anyone seen this movie? premise was kinda new...showing diff angles on how the prez got shot

just it gets redundant after the 5th time lol


then how all this BS sequences/scenes mesh up and just happens to all aligned up at the right times is far fetched, fake as hell!!!

usa prez looked so ghey :twisted:

I was forced to watch this CRAP...Pure Garbage, the "story" could have been told in 30 minutes instead of 2 hours!

Stay FAR FAR away if you want to see a good movie, if you like crappy movies its perfect for you.

Uh... I liked it

There's a reason why it's called "Vantage Point"

Its plays on the terrorism theme (not very well might i add) which is played out...its so ****ing cheezy at the end and i know its called Vantage Point but come on...6 times, over and over and over and over and over and over again? After the 3rd time i wanted to leave...

Plus whats with the blue chevy, the thing never dies after multiple huge hits AND its a manual car yet we see him driving it like a auto UNTIL he downshifts for one scene.

I went with a group of 8 people and not one of us liked it and everyone but me wanted to see this movie.

my brother saw this last week and said it was one of the worst movies he's ever seen, and he normally isn't the type to bash a movie =\

i think i'll wait for the dvd rental

I haven't seen the movie yet but the trailer looked like there would be a really really cheezy plot twist. I'll probably just put this on my Ipod to watch on the subway one day.

I completely agree with you. So far this year the movies have been terrible. No Country wasn't a bad film, but it was average at best.

Ok when they replayed the same scene 18 times, that got a bit annoying and was unnecessary. They should've cut out the stuff we've seen and replaced it with something else. Bad editing job, but still liked it.

45 minutes of story - with 20 minutes repeated but only 2 mins of new information each "cycle".

A creative story teller would have given you insight - mystery - and involved the audience. The story was too straight forward, not thought compelling enough and the director laid out a perfect path with all of the answers....


Pretty lazy writting if you ask me. It's a good movie for those that want to just veg and have the story spoon fed to them. Personally, i believe the movie was marketed poorly, which is why i was disappointed. I was under the impression that this was a who-dun-it or mystery where I would have to be as perceptive as possible to figure out the culprit.

Rating: C- at best.

I'm pretty sure people understood the concept before going in to watch this. The concept is good, the movie just failed to deliver. The plot was ridiculously shallow, and I felt stupid (not because it was difficult to grasp) while watching it.

Meh, it was pretty bad. The acting was HORRIBLE. So unconvincing. The movie did keep me wanting to see what was gonna happen next, i'll give it that much, but the ending was pretty anti climactic, heh. It was just like "oh... those guys die and these people live." Meh.

The good thing is, we were 3/4 through the movie when the film got jammed and melted! Haha, never seen that for real before. Anyways, we each got 2 free passes. I just watched the ending online.

I closed my eyes when they did the 5th rewind scene - watching this movie just made my head spin.

Yes, ppl were laughing at the ending.
