Audience Member The movie is great. The reviews for it are laughable. It's entertaining, cool premise, the acting is good. I'm keeping it now in 2025 for my collection but saw it in the theatre and enjoyed it then. The concept of it has been done in a few other movies- I wouldn't say over done nor would I say the movie style detracts in any way. I'm puzzled by the lack of love. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/24/25 Full Review A.L.Jude P So much potential had to be a great epic, but too much surreal dramatization made it vanished. Yet could be some inspiration for to come similar good ones.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Jace E I absolutely love the idea of Vantage Point. I am fascinated by the idea of the same story told through different points of view, all culminating in an "aha moment" where the terrorist plot is revealed. Unfortunately, this movie does not deliver on that promise. The plot is intensely convoluted and jam-packed into the 90 minute runtime. We spend way too much time with some characters, not enough time with others and many plot points are either pointless or left unfinished. The character depth is non-existent and I left wondering why the movie needed to be told from different vantage points (sadly). I would love to see what a strong writing team and director could do with this concept, because on its surface it is intriguing. Best Character: Howard Best Quote: "The beauty of American arrogance is that they can't imagine a world where they're not a step ahead." - Suarez Best Scene: The first jump back to the beginning. Note: Forest Whitaker is the only strong actor of the bunch and I loved his scenes. Note 2: Hearing Dennis Quaid shout in his hand for "Control!" over and over again was particularly irksome. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review David P This was the first movie I’ve ever witnessed an audience get angry at while watching. The “rewind” concept was interesting the first two times, but eventually, the crowd grew tired and began booing the movie and yelling, “Oh come on!” after each new flashback. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Audience Member This wasn't a bad movie, but I also didn't love it. I feel like they did the rewind one or two times too many. I did think the premise was cool, but unfortunately a certain actor is so obviously bad that the twist was very weak.
