Synopsis: Three high-school friends film themselves as they learn to use super-powers they have recently acquired.
Review: There are so many super-hero movies thoser days, it was an intereting idea to present this one from the point of view of the heroes themselves, as they discover their powers. Its structure reminds me a lot of Cloverfield, as when it starts you quite don't know what will happen later. The targetted audiance is obviously high-school students as it corresponds to the age of main characters, and teenagers can identify with what the heroes do with their powers at first (impress girls, scare kids...), they probably would have done the same. Actually the story is well told but quite predictable, and doesn't go further than the day-to-day preoccupations of those kid, which makes that it will not remain in memories as a great film.
Rating: 6 /10
