Review of Action Point (2018) by Grantd243 — 03 Jun 2018
For a movie about an amusement park that's supposed to be nothing but fun, Action Point isn't very fun to watch. There are a few moments of amusement when characters do Jackass type stunts and end up in quite a bit of pain.
But apart from those few brief moments, Action Point isn't very funny, and frankly it's pretty boring. I found myself thinking about what kind of food I was going to pick up after I left the theater, and that's not what I want to be doing when I'm watching a 1.
5 hour comedy. The story is quite cliched and is pretty typical of a movie of this nature. The problem is that while a comedy is usually able to get by with a less-than-stellar story because it's ultimately a funny movie.
..Action Point doesn't succeed in the comedy department. The story is also told in a past-present format and there was no need, at all, for the "present" storyline. It was completely pointless.
The best part of Action Point is the ending. Both because at least it ended in a somewhat satisfying way, and because it was finally over.
