I Am Number Four (2011)

Did you notice that 2011 = 2 + 1 + 1 which = 4?

So anyways…

Everyone kept sayings to me, ‘Have you seen I am number four, what did you think?’

Normally people go ‘Wow it was awesome, or it sucked or whatever, something’. This one came with reluctance. Like no one wanted to admit how they really felt.

I’m going to go out on a lim and say i liked it. Was it amazingly brilliant plot wise, no, was it completely unpredictable no but it was reasonably enjoyable.

Plotwise – a bunch of aliens from another planet get sent to earth to be protected from some other more badass aliens that took over their planet. They are now all hot teenagers living life on the run. Their parents weren’t creative types, giving them numbers instead of names, hence he’s number four. For some reason the badass aliens aren’t too badass for hunting them down and killing them in numerical order.

The special effects and cg were cool. The acting was solid. It was predictable but enjoyable. Fun holiday viewing.
