I Am Number Four


Its been two years since we've seen Alex Pettyfer and he's used his time away productively leaning to speak American. 

The beginning of the movie sees various people being hunted and killed in various locations around the world, we could presume this to be a mini back story. We then cut to Daniel Jones (Pettyfer) doing the normal teenager stuff, hanging with friends and going swimming in sunny Florida but this doesn't last. He is being hunted by an unknown predator (The Mogadorians) and though he manages a lucky escape he also reveals his more than normal teenager abnormality and has to leave town at the demand of his protector Henri (Timothy Olyphant).

With a new name and a new identity John Smith (Pettyfer) arrives in Paradise Ohio and tries to start anew, and soon befriends a conspiracy theory obsessed Sam, and lays eyes on Sarah Hart (Dianna Agron) who end up being dragged into the adventure that is his life. Luckily their in safe hands with Johns extraterrestrial ability to produce heat and light from his hands...

Cue a battle between a dog whose been hitting the gym a little too intensely and an out of this world monster that i can only really describe as a mix between a werewolf a dinosaur and a lizard. Enter a mysterious character in a whole lot of leather, and we've got ourselves a movie that's a little action-y mostly sci-fi with a dash of romance. Once you get to the end you realise that this film has skilfully managed to tell us nothing an leaves us anticipating a possible sequel.... Well personally, I Am all Four it.
