Vantage Point - Just saw it on Blu

[discipline]

Got Vantage Point (Blu-ray) yesterday and just watched it.. It was much better movie than I thought! If you like "24" you will definately like this one.

PQ was excellent and AQ was even better. It also got some cool PIP features.

I can recommend this movie to anyone who like a fast paced suspense/action movie. As a fan of "24" I welcome this movie since there is no "24" this year.

I want to see this, but is it one of those movies where once you know the ending you can't watch it again?

we can say so for all movies, but i see what you meant, some more than the majoity of the moves, like ight club or identity for examples, it is true for this one, but still re watchable for me who pre ordered it after watching it on theater

Same thing happened to me, as I have yet to watch my BD copy of The Prestige. The Prestige is a very good movie and so are Identity,The Skeleton Key, and The Others. However, once you watch them, they lose their thrill because the "surprise" is the primary element of the movie. I did not watch Vantage Point in the theaters so I should get my money's worth.

I have a counter thread for this title:
Vantage Point-Just downloaded it, thought it was crap. Into the recycle bin it went.

[fredbalsodn]

I may give it a rent some time looks good.

I hated it. I love 24 but idk the movie didn't do it for me. It was great until....it flashed back to the same scene x number of times. I know it was to get a different perspective but damn.

I Co-sign this.

Me too.

Maybe worth a rental, but I think the PG-13 rating ruined it, because it's written with that audience in mind.

Not to mention the idea of watching the same 20 minutes over and over again. I understand the concept of having multiple perspectives, but Rashomon this ain't.

Watcing it with DVD quality (at most) and sub-pas sound.. Sure.. It might not have been as good. People who download movies should go to the recycle bin You might have appreciated it more on Blu..

As with any other movie you can also tell from this thread that there are people who hate this movie too.. To build the suspense though, Blu-ray really helps with great visuals and a fantastic audio track. So if you are going to watch it watch it on Blu.

When I compared it to 24 I mean the suspense. I also think it is close enough to give me a short breath until the next season of 24 begins.

Oh wind your neck in. A crap movie is a crap movie, the 'Blu Placebo Effect' won't wash anymore. You can't polish a turd. Matthew Fox, stick to TV.
P.S. I apologize if this sounded overly aggressive. My red meat intake is through the roof this week.

I rented it on BD but haven't watched it yet.

I watched this movie last night and really enjoyed it. Not only was it a pretty good story, it was a terrific BD with top notch picture and sound. I am very happy that I did not cancel my pre-order (which I almost did at the last minute). I found that restarting the events of the story so many times was very challenging from a viewer’s point of view. It was like reliving a bad dream over and over again. Sony delivered pure eye candy with a terrific audio track. If Paidgeek was still part of these threads I would offer a big "Thank You" to him and his team.
