Decider

Wants to be a scrappy underdog of the superhero genre, but it lacks the imagination to pull it off.

Movie Nation

Entirely too cut-and-dried to add anything new to the "mutant" genre or the conversation.

Rated: 2/4

If you're coming at this expecting MCU, you'll be disappointed. But if you approach this wondering what would happen in the real world if people started being born with extraordinary abilities and how would the government respond to that - this is that pic. It keeps a narrow focus on a few people who've been impacted so you get a little more character development than your typical super hero flick, and more of the emotional toll - but the inferences of greater implications on society (for good or for ill) are all there. A small movie but one with a soul that is, by turns, sweet, gritty, sad, uplifting and edgy. I'd totally watch a sequel (and I need to know Marek's outcome!!!) The lead actress was great in finding the right balance of emotion in all the chaos. Definitely worth watching.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I can't believe I made it about 3/4 through before I realized my time had been wasted on a horribly directed, written, and acted story.

Siempre sabes qué va a suceder a continuación. Nada espectacular, ni el guión ni los efectos, ni las actuaciones. Pobre en todos los sentidos.

OK, this is a pretty bad super power movie with bad acting that transcends the bad dubbing. But it has a few comic moments and the very adorable Cornelia Gröschel so there's that. It ending suggests that this was to be volume 1 of a franchise. That isn't going to happen. I can't resist watching any movie with a 0% rating because, well… how bad can it be? And this one is undoubtedly bad, but it's not unwatchable, not any worse than some 50-60% movies I've seen. It's a mystery and it's nice to see that viewers agree with me at a 27% Fresh rating; not good, but not a totally unwatchable piece of crap.

Another foreign language overdub I watched merely because Netflix kept serving it up as something I "should" watch. Mildly entertaining. The overdub wasn't all that great and a bit distracting.

I appreciate that this is a German Film but if Germany wants to enter the entertainment area they must do *a lot* better. This movie was approximately almost two hours long, frankly I turned it off before the ending because of so much human emotion it was overflowing.
