Point Break (2015)
7/10
Entertaining movie
5 December 2015
The overall quality of Point Break (2015) is good.

Point Break is an action movie that makes its job. No rest is accorded to the public during the whole length of the movie. An interesting point is that some of the scenes are more than just action because they take place in incredible locations of the planet.

However, Point Break suffers small mistakes that could have been avoided. Fast successions of short plans during the action scenes are perturbing and prevent to fully enjoy the show. Furthermore, changes of position of camera between plans lead to the feeling of being lost. Filming such amazing scenes in a more simplistic way would have been beneficial to the movie.

The storyline could have been more interesting. One interesting idea is the one to save the planet as the "bad guys" are green fighters. It creates an ambiguity as whether to consider the bad guys as bad people or not. However the effect is partially lost by the clumsiness of the screenplay. As such, the dialogues are full of lines without clear meaning.

This movie will clearly entertains action movie fans. It will definitely not fit to people with bad heart conditions and/or looking after the meaning of life.
