Movie Review: I Am Number Four (2011)


Warning May Contain Slight Spoilers! 

So having received a free Redbox rental I decided to use it on I Am Number Four, the commercials convinced me that it was worth a free rental. 

This movie is adapted from the novel of the same name and revolves around the exploits of a teenage alien for the planet Lorein, like most teenage aliens that are sent to Earth his planet was at war/destroyed before being sent here. 

The plot is solid for a sci-fi flick and follows typical character arches. There is also the whole teenager love plot line with a little hottie, which of course complicates things like all women do. 

Overall the plot was good, the visuals were pretty cool, and by the end you kinda wanted to see a possible sequel. Overall I'd give it around a 7.3-7.8/10.

  3. I agree, I also got The Green Hornet, which wasn't that great but also worth the dollar.

    Teen flick, Maybe I'm a little too old for that kind of movie too.
