Push review

Trailer


So a lot of people call this a heroes knockoff that really pisses me off, mainly because heroes is a knockoff of a million different comics and animes, but this movie is a knockoff of other things it gave me the feeling of Jumper but mainly a complete rip off of Akira and galerians.

Galerians was a PS1 game where you played these kids with psychic powers that were made by scientist and one tries to escape to save his sister, you blow peoples heads up set people on fire great game.
Galerians


Anyway "Push" stars Chris Evans (the human torch in the FF4 movies) as a guy living in Hong Kong who has telekinetic powers, there are others that have this ability whether it be moving objects with your mind, implanting thoughts into people's heads, seeing the future or in some cases, seeing the past.He meets up with Cassie (Dakota Fanning) who has the ability to draw the future in a sketchbook. Nick and Cassie team up to try to stop a shady government organization, known as The Division, from getting a secret formula that they are going to use to make super psychic soldiers for for the government . The movie also stars Camilla Belle as a mutant who can control people's thoughts and Djimon Hounsou as a determined Division agent who will stop at nothing to make sure he gets his secret formula.

This movie had some awesome things going for it, cool powers, and a thin plot that could lead to awesome action sequences, but instead it tries very hard to be more then what it actually is, as a result there's tons of characters and the story gets incredibly convoluted which in that way it is a lot like heroes. for example certain power have nicknames like movers, watchers, stitchers, there's people that can block powers, others that erase memories, and 2 guys that scream really loud.

overall this movie needed a huge script re-write and it would of been entertaining, instead you get an over glorified sci fi action flick, that causes you to scratch your head and facepalm at certain action sequences IE: floating gun scene.

Rent it and watch it with friends it will be funnier that way - 7/10
