Am I the only one who refuses to see a movie in RealD:3D, or whatever the fuck they decide to call it for that movie?

3D is a distraction.

Wait until it is available for streaming, and you can avoid the pseudo-"3D" crap, as well as 30 minutes of trailers for garbage you don't want to see, and ear-splitting audio volume, and distractions from clueless rude strangers. And you can hit pause/resume any time you please.

Plus the subsonic transducers make my theater much more entertaining.
Just ask the local FD.

And if they get too loud and interrupt your viewing, you can pause and tell those kids outside to get off your lawn!

Great. Now we'll have a whole new generation of students showing up the the DZ wanting to make 3 minute freefalls and "open the chute at the last possible second!"

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I normally hate 3D movies but Mad Max was awesome, hopefully this reboot will not be a disaster.

The last one doubled USPA membership. I suspect the sport will cope.

Fine with me. It will keep us busier for a season or two.

Edit: I think it was 2:02 minutes and 4:02 minutes if I recall correctly.

Now this is funny:

Bojesse Christopher who plays the FBI director was in the 1991 version of "Point Break" as well. He played Grommet, one of the surfer/bank robbers, the one who wore the LBJ mask.

We'll see how they screw it up come Christmas!

Meh, looks like a damn XXX movie that got a die hard movie pregnant.

Just too over the top. Granted to original was unrealistic in terms of freefall delay, but it didn't drown you in never ending extreme situations.

Too many movies today seem to be like watching a video game, with one unbelievable escape after another.

Apparently Point break inspired Florez. And Jebs in it too. Imagine that. Id'a liked Joao in it better. Swooping thru the hanger at SSC. http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/04/22/cinemacon-2015-first-look-at-the-point-break-reboot

Than never to have loved at all.

in the original a belly flying skydive was extreme, now that's nothing, gotta have wingsuit base

If they had remade it at a certain point it would have been skysurfing, right? Whatever has the public's imagination at the time.

[BillyVance 34]

Regardless of how well made the reboot is, I will always have a strong connection to the original.

The Point Break King Air ran at my home DZ for a while. Made a bunch of jumps out of it. It was owned by George Ireland at the time IIRC.

Great 3D action flick. I found myself instinctively ducking several times to avoid things flying towards me.
