Tagline: I Am Number Four

Review: This movie is not the best action film of the year. This movie is not another tongue in cheek teen movie. Most importantly, this movie is not a wannabe of the Twilight franchise. This movie is entertainment for all viewers that delivers a good story, action, and desire to want more at the end. I was lucky enough to work as an extra in this movie for about 2 weeks and was able to see how this film came together, piece by piece. The visual effects truly make the film enjoyable. Seeing it behind the scenes, I could not imagine what it would look like. To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised.

The acting was believable and consistent, unlike previous reviews who claim the actors lost steam halfway thru the film. Timothy Olyphant is perhaps the best character in the film, Pettyfer following right after. The best part about this film is the love story within the plot WAS NOT painful or annoying to watch.

This movie is definitely worth seeing in theaters, as the action scenes truly make the experience. I Am Number Four is a great start to what could be a fantastic franchise.
