Really! I was gonna say great minds think alike but...they dont have great minds :mrgreen:

You know, I just had a thought, naming the film feels like I am ruining the story line for those who havent seen it...I just made it a spoiler tag...think you can do the same or am I being too careful?..or silly? :blink:

Forgot to mention that I saw this before work on Saturday.

My god I was impressed! For such a small budget film, the camera work and effects were extremely well done.
Roll on the sequel :rolleyes:

Saw this tonight as RBS screning of TBEMH was overbooked.
I must say that I was very disappointed. It had great potential and great SFX but it didn't really go anywhere and had a totaly stupid climax. It seemed to end prematurely and after a very short time. Let's say that I was enjoying it and had it not been for the presence of the end credits I would have thought the projector had broken. So glad I didn't p*y good money for this - would have felt short-changed.

A measly 6/10. Boo.

Also the trailer is a very accurate precis of the actual film. Not an awful lot is added in the actual movie. Save your money - just watch the trailer a half-dozen times. LOL.

rather uneven, 'Heroes' for high schoolers, but definitely a fun stratospheric blast of budget superpowers.

Theres no excuse for dumbing down the movie, however! So much dumbness you wouldnt believe. No way you can do that at the school talent show and people believe its a trick. And the superest guy got bad way too quick - film needed to be longer really. If you compress the tv show Heroes into 88 minutes, then you lose a lot of the goodness of the show.

Rated : Vitamin B+
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?
