This is a grossly underrated film as many are in this genre. They are downplayed by smart asses that I doubt even watched the film or if they did, these 'reviewers' have no imagination, depth or creativity LOL. I am sure it is the same 'reviewers' who panned another lovely action and adventure film set in an alternate Universe, The Mortal Instruments. I loved every character in this film and the connection between them though understated, was real and emotional at the right level for the genre. Each young actor was charismatic with our young Australians Teresa Palmer and Callan McAuliffe doing us proud.Just like good Hallmark Romances that though the themes repeat, each has its own individuality and spark, this film offers a lot to those seeking to forget their own reality for a while and fly away into a world where good always seeks to overcome evil and succeeds despite the odds. We all regularly need that kind of uplift.

I love Scy-fi movies and I didn't think that the movie was bad. I thought it was really good for a Scy-fy movie. I enjoyed it. I really recommend this movie to all Scy-fy lovers. This movie kept me on my feet and told a good story. I honestly hope that there will be another movie like this one or a squeal or something, though, I am sure that it may not happen. But it is good to hope and wish, right?

and Timothy Olyphant. a film who has the save sin and virtue - it is far to be original. it is a virtue because it is not fair to criticize it for the use of a lot of clichés who are basic ingredients in the films for teenagers. it is its basic sin because the expectation of public must be respected. but "I am number five" is the same mix of ambiguous bad boys, noble mission, love story, the super hero in high school and his dramatic love story. sounds well known, did it? so, all is reduced at the new meet with Pettyfer and Olyphant, few special effects, the secret and the run. is it enough ? maybe, because, after the first impressions, it remains a decent Sci. Fi/ youth literature adaptation .

This movie has many interesting things in it. I am number four is a great movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The main character, John (Alex Pettyfer) is training with his guardian, Henri (Timothy Olyphant). John is trying to develop his legacies (powers) to one day unite with the other refugee aliens to get back to their home planet. You will enjoy this movie if you have read the book or like action and horror. It also has lots of action and plot twists, there is also a little bit of romance. This movie also has excellent special effects and the director, D.J. Caruso, did a fantastic job bringing this movie together. Some people say they don't like this movie because they can't follow the plot because it is too confusing, but John describes what is happening in the beginning. So if you stop freaking out about the movie being bad, and just watch the movie. If you do not like this movie, you have no imagination and are overthinking everything. So, go watch this movie filled with interesting things now!
