In the first scene two eXtreme bikers ride a trail on top of a mountain ridge where they have no business riding a bike. Seven years later Johnny Utah (Luke Bracey) is in the FBI. When a group of international criminals catch the attention of the FBI, Johnny surmises the group are "Chasing the 8" in an attempt to achieve Nirvana. He infiltrates the group lead by Bodhi (Édgar Ramírez). He discovers they want to save the world by giving back to the earth. They perform Robin Hood stunts which include their eXtreme talents. They start fires while rubbing sticks together while wearing synthetic suits made in the third world, go figure.The film reminded me of those old IMAX films of eXtreme sports that didn't have a plot. In this case they wove a plot in between a frequent amount of dare devil stunts, one where everyone wore different colored suits looking like Power Rangers. The film is not particularly plot driven, and if you are not going to watch it in 3D or IMAX, don't bother. Scenes include dirt bikes, sky diving, snow boarding, surfing, diving, boxing, and whatever they called that with the avalanche.Guide: 1 soft F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

This is like watching two movies in one. The extreme sports scenes are really awesome. On the other side, the basic action story is awful. It's like I want to give it a 10 for some sections and a 1 grade for others. Very disturbing. What finally made it a "these are 2 hours of my life I never get back"-feeling for me was the horrible ending. So true to the original, still sucked like a vacuum cleaner on roids...Sorry. Only watchable if you fast forward between the extreme sports scenes.

I felt adrenaline at the end because it ends in a big mountain with three people climbing the mountain and one person dies because he gives up. But before I felt scared because they do a lot of dangerous stunts and the whole team dies. In general I recommend watching this movie because it is fun and makes you feel a lot of adrenaline.

In my 40 years of movie watching I have never ever seen such a bad re-make. If this was a Stand Alone movie it would still only just be watchable. If extreme sports are your thing and story is not an issue then you may enjoy it (just), the set pieces are terrible, the acting is macho (to the point of What Is This Movie about, just be a man and it will be OK). The movie's CGI is good (what else would you expect from this budget). I hope I am not alone in thinking "what did they do to the script?" "What did they do!" Everything that could have made this re-make bad they did! 10 fold! I hope in the coming years this is done with the panache and grittiness the original did so well.
