Had a free redbox coupon so I thought I would give the Point Break remake a try. Soooooooooo glad I didn't pay for that mess.
The original is almost sacred (to me at least) and this remake was just horrible.
The acting was flat, everyone in Bodie's team had an accent which is fine but at least enunciate your words-don't mumble, too much cgi (there was even cgi chalk writing on a black board-why oh why?), basic story structure out the window, no emotional investment in any character, disjointed scenes, and even Utah's tattoos that were supposed to be many years old were so perfect and deep black that they looked like freshly applied paint-not like old tattoos.
The only interesting parts were the scenery. Some of the sweeping shots of the landscapes were nice.
Anyone else seen this mess? Would like to hear your thoughts.
Now I gotta go watch The Voice on Hulu to clear my mental palate.
