Three are already dead, and now it’s his turn to die. The bestselling book has made it to the big screen in this movie adaption which sees John (Alex Pettyfer) battling to stay alive.
The movie centres around John and Henri (Timothy Olyphant) who is John’s guardian. John isn’t an ordinary teenager but a being from another planet. Nine of them, as infants, were sent to Earth with their guardians when the Mogdorians set about destroying Lorien, their planet. Each assigned a number, the children can only be killed in sequence but the Mogdorians are determined to exterminate every single part of Lorien and have already killed the first three and are now hunting John. John though is tired of running. All he wants is to fit in to society and be with Sarah (Dianna Agron), a sweet normal girl who he’s fallen in love with. Fortunately John isn’t completely helpless for as the Lorien children grow and reach adulthood, they start to develop supernatural powers.
Twilight meet X-men. This teenage genre is fun and entertaining but not for everybody just like the book was. It has plenty of action, a romantic element and is played by good-looking people, yet despite all these sure fire ingredients to make a blockbuster, there is a lack of substance that fails to take it to that elite level Twilight dwells in. Nonetheless, still a good watch.
