This weekend, I watched the 2008 gimmick thriller "Vantage Point," in which we see the events surrounding a shooting in Spain of the President of the United States repeatedly from multiple vantage points. Here I present different perspectives of the movie. Can you guess which one is really mine?
*Dude! This movie was rad! It was awesome!
*"Vantage Point?" Is that the one we saw last week? It had a lot of shooting and explosions in it, didn't it? No, I didn't care for it."
*Me gusta mucho "Vantage Point." Es numero uno.
*Snappy action movie with political overtones. You'll be able to "Point" to this one in my top 10 of 2008!"
*WOOF! WOOF!
*"Vantage Point?" Dreck like this is the best you puny Earthlings can manage? If this represents the pinnacle of your culture, the human race will indeed be easily dominated when the invasion is finally triggered by the Overlords.
*"Vantage Point" wastes the potential of its conceit by using it to bore us into submission; instead of revealing new and interesting things with the different viewpoints, it serves as an excuse to pad about 20 minutes of story into an hour and a half. What story there is is ludicrous, marked by nonsensical plot contrivances and weak dialogue. Furthermore, no actor comes off well here, and this may well be the worst-acted theatrical feature (with a "name" cast) of the year. This is a waste of time unless you sit down expecting the worst and enjoy it for unintended comedy value.
