Movie Review: I Am Number Four
(2011 Dreamworks)
Review
Acting: I am number 4 was casted perfectly from the extras to the supporting
and principle cast. Alex Pettyfer was superb, even when the script was lacking. He took some of the scripts campy scenes and made them feel like it was from him. The "bad guys" is this film were creepy, and tauting. They made my skin crawl. Alex and all the cast worked with a somewhat difficult script and made you believe in Aliens. A
Cinematography: This movie doesn't fall short at all when it comes from the cinematography. The landscapes are beautiful, the camera shots are perfect, and your there. The special effects aren't campy but exciting and I continued to be moved by the way the camera positioned itself. Without losing you you can feel like you are flying, or dodging a blow from an enemy. A+
Entertainment: The one thing I really liked about "4" is the fact that its not afraid to play the staple of a teen movie. The good news it that they make it better. From the nerd, to the "damsel in distress," this teen action movie is great in almost every way. This movie plays like a superhero genre with a pinch of "Twilight," but better. I found myself engulfed in the story, and the characters. I didn't want the movie to end. A+
Script: Is this movie better then the teen sensation saga "Twilight?" YES. Is it still a teen story with corny lines that we are supposed to brush off? YES. As much as I wanted to love the creative script, I didn't. The romantic scenes had horrible corny lines, and when your looking for relief from the romance, we can thankfully see the actors pulling off one of the best romantic chemistry from any teen movie I have ever seen. Nonetheless, if i had the choice to have a Twilight Poster up on my wall, or a "Number 4" poster, hands down Number Four. The script is ten times better then twilight, the acting, entertainment, and overall movie is amazing and worth seeing. B
OVERALL GRADE: A-
