Glenn O @PaPawGOT Aug 1, 2026 I feel the Idea that the movie was trying to portray. The insight into what could be and human nature is there, but many critics failed to see it and were very short sighted. Creators could have given a little more insight into Powders abilities, thoughts and fleshed out a little more on those surrounding him. Most of this was conveyed in subtle ways. Some of the characters were a little over the top such as the deputy and stereotypical teenagers. Overall, I think this was a truly beautiful movie that missed a few things, but for myself, it makes you think about those around you and how you perceive yourself. We can love without equal but hate in equal measure. Very good movie! Side note - Just to put it out there, I despise most critics. They are self intitled narcissistic ego driven idiots. Who needs them? No one. The audience is the best indicator of a good movie See more Mario F @mariofernav Jul 25, 2026 A classic, it was always a rewatch when I was a teen.

See more Vance B. @Vman0.1 Jun 21, 2026 I enjoyed the movie I think they could have done more with it to make it better See more Travis M @TMorg007 May 19, 2026 An intriguing story that's superhero adjacent. I really enjoyed it as a fictional excursion. It falls a bit short overall but I still recommend it for it's uniqueness. See more Par H @Parhwy Mar 15, 2026 Powder (1995) is a 111-minute-long sci-fi fantasy which I watched on NITV (Australian free-to-air TV) in March 2026. This is the second time I have seen this film. The last time was decades ago. It resonated with me ever since and so when it popped up on free-TV, I made time to watch it. Watching a movie on telly with ads is nostalgic and enjoyable. Back to the movie. It’s good. It’s Phenomenon’s dark cousin. The bogeyman-fear/bogeyman-hate is similar however the bullying persists and is more intense (the main bully looks like Eddie Vedder, a kind person, so it’s disorienting). The entire film occurs in gloom, mist, overcast. Steenburgen, Goldblum, Henriksen play their usual styles albeit these are early iterations of who we know them to be now. Flanery does Powder well. Powder’s exceptionalism and pacificism shines. I wish Sheriff Duncan had had a greater revelation. Rewatch? Maybe. Recommend? Yes. 7/10. See more Read all reviews
