Review: Push

Last night Trish and I went to dinner and to see the movie Push with friends of ours. Trish thought it looked the trailer looked promising and I'm always up for going to a scifi film. If you haven't already seen the trailers Push is about people with abilities such as telekinetic, or the ability to push thoughts into people's minds, and the people or group(s) that want to capture them and harness their abilities.

Out of the four of us I'm the only one who liked it. Nobody could really say what they didn't like about it, but Trish did say she thought the dialogue was poor and didn't like the way the sonic people looked when using their ability. Personally I liked the film and it kept me engaged the whole time, but I did feel it was one of those movies that you have to just let carry you along. If you try and sit there understanding whats going on and where it is headed you'll be thoroughly confused and probably miss the point at the end. I've heard people mention it's similarity to last summer's Jumper, which I liked as well, and would agree it's similar in concept, except Jumper was more of just an action flick while this one had a much deeper plot and was much more engaging than Jumper was.

In the end the movie has been left open for a sequel and I'm hoping it pulls in the money for it, because I would love to see a sequel to it.
