I saw True Grit and I am number four back to back. Enjoyed both of them a lot. I am#4 is a fun movie, very formulaic but somehow feeling new. Alex Pettyfer has a lot of screen prescence and the camera loves his face. . The kid that played the science nerd was great too. I actually like the slower pace in the beginning. It was like starman and ET, it was kind of peaceful then the " michael bay" action on the second half was incredible I would like to see it in Imax. This is better than twilight, IMHO.
I liked this movie than Harry Potter DH !. I loved Harry Potter too but I found it a bit boring and more concentrated in action scenes and depressing dialogue. I did not cry when dobbie died. But. VDT just drew me in, it seemed to have more magic. I cried in the end. The movie spoke to your heart. . Cinematography and special effects was great. I watched it in 2D.
I watch a lot of science fiction films. Some scenes of this movie had a certain feel to it that reminded me of previous films, like mad max (Marcus driving the truck), the scene where Connor, Kyle and Star were in the terminator making assymbly line reminded me of the scene form Aleins when Ripley found hersellf in the alien egg hive. The scene where Marcus looks down at his cyborg freak body was terrifying . I really like Sam Worthington, he pulled me into the movie the same way I got pulled in by Micahel Biehn in T1. The visuals, colors , sound was awsome. The robots were just like the transformers but they were dark , grey, cold.
