This movie was shot entirely "documentary" style, and in that I mean that every shot was part of the film, being shown from the point of view of someone's video camera in the movie itself (a la the most famous example, Blair Witch). Makes it feel a little disjointed and slow at times, but also gives you a more unique perspective into the characters themselves. Very "fly on the wall".
The basic premise is that three friends absorb telekinetic powers from a mysterious source (never explained) and the movie proceeds to show the evolution of these powers, and how they decide to use them. Predictable, in the usual unfortunate ways (one of the kids as a shitty home life, so he of course steers towards using his powers in destructive ways) but overall I enjoyed the movie.
I cannot imagine life without movies, but am in no way what one might typically think of as a film student. I admit to watching and often enjoying foreign films, but to be perfectly frank I love nothing more than your down n’ dirty cheesy Hollywood action flick. Generally I watch all sorts of films so have a recommendation for almost anyone; except horror (no point with my eyes shut) or anything depressingly sad (film is for fun, not tears). This is raw “real me to real you” film feedback.
