All I can say about other critic's for this movie so far, don't quit your day job. They obviously see the world as all black and white. Which is likely why they can never seem to grasp their head's around the concept's of movies such as this.
I could barely recognize Katie Cassidy in this movie. Not just because of her makeover for her character she played, but generally did a really good job playing it. Normally I get annoyed by her acting but she did a fine job here. The rest of the supporting cast did well also. It's probably a good thing they didn't have Sasha Grey in more than 1 scene. I admire that she's trying to become an actress coming from being a porn star, but she's definitely not the strongest actress out there.
The movie starts off slow, but is just intriguing enough to maintain your curiosity and easy you into the crazy/intensity that comes later on. Not sure why it' only classifies this as a thriller. It should easily considered Sci-fi as well. Especially when it steps into the topic of unlocking people's full potential, resulting in levitation, telekinesis, etc... The last 20 minutes or so definitely have my full and undivided attention.
I don't want to give too much away so if you have an open mind and are a fan of anything Sci-Fi or graphic novel based, I suggest you give it a try and it might just surprise you. If you you only see things in black and white and can never wrap your head around certain movies because they are just simple, real-life drama stories, then why bother. If you can't like, understand or be open-minded for any movie you watch. Then your review really is irrelevant. If I take anyone's advise for a movie I might be interested in, I'd rather listen to the person that understood what was going on.
