Rating: PG-13
Movie Release Date: February 6, 2009
DVD Release Date: July 7, 2009
Plot 411: In a world where people have special powers, a government agency tries to exploit them into becoming the ultimate soldiers.
Review: This is a not-so-new take on the "mutant" world ala X-Men. However, they've now labeled each gift with new names that you've got to learn. It's really unnecessary and a bit confusing. The plot twists and turns and because you're trying to figure out the names (sniffers, shadows, pushers, movers, etc.), the plot becomes a bit convoluted. The movie stars Chris Evans as Nick, a mover or someone with telekinetisis, Dakota Fanning, a watcher or someone who can see the future and Djimon Hounsou and Camilla Belle, pushers who can make you do anything. In the end, it's just another sci-fi/action flick with people with powers. I guess the success of X-Men and Heroes is the reason for it. However, this movie doesn't live up to any of its predecessors.
Watch It: If you're a sci-fi fan for the different gifts each person.
Skip It: If you're a true sci-fi fan because it just takes the best of sci-fi and ruins it.
