So back in Ancient History (60s) there was a sort of strange silly film called 'The Power' made by George Pal. There live amongst us the next step in evolution. Stronger, smarter and with strange psychic powers. And there are secret Government agencies looking into this. The Power must not have done well; a decade goes by and there's this strange big budget fantasy fillm called 'The Fury'. A secret Government agency kidnaps a secret agent's son who has psychic powers and experiments on him. The Fury must not have done well because nobody copycat-ed it either. A decade later David Cronenberg makes 'Scanners'. Low budget, better writing, gorier effects. Cult favorite but soon forgotten. And now TWO decades later 'Push'. So bad I'll have to wait Two More Decades! Sigh. The name, 'Push' doesn't refer to the main characters or their powers, so why call the film, 'Push'? Its a poor story poorly told. Too much telling us what is going on, not enough showing.

I saw this movie on Friday, UNFORTUNATELY! Normally, I'm very fair, and I rarely would leave a comment on anything regarding movie reviews. HOWEVER; I'm hoping to save EVERYONE who would care to listen 10$! I love fantasy and sci-fi, very much so. This, however, was a yawner! Very poorly produced, terrible disinterest- clearly present on the face of the cast, COUNTLESS slow motion "TIME CHEWING" scenes of characters walking down hallways, leading you to believe, "ALRIGHT, FINALLY, SOMETHING IS GOING TO SLAY ME!", .........to no avail. This movie left me falling asleep before it was half over, and I watched 30% of the audience walk out, also before the half way point. I wish I'd joined them, taken the refund and gone to see" He's Just Not That Into You"........much better movie, BY FAR!(I know, I know, can you believe it?) I actually went to see Defiance, and sadly, to my heavy disappointment, I thought, "hey, a sci-fi "Jumper" type film, I'm on it"......OOPS! BORINGGGGGG!

I hadn't really heard about this movie until it caught my eye on Fandango. Extremely well done - lots of action and, suspense. Keeps you guessing all the way to the end. I'm really surprised there isn't more interest in this one.

One day, many years ago, when I was but a wee lad, I got my genitals stuck in the zipper of my pants. Yesterday, I saw Push. I'm still undecided as to which was more painful. Bottom line: this movie epitomizes the putrid stink that seems to be the Hollywood staple recently. The story was stupid, boring, and trite. The inconsistancies in this movie are dumbfounding; one minute the "hero" can't budge a die a few millimeters and the next day he's floating guns to people's heads from across the room. The special effects could have been fantastic, except they're LAAAME (see previous comment about floating guns). Dakota Fanning was the only half-way convincing actor and she was annoying, due to the teen 'tude that was forced on her. The characters have several powers: watchers, sniffers, pushers, movers. I have the power to predict the future, and if you watch this film, you will sniff its inteptness, push yourself out of your seat, and move out of the theatre as quickly as possible.

I just attended the advance press preview of this BUMBLING UNIMPRESSIVE 2hr movie rip-off of HEROES and other established sci-fi novels/comics. Don't get me wrong - I'm totally into sci-fi and fantasy - but, this movie is a tedious exercise that lacks originality - and lacking substance. A regular weekly episode of HEROES is many times better than PUSH. And watching re-runs of the X-MEN is more entertaining. For those that are familiar with the DC and MARVEL comics universes - you've been exposed to such 'gifted' characters. There is nothing new in this movie that hasn't already been done prior. PUSH's plot has more holes than a block of cheddar and stinks worse. The special effects are second-rate and at best - unimpressive. The cardboard-thin characters lacked depth. Oh - and the ending sets up for a PUSH Pt. 2. So, you now know that there is no closure for this movie. VERDICT: GO - if you really must. A DVD rental at best. Yes, it really is that bad. All HYPE.
