Well the movie is not bad but there is a lot of plots hole...

""Bit spoiler""
Like the way time on arm work is weird and there is no explanation given what so ever... so when you see people "steal" from other while they sleep and stuff like that it make no sense...

but the movie is okay

Plot holes aren't too bad. I might not have noticed them if you hadn't pointed them out. The bigger problem is the execution and hurrydness of the film. The film had much more potential, though it was good enough. Enjoyable.

An alternative superhero movie filmed from a POV perspective kinda like the blair witch project or paranormal activity. Not as shitty and dull as Paranormal Activity.

Very serious. The movie isn't enjoyable and all hollywood "oh the hero has saved the day and can now get with the damsel in distress." You won't come out of it with a clear emotion. That said, it does develop a particular character very well. Each character's interaction with their gift is slightly different.

Here's the trailer

80 minutes long. My friend complained it was rather short but I didn't notice.

It does grab your attention at some points but never has that level of mysticism and stimulation that a film like Black Swan does.

The special effects are good not great. Budgetary constraints.

Overall the movie is below average but it's hard to tell if that's just because it didn't have a high enough budget. It could have focused on something more. Right now it's a story with no meaning.

I completely agree, I just saw this movie last week. I think that the previews did an extremely good job of foreshadowing what could have been an excellent movie, but for me, the movie failed to deliver.

The movie delved too far into things such as Andrew's "turning" if you will, trying to give him character, but at the same time being extremely pointless due to the following events that occur. The party and school scenes are nearly completely irrelevant to the character development and plot as a whole.

The only positive thing I can take away from this movie is the fact that there is definitely going to be a sequel, and if the origins of the "powers" involved... and/or governmental use of them, with better directing there really could be promise for the future of the film in the sequel.

I'd almost recommend everyone to only watch this after seeing the sequel, Star Wars style, as this alone is not worth the time nor monetary investment.

I highly doubt there'll be a sequel. + Show Spoiler +
