The Gist: Three teenagers find an underground cave hiding a mysterious crystal that confers amazing telekinetic powers on them. The three play with their newfound abilities at first, developing them gradually like any other muscle, but after a while things start to go seriously wrong.
Many Hollywood productions stand to learn a lot from this obviously bite-size budget movie. While the visual effects are impressive for this level of production, it’s the simple and well structured screenplay that ultimately makes it a success.
The eye candy provided by Michael B. Jordan and, above all, Alex Russell doesn’t hurt…
The Bottom Line: A very interesting take on superhero-style powers and what can happen when they are bestowed upon regular folks. Don’t dismiss it as a sci-fi movie though, it’s has nothing to do with the comic book fare plaguing us of late. It’s original and cool at the same time. A good movie overall.
