"I Am Number Four" is a science fiction/fantasy teenage movie about human looking aliens from another planet whose people have systematically been killed off. Alien assassins are hunting and killing nine specially powered young people to complete their mission. Number three was killed along with his keeper and now they are after number four. The first two are dead and the story never really goes into detail about that. Number 4 (John) of course wants to be a normal teenager but is reminded to stay off the grid so that he is not found. Well...how easy is that in terms of the Internet and smart phones? This movie have some references to different movies such as Superman, Twilight and Transformers. The teenagers, the girlfriend, the geek sci-fi friend who wants to believe and who has a father that could hold the key to the whole situation. The way the movie ended means there will be a sequel. I Am Number Four is not a bad movie. It's entertaining and if you are looking for a light distraction with no real strain on the brain, then sit and enjoy the show.
Ah! Thanks for the review! I wondered what the movie was about, which is why I didn't really go out and see it.
