I Am Number Four

Another winner by D.J Caruso. I never read the Ya novel it's based on, but from what I read, it adapts the source well.

This is a solid, fresh, action sci-fi flick combining a lot of elements from alien genre we've seen. The story with Loriens and Mogadorians is interesting.

The story is pretty straightforward: Aliens called Loriens have different powers, "legacies" and are being hunted down by the Mogadorians. The Mogs killing the Loriens will also enable them to take over the Earth.

The performances for this movie are all solid from Timothy Olyphant (Justified), Jake Abel (Supernatural), Alex Pettyfer, and Diana Agron. Very good performances, the actors do a good job of making the characters very real.

Action is good, drama is good, a lot of comedy too. D.J. Caruso is a good director, so this is another winner in his belt of very entertaining flicks. It's aimed, yes at a young audience, but I think anybody who enjoys fun sci-fi flicks will want to watch this one regardless of their age.
