Trailer

Extended Alternative Trailer

I'm not sure what to make of this. The trailer actually looks half decent but all the implied elements (high school, superpowers, fish men, backflips on jet-skis) suggest suck.

Dianna Agron is very easy on the eyes though of course.

I'm interested in this only because it has Timothy Olyphant in it. Probably going to go see it this coming week.

It keeps screaming in my head, how do they know what number they are, and even if they know, why must they go in sequence when killing them! AAAHHHHHH!!! Brain shut off for this film.

Oh so its a story about someone trying to be an ordinary teenager despite having a deep dark secret that he cant tell anyone and its oh so dramatic...

Haven't we seen this somewhere before?

Why the fuck any immortal/vampire/demon/alien/gameshowhost would want to appear to be an 'ordinary teenager' is beyond me. I remember what its like to be a teenager and it fucking sucks. Hell 5 minutes in the presence of 'ordinary teenagers' would result in the whole school getting glassed for anyone over the age of 20 with superpowers. Oh but I guess thats the dramatic tension. And why the fuck hide in a school when its worked so well for Numbers 1-3...

Yeah, I'll probably go see it.  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

Here is all you need to know about this movie:

Quote
A product of James (A MILLION LITTLE PIECES) Frey’s controversial and exploitive fiction factory Full Fathom Five, I AM NUMBER FOUR takes everything you hate about the Hollywood movie-by-committee system and applies it directly to its source material as well. Everything about it is hollow, artificial and uninspired. And in order to wrap your mind around what exactly went wrong here, you have to know how it was created. After his famous public meltdown in the face of his releasing a fictional memoir - that was both pimped and summarily executed by Oprah Winfrey – Frey set out to use the connections and inroads he’d gained over the years to create a company dedicated towards creating Twilight-flavored Young Adult novels, designed specifically for sale to Hollywood studios. The idea was not to create indelible classics or feature the work of young talented writers – it was to create prepackaged properties designed to be released as a book first and a movie second, with the movie following on its heels by only a few months.

Basically, according to this review/article, Frey pays these people a $250 advance to write novels that are explicitly and cynically designed to be the next Twilight.

All while I was watching that trailer, your avatar was mocking every scrap of dialog. It was brilliant.

The twist is they only think they're aliens.

Be seeing you.

What the hell is that avatar from, anyway?

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Went and saw this tonight, not really knowing anything except there was supposed to be superpowers and lots of special effects.

Started ok, got very slow, boring and angsty. Turned in to a crappy version of Smallville, got decent in the last 15 minutes, then sort of just ended. My whole group where pretty pissed. We even saw it on IMAX, as we thought it would be a special effect movie. Most of the effects was the main guy having flashlights for hands.

Skip this and catch it on HBO or something. Not worth the money.

Score:  ACK! ACK! ACK! swamp poop

Indeed.  For a Michael Bay movie, there were surprisingly few Baysplosions.
