I Am Number Four centers on a teenage alien named John, who along with his guardian Henri travel across the country to avoid capture by enemies from their home planet. John desperately tries to fit in and have a normal life but his involvement with a girl named Sarah could blow his cover and endanger both their lives.I was not looking forward to seeing it, I thought that it would be awful. How wrong I was!
Speaking as a hormonal teenage girl, Alex Pettyfer is rather attractive and the only unique selling point of the movie to me, originally. The first time I saw the trailer, I was unimpressed at it until I saw Alex Pettyfer. What a dreamboat! In his newest attempt at being a teenage heartthrob after his appearance in the film flop, Storm breaker. To be honest, he certainly has changed and become more attractive as puberty hit.
I am glad that I went to see it, I enjoyed it even though the dialogue wasn't up to scratch. Another main fault of it was its use of product placement of Apple and Iphones, with the Iphone receiving at least an hour of air time. As a film hawk, i was able to pick up various continuity issues in the editing as people jumped from A to C without showing the journey between the two.
I Am Number Four has great action sequences and that’s pretty much it. You have to sit through an hour of bad dialogue and plot holes before you get to the good stuff, but it is well worth it. Is a sequel on the way? I certianly hope so!
My Star Rating:
8/10 *
