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.

    I did the same, and for being 1$ i thought it was really good! Most redbox movies aren't that great

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

    More of the same from our good friend Michael Bay, IMO.

    Not going to read this until after I see the movie. The rating out of ten is good enough for me right now.

    Some say this movie is a bit like the Twilight saga. Having kept this in mind: nope, I probably won't watch it.

    I wasn't looking forward to it but as you say the visual a pretty cool.

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