Michael Ledo There are two alien races on this planet. One is trying to kill the other one. The good guys look like blond surfers and the bad guys look like Darth Maul. Three of the good guys are dead. The fourth one (4 of 9) has relocated to Paradise, Ohio and is attempting to keep a low profile, but insists on going to school. Here he meets a pretty blond who is also a photographer. There are the jocks who insist he stay away from her and the class science/UFO geek who is picked on by the Jocks.Our hero, whose name is John Smith is going through alien puberty where he develops more superhuman powers. Through it all he must cope with the "agony" of high school, dating pretty girls, and in his spare time, defeat an alien race out to destroy him. Definitely a teen movie. It has the potential to have a sequel as well as being a TV series. No sex or nudity.

mburzynski-80246 This is a great film. And finally out on netflix. I saw it back in 2011 and it has a nice original storyline. Now in 2018 if the scifi movie isnt marvel its most likely a remake of something from the 1980s. This movie has great special effects and sets up nicely for a sequel. Its been seven years now. not sure if we ever going to see one.

Kirpianuscus and Timothy Olyphant. a film who has the save sin and virtue - it is far to be original. it is a virtue because it is not fair to criticize it for the use of a lot of clichés who are basic ingredients in the films for teenagers. it is its basic sin because the expectation of public must be respected. but "I am number five" is the same mix of ambiguous bad boys, noble mission, love story, the super hero in high school and his dramatic love story. sounds well known, did it? so, all is reduced at the new meet with Pettyfer and Olyphant, few special effects, the secret and the run. is it enough ? maybe, because, after the first impressions, it remains a decent Sci. Fi/ youth literature adaptation .

Tayton Godwin This movie has many interesting things in it. I am number four is a great movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The main character, John (Alex Pettyfer) is training with his guardian, Henri (Timothy Olyphant). John is trying to develop his legacies (powers) to one day unite with the other refugee aliens to get back to their home planet. You will enjoy this movie if you have read the book or like action and horror. It also has lots of action and plot twists, there is also a little bit of romance. This movie also has excellent special effects and the director, D.J. Caruso, did a fantastic job bringing this movie together. Some people say they don't like this movie because they can't follow the plot because it is too confusing, but John describes what is happening in the beginning. So if you stop freaking out about the movie being bad, and just watch the movie. If you do not like this movie, you have no imagination and are overthinking everything. So, go watch this movie filled with interesting things now!
