Push seen August 22nd 09 rented on redbox

Comments: The storyline was your classic sci-fi/comic book i.e. people with extraordinary abilities being persecuted by some organization or another. I will give the movie this though: It had a witty plot that the title complemented. At first I was like why is this the title of the movie? At the end I realized what the “Push” was. That wasn’t enough to win me over though. Even knowing Nick and Cassie’s background stories you still didn’t know much about who they were as a person (either that or the actors didn’t do a good job of portraying them). I think in this genre you really have to have strong character development in order for it to stand out. Half-way through the movie a whole slew of characters were introduced that were vital that you knew nothing about except their ability that was told to you. I’ll give it a B- for originality. At least it wasn’t based off a preexisting piece of work; comic, novel, or otherwise. However it was lacking something I couldn’t put my finger on.
