I Am Number Four

Synopsis: Nine infant aliens, who closely resemble humans flee from their home planet Lorien, to hide on Earth. An invading species, the Mogadorians who have destroyed their planet follows them to Earth to hunt them down. Each of the nine aliens is given a guardian and they will develop superhuman powers as they grew up. They are each assigned a number and these last children of Lorien can only be killed in the sequence of their numbers. Number Four (Alex Pettyfer), also named John Smith moves to Paradise, Ohio, disguised as an American high school student. He befriended a girl named Sarah (Dianna Agron), a sweet Midwesterner who is a photographer. After being on the run his whole life, Number Four falls in love and now has something to stand up and fight for. [Source: Yahoo! Singapore Movies]

If not for the trailer, you might not even know what this whole movie is about. Above average for their effects and fights, but for story plot, it greatly disappoints us audiences. There are many gaps in the movie unanswered, and we don't even know if there is going to be a next installment. If you want to know more about the story (which I think it will be a great one), please head down to a book store to buy the book. It will be better. Unless, you have nothing else better to do, I would advise to give this movie a skip.
