Blu- Ray] | Movieman's Guide to the Movies > > The Final Word on Blu- rays, DVDs and Movies!: :THE FILM: . Considering I do not go to the theaters all that much anymore, I never had a chance to see the trailer that was played over and over so many times. I really had no idea what the film was about (as I typically do not read the back of the DVD/Blu- ray because too many times it has spoiled the movie for me) and instead put the disc directly in my PS3 and hoped I would be wowed. In this case, I was pleasantly surprised and a bit disappointed at the same time.

For sale I have a like new Vantage Point (+ BD Live) [Blu-ray]. Product Description During an historic counter-terrorism summit in Spain, the President of the United States is struck down by an. Nearly all of the film takes place in Salamanca, Spain where a summit is being held for the President to speak about terrorism. During the summit the President is shot and for the rest of the film we see what took place (and who did it) through eight different characters. Some may only add an additional minute to the story (or a few small bit of information), others may add a completely different twist on who did it and why. While the film is a bit predictable, it has some amazing performances that push this average thriller into above- average territory. Unfortunately, Vantage Point is pretty much over in the first 1. After that, each perspective we see adds another minute or two to the story, while the final 'perspective' ties the film up with a nice little bow. If the film had an additional five to 1. I believe we could have had a much better movie that would help viewers care a bit more for some of the characters. The film has a fairly all- star cast attached to it. With the likes of Dennis Quaid, William Hurt, Forrest Whitaker, Sigourney Weaver and Matthew Fox, I was pretty damn impressed with every ones performance. While Dennis Quaid and Forrest Whitaker have more screen time, I was not disappointed at all with anyone else. Sigourney, to me, played a pretty small role and barely has any lines, while Matthew Fox reminded me way much of his character Jack Sheppard on Lost (even that stupid smirk he always does). Granted, they are not A List stars, but I think they deserved to get their characters fleshed out a bit more. Its tough because I really thought the film could have been better if it had another 3. I was shocked to see the running time was only 9. Maybe another character perspective (the young anchor at the start? Matthew Fox?) could have helped, but overall its just a film that ends way to quickly and has very little replay value after that. SPECIAL FEATURES: . Here we get a mixed bag of features. I made note which ones were SD and HD. Vantage Viewer GPS Tracker (Profile 1. Players only) - A neat feature similar to that of Paramounts Cloverfield. It has a bit more action in Vantage Point (with multiple characters and all), but still kind of of a useless feature. Its something you would enable after watching the film otherwise it will ruin the entire film. Blu- ray Exclusive **Commentary with Director Peter Travis - Considering this film is Peter Travis' debut, he doesn't have a whole lot to discuss. While I enjoyed this, I think it would have been better if Dennis Quaid or Matthew Fox had joined him. Ive never been a big fan of a one person commentary before, and my opinion had not changed in over ten years. Surveillance Tapes: Outtake (SD) - Ugh. This is the director pretending to be a character who was cut from the film. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. An Inside Perspective: Interviews with the Cast and Crew (HD) - This is your typical Behind the Scenes feature. While the cast and crew do give us their little insights on the film and whatnot, a bit of this was already discussed in the Commentary and other special features. Plotting an Assassination (HD) - This goes into how Vantage Point as a story was conceived. Coordination Chaos: Stunt Featurette (SD) - A pretty good luck at how some of the stunt scenes were filmed. Shame this was in SD. BD- Live - The case fails to mention that Vantage Point is BD- Live capable. While other titles take me 3. BD- Live portal page here it took me five minutes. Along with some trailers for upcoming Blu- ray releases is the following: Trick Geography (SD) - A small look at how the main attraction for the movie, Salamanca Spain was recreated in Mexico City. Pretty good stuff here. Enhancing the View (SD) - Yet another small look at how the crowd scene was created. Kudos to Sony for providing two additional features not advertised on the case. Both are small little fluff features and not something those without BD- Live will miss. Its a shame they are both in SD, but hey, their freebies! Now if only Sony could work on the speed of downloading... A personal note here if you do connect through BD- Live Sony has included a small, 1. I urge everyone to take part in. It only took me 2 minutes and nearly all of the questions are regarding Blu- ray designed to help improve features in future titles. AUDIO & VIDEO: . Vantage Point in presented in its Original Aspect Ratio 2. AVC/MPEG- 4) on a 5. GB disc. Talk about demo worthy! Everything about this film looks great. The explosions, car chases, and small minute details like the colors on the flags.. At one point I was able to notice a small cloth thread hanging off of Forrest Whitaker's shirt. Everything from the cars, to the clothes to the location looks marvelous! Sony had included an English Dolby True. HD 5. 1 Track as well as a standard Dolby Digital 5. French, Spanish, Portuguese and Thai. Once again Sony has done a great job on the True. HD track which sounds spectacular. Since the film tends to replay several scenes more than once, you will feel the impact of the explosions and gunshots over and over again and each time it proved to be very powerful. The car chase in particular is pretty heart- pounding. OVERALL: . Vantage Point would make a great rental but maybe not a purchase. Its hard to see myself ever wanting to watch the film again because once you know the ending, its hard to really get into the story again. The Blu- ray release includes a decent selection of special features and one of the best Blu- ray transfers I have ever seen. If you want show off your system, this would make a great title to do so with.
