[Highly rated reviewer]

A science fiction film that won't rock your world by any stretch of the imagination, which is a shame, they could have done a lot more with it, as it has a half decent cast. Basically a group of young Americans with telekinetic and clairvoyant abilities are hiding out in the far east from a clandestine U.S. government agency who stalk them continually for their powers. They eventually band together led by Nick Gant (Chris Evans) and Cassie Holmes (Dakota Fanning) and assisted by Kira Hudson ( Camilla Belle) in order to break free from the sinister Henry Carver (Djimon Hounsou) and the agency forever.

The problem with it is it's chaotic nature , meandering plot that seems to go nowhere , and it just doesn't hold the interest enough. The special powers they all have look weak bordering on the ridiculous, and you just get the feeling that the whole cast just don't really have their hearts in it. Even the pace was sluggish and at almost two hours I found myself getting increasingly distracted as I tried to keep focused on the mediocre plot. The only two positives were the location which was interesting to look at , and the performance of Ms Fanning who continues to improve as she blossoms into womanhood. She is easily the best thing in it. Don't bother with the cinema for this one, it's a DVD watch and then if there isn't anything else that fires your interest. All in all a wasted opportunity. In a word....................Disappointing.

Watch it only if they make a sequel

By a customer , 10 Apr 2013

Good film, action and background premise worked well and the acting was great. The only problem is the ending, isn't. It is so obviously a set up for a sequel rather than ending the story that it spoils the rest of the film. If they make a film or a series, by all means watch it, if not, don't bother

Push? more like drag

By a customer , 13 Nov 2012

What a waste of acting talent.

I found this boring and repetitive and the story just went on and on and round and round.

Don't bother - watching paint dry would be more exciting!

Favourite Film

By a customer , 14 Aug 2012

5 STARS!!!! This is an AMAZING Fim, despite what others may think; I Rented this 5 times before I was actually able to find a DVD to Buy. Needless to say it's my Favourite Film, possibly ever. And I'm not actually that much of a Sad Person...

This Film is Great.. My only Complaint is that they didn't make a Sequel.

Such a disappointment! Dakota Fanning pulled off a good stropy teen, but such a daft film - really not worth your time! It was like a film made by kids in school!

Wet weather viewing

By a customer , 01 Jul 2012

As movies go it isn't bad; but then again it isn't great. The story line is somewhat contrived and the ending makes it feel like it was a trailer for a TV series. However if you want to escape from the mundane this does the trick - well for 90 minutes or so anyway.
