I am number four

So I watched " I Am Number Four" a couple of days ago but haven't had a chance to post my opinion of it.
I was a great movie. Personally I am a bit of a comic book geek and love the idea of super powers and aliens on earth and stuff like that.

I Am Number Four however, gave all that good stuff as well as a little bit of romance and a bit of comedic moments too. The story of " I Am Number Four" is very intriguing and not entirely predictive.

Basically it's the story of a 15 year old kid who isn't actually human, he's an alien from a planet called Lorien which was destroyed. He along with 8 other alien children were sent to earth to hide from a group of other aliens known as the "Mogadorians" who were responsible for the destruction of his home planet. The concept that made the movie interesting is that though the "Mogadorians" are trying to kill every last remnant of planet Lorien (the 9 aliens on earth) they have to kill them in order from 1 to 9. Which makes the whole plot ALOT more entertaining then a simple " Boom Bang Pow" all the aliens except number four are dead. Aside from the "action super hero" plot in the story, there is a very deep and "Human" part to the entire movie and it's something that ALL of us can relate to and that is : Wanting to fit in, wanting to feel acceptance, believing fully in something we feel is right, realizing we are ever-changing and facing our responsibilities.


Personally I loved this movie, there were moments where I was on the edge of my seat and moments where I was totally pumped up like " Wow that is so awesome" (typical geek moments)
for those of you who like action and sci-fi movies I totally recommend this movie and for those of you who are looking for a " Teen angst" or "teen romance" movie, I recommend this movie as well.
This movie, for me, totally gets 5 Smileys!
