What would you do if you were an alien brought to Earth, fleeing from your home currently invaded by some kinds of monsters wiping out your entire race? I would discover my hidden super powers jump of high mountains and steal a girl’s heart in order to save my race. Or something along those lines…
That is basically the story of the movie I am Number 4. I remember watching the first trailer of it back when I saw: “Hereafter” and I thought that the movie actually looked pretty good, but I was worried it was trying to be way too much like Twilight. However, I was glad that they didn’t focused more on that part.
The movie tells the story of the birth of 9 aliens that are going to be the saviors of an alien race after their home planet is attacked by the infamous Mogadorians. The problem lies that the Mogadorians weren’t just gonna give up that easily. The mogadorians follow and start searching for the 9 special children and kill them off one by one. The manage to capture and kill the first 3 and now they are looking for Number 4.
Very…very original title, huh? Regardless of it, the movie was actually quite decent, even though it received a 30% of approval on RottenTomatoes. The movie had amazing special effects and a good story line to support it. However, the movie also had scenes that were completely unnecessary and had too many “cliché” moments regarding the love of the main two characters (Alex Pettyfier and Dianna Agron). The first hour seemed slow, but it could be understood since this would be the first movie of what it looks like to be a series (although, with that title…I’m not so sure you can put a sequel to it). Also, during this hour there were a couple of scenes that the movie could have lived without. Once that hour passed the rest of the movie was quite interesting and kept you on your seat. With awesome fighting choreography and special effects they made the whole movie worth while.
Here’s a clip from one of my favorite scenes of the movie:
Have you seen the movie? What do you think? What do you think could be the title for the sequel?
