If you have had a constant diet in the Twilight film, superhero movie and sci-fi television shows, you break maybe I am number four. But probably not. Film, based on the young-adult novel of the same name, derived almost entirely from other related materials, leaving the individuality a permanent absent unit. The most worrying problem is that Twilight is not high-school romances better, comic film handle operation with more finesse and television shows contain fewer cardboard characters. If this is number four, I'm just thankful we dedicate to wallow through one, two and three.
After their homeworld of Lothlórien is besieged by Mogadorians, a ruthless race of alien attackers, only nine talented young people flee to Earth and await their fate. John (Alex Pettyfer) is one such survivor, who along with his guardian Henri (Timothy Olyphant), constant must stay on the run to avoid being detected by Mogadorians. After learning of the murder of another Lothlórien, John and Henri head to Paradise, Ohio where they hope to lay low and discover a way to make contact with their remaining allies. When John falls in love with Sarah (Dianna Agron), a beautiful photographer on his high school, he decides to stay and fight rather than to continue running-a decision that will put him against a relentless team of brutal foreign executioners.
Sometimes (although rarely) mediocre dialogue can be forgiven in the presence of large effort. Unfortunately, I am number four neither. Direction of the conversation, if not the actual Exchange, can probably be guessed before anyone has spoken and revelations often rival those found in an episode of Scooby-Doo. Dialogue operating for extremely awkward area by a number of occasions and can't even grip the realism when the talks, which are presumed to be maladroit. Friendships, paternal guidance, antagonistic threats and confessions of love never felt so lame.
Even rarer still, humdrum dialogue can perhaps be rejected when from intriguing characters and inspiring demeanors. Still nothing here. In John's defense presumed he tries to blend and become invisible. He succeeds, but it is not public disservice. Sarah lends an arguably beautiful face, but certainly no more, and Timothy Olyphant Henri trying ever so hard but could not overcome the tedium of the script. The villains are perhaps the most cringe-worthy, "spitting broken English over harsh alien speech and commit the cardinal sin of speaking too much before killing their victims.
A few interesting shots in battle makes an appearance, although their ingenuity quickly world history beneath the sloppy special effects and behemoth predators, there seems to be the lovechild of a flying squirrel and Cloverfield monster. If unexplained powerful teens, giant sugar glider-creatures and hokey bright flashlight hands is your cup of tea, this is one for you.
