It’s no longer a bad dream. The Point Break remake is definitely happening now. With the release of the first trailer we get to see just how the remake differs from the original, and boy, how it differs!
Filled with over the top action that would be better suited in an outrageous movie franchise instead of a much beloved cult-classic, Point Break [2015] looks set to go all serious on us from Point Break [1991]. While surfing is still on the agenda, you can now add BASE jumping, dirt biking, snowboarding, wing suiting and probably many more extreme sports for our bank-robbing thrill-seeking villains to be ridiculously good at.
The trailer, which is so far and away from the simplistic ‘surfer dudes robbing banks wearing president masks’ is filled with quite a few diabolical lines in the two minutes and twenty one second time frame. It’s hard to choose between new Johhny Utah’s (Luke Bracey)”I believe these people, like me, they’re extreme athletes, using their skills to disrupt the international financial markets” or new Bodhi’s (Edgar Ramirez) “The only law that matters is gravity” to which is truly worse.
While some people may enjoy the new larger than life spin, many fans (most fans really) of the original are vocally negative about the trailer on Twitter, so it’s fair to say Point Break [2015] is going to be in for a bit of a rough ride come December 25th 2015 int he US and January 8th, 2016 in the UK…or you could just buy the original instead?
