away. We were shooting in such extreme locations. Some of the glaciers where we shot, will be melted. They are building a lot of gold mines near Angel Falls…so who knows what’s going to be there decades from now?”. Edgar Ramirez really believed in this movie and being in touch with nature and having self-determination and renewing the human spirit in a spiritual way.It might just be a movie to you and that is ok. You may not see any point in it at all other than just another action film and that is ok but you would be missing out on so much more.It's a great movie and if you can find the message in it, you've benefited.

Loved it. Great plot. Seen it three times. Wish there were more 3D videos on sale.

De superbes images un bon son à avoir pour les amateurs de montagne et de sensations fortes

Nice

キアヌ・リーヴスのハートブルーがお気に入り（特にスカイダイビングの地上風景は最高）で、ＢＤは無さそうなのでこれを買ってみた。カメラワークも含めてとても良い映画だ。BDなので当然画質も良いが、ホームシアター（当方100inch設置)でも十分楽しめる。値段も安く日本のリージョンで見れるとAmazon画面にあったので、海外からの発送（？）とちょっと心配していたけど問題なく、数か国対応だった。オススメだよ～

Wer den ersten "ursprünglichen" Teil mit Patrick Swayze (Bohdi) und Keanu Reeves (Utah) gesehen hat dem muss nicht viel zur Geschichte erzählt werden. Auch den anderen möchte ich nicht zu viel verraten weil ich vielleicht sonst unabsichtlich Spoilere. Nur soviel: Guter Bulle (Agent) wird von charismatischem Bad Boy eingefangen und hadert evtl. mit seiner Rechtschaffenheit und seinem Weltbild.Also grundsätzlich nichts wirklich "neues". Ich persönlich habe das Original schon unzählige male gesehen. Mal davon abgesehen das ich beide Hauptdarsteller sehr gerne sehe finde ich haben sie sich sehr gut ergänzt. Swayze hat diese charismatische Ausstrahlung sehr gut rüber gebracht die alle in seiner Umgebung dazu bringt sich ihm anschließen zu wollen. Daher war ich skeptisch was die Neuauflage anging. Aber ich muss sagen ich bin sehr sehr positiv überrascht.Gesehen habe ich den Film zum ersten mal auf einem Langstreckenflug. Ich dachte mir, schau ihn hier, da kann nichts kaputt gehen. Bevor ich evtl. Geld für eine BD ausgebe. Gesagt getan. Und ich war total gefesselt.Die Story ist in Ihren Grundzügen die gleiche geblieben. Sie wurde lediglich modernisiert und hier und da vielleicht ein klein wenig abgewandelt. Aber alles in allem sehr dicht am Original.Zu den Schauspielern. Sehr gut besetzt meiner Meinung nach. Ramirez (Das Bourne Ultimatum, 8 Blickwinkel) und Bracey (G.I. Joe - Die Abrechnung, The Best of Me) harmonieren in meinen Augen sehr gut zusammen. Besonders gelungen finde die Kaltschnäutzigkeit mit der Bohdi auf die Unglücksfälle in eigenen Reihen reagiert... wow. Da möchte man am liebsten auf die Leinwand hüpfen und ihm eine Reinhauen (zumindest ich) Persönlich fand ich gut das die anderen aus Bodhi's Gruppe hier ein wenig mehr "Spielzeit" haben als im Original. Chowder, Roach und Grommet spielen, nicht unbedingt zentrale, aber doch sehr wichtige Rollen.Als Frau bekommt man auch einige schöne Ausblicke auf gut definierte Männer (Ober-)Körper. Aber das nur am Rande ;-)Zusammenfassend kann ich sagen der Film lohnt sich. Actionreich, spannend und hier und da auch Nervenaufreibend. Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung.
