Vantage Point - Just saw it on Blu - Blu-ray Forum

discipline · 06-24-2008, 10:03 PM

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?

saprano · 06-24-2008, 10:04 PM

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

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

fredbalsodn · 06-24-2008, 11:52 PM

I may give it a rent some time looks good.

sfmarine · 06-25-2008, 12:52 AM

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 did just see a commercial for this movie where they only talked about the blu-ray and showed what was exclusive to the BD and didn't even mention DVD at all in the commercial.

mrgreed202 · 06-25-2008, 01:03 AM

yeah thats another movie i love but get pissed off at people for. theres so many boring people who cant stand something different if you know what i mean. the movie is called "vantage point" and i think it was the coolest way to show it.

uggh it sickens me how people want a movie thats created, shaped, and ended just like they want it too.

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.

Captain Fryyy · 06-25-2008, 02:09 AM

Good to know, ive heard scattered reviews about this but now it sounds worth the $$.

QOTSA1 · 06-25-2008, 02:41 AM

I thought this movie was crap. Good idea, but very poorly executed.

Marquoz · 06-25-2008, 03:41 AM

I saw it in movie theaters, and regret wasting my money and time on it. The idea was half baked to begin with, and I felt like I barely got to see any of the movie. I felt like I only ended up watching maybe 20 minutes total of a lot longer movie, and that the rest was just fluff filler.

xwingsct · 06-25-2008, 07:25 AM

I saw it in theater and I like it. I would have liked it even more if they edited it differently instead of going back to the same scene. It's like hitting rewind button. I mean how many time can you watch the same scene over and over again. Everytime they do that I heard people next to me saying that here we go again.
