This movie has Sc-Fi material with real life situations. It gives you characters that you like and reasons to their issues

PROS: This is the sort of movie that never leaves you. The director really made the characters bonds feel real. This was could be done by having the movie be a tactical found footage film as well as have actors who could seamlessly pull of the right balance of brotherhood, fear, and intensity to an already emotionally loaded film. There was this kind of give take to everything that is actually quite hard to explain. As the mental sanity of the main character deteriorated the other characters were acting dynamically in parallel to him. You really attached to the person on screen, like really attached. You began to fell happy when they were happy, scared when they were scared, and sad when they were sad. This led to an intense climax. You could tell that the director took into consideration all the character relationships, and experiences, when building the finale of the film. To add on, when the climax was over and you were left with the falling acting the film found yet another way to pull at your heart that extra bit more. Overall the film is intense, sad, relatable, funny, interesting, and just a pinch of perfect.CONS: ...www.chorror.com

Every now and then, a movie comes along with unknown actors and a low budget, but then turns out to be far better than you'd ever believe. This is such a movie. The acting is first rate, the plot intriguing, and the characters develop well as the plot unfolds. There are even some mind-blowing special effects that are quite well done.It's about three teenagers who discover they have developed superpowers. The three have distinct personalities, and handle their new abilities in different ways. The story moves from teenage awkwardness to wonder, then spirals tragically out of control, with some spectacular CGI along the way.The acting by the three leads is very natural and convincing. Andrew's father on the other hand was truly monstrous; so bad some may find it strains credulity. Unfortunately though, there are real people like that out there; if you find the father's character unbelievable just thank your lucky stars.I'll give this movie 9/10 because it exceeded expectations so spectacularly. So...why is this movie not more well known?

I confess that I am a pretty big fan of found footage films, and if the screenplay is really good, the movie can be absolutely epic! I really wanted to love this movie because it had so much potential, but it didn't quite get there for me. The idea of a large underground, glowing, foreign object that has the ability to give people telekinesis while being within a certain vicinity of it is an interesting and intriguing concept, but the story-line was very 2 dimensional. It was heavily based on the lives and actions of 3 protagonist teenagers whom possessed telekinetic abilities after contact, and the film never veered back to this object underground. We learned absolutely nothing about this object whatsoever. We don't know if anybody else discovered this object or if it ended up in government possession; we just don't know. Toward the end of the movie it felt like just another revenge/betrayal film as one of the teenagers turned on everybody and ended up feeling all too cliché for my liking. The special effects weren't horrendous, but they weren't amazing. In saying that though, you can't expect pure greatness with only a 12 million dollar budget. I do praise the film for its ability to accumulate 126.6 million USD in the box office off of only 10 million USD. I think a reboot of this movie with an altered story-line and a higher budget could be phenomenal. Bring in depth and sense of intrigue with better characters, an extremely enjoyable cast and limited cliché moments and you have yourself a stupendous film. I personally feel that IMDb's rating of 7.1/10 is a little overrated for what, I feel, the film is as a whole, but I have a bad habit of looking too far into a movie; I always wait for and want the moments that truly blow me away so I'm okay with being picky. All in all, it is an OKAY movie that you should watch once just for the sake of it. Everybody's preference in movies varies, but it's good to hire for a one time watch (to me).Mediocre. Not for me. 5/10
