Rachel A This is probably the only movie ever that I have seen over 5 times. I have some of the lines memorized and I absolutely loved it the first time I watched it. At first the only reason I bought it was because of my 11 year old self was obsessed with Dakota Fanning's style and Chris Evans but then I just started watching it when I was bored or sick or something. The movie itself is missing some plot holes and some of the special effects weren't that great but I loved it! Dakota's Fanning character was just amazing!!! Her character at times just made me want to hate her and like her. Chris Evans and Dakota Fanning just worked amazing together on the big screen. I had no idea the actress that played Melinda May in Agent's of Shield was in this, once I realized this I had to watch the movie again.
bobbo204 I rented this movie a week ago and was pleasantly surprised to find it was very entertaining. There's a few issues here and there but all the actors did a great job, the action scenes were well done, the psychic abilities were interesting (loved the Asian dude who screams, his face was hilarious!), and the Hong Kong local lent a nice feel to the movie. It was easy to follow and kept my attention the whole time. Dakota Fanning and Chris Evans really did a good job. I thought the director also had some nice shots in there and the special effects, while low budget, were decently done.All in all I'd highly recommend if you're a sci-fi fan. It's too bad the release didn't do too well because I would have loved to see a sequel.
dee Z I just watched this movie and I really don't and can't understand what all the hating is about... this movie is awesome! The cast was great, the cinematography AWESOME, and the directing fabulous. The story premise, though not 100% original, the script of this movie was. Fresh and different and much better written then all the super-hero movies out there now. I really love this movie... is there a Push 2????? It made money... what's the problem (That is why critics really suck because they can give such a bad name to something so good.) I read a view different comments for critics, all giving the film a bad name, explaining how it was not original nor good... how wrong are they. I extremely recommend this movie... much then what is being made now.
axopnk Push is a interesting film. It had a lot of potential but ultimately it fell flat. I think the biggest problem with Push is the storyline became a convoluted mess that the director/writer really couldn't get out of. It felt like the ending was literally written on spot. This is my understanding. Dakota fanning (a watcher who can see the future) meets Chris Evans (a mover who can move things with his mind) to team up to find Camille Belle (A pusher who can push thoughts into peoples minds) who holds the key to bring down the division. The division is a top secret branch who uses people of there ability. The movie doesn't really explain what the division uses these people for. I'm assuming covert operations etc but it's never really explained. One of their experiments enhances their abilities and Camille Belle is the only one to survive.Chris wants to help because his dad told him to follow a girl later who gives him a flower (which ends up being Dakota) and to save her mom. Further, the mom foresaw this years ago. Problem is I don't understand how exactly by saving Camille the division would be brought down. If any of the people wanted to expose the division they could have done so easily (Dakota and Chris for example). In fact, in the end they never exposed the division. One could argue the division was actually after the drug that Camille stole but than why was the division even after Camille? Why did the division even take her later if all they wanted was the drug. It's clear they wanted Camille because she was the only one to survive. But then why care about the drug? As Djmon stated no one survived. So who cares if other people take it?Another gaping question is why would someone not want to enhance they're abilities? If the division is offering why not do it and become better? There had to be a reason why Dakota and Chris are better people to say no before becoming power hungry. Dakota never saves her mom and at the end, killing Djmon doesn't change that. Anyways the division sends sniffers and 20 of they're best watchers after her. Problem with the division is they never felt threatening or all powerful. We never see more than 4 agents and those 20 watchers are never seen. Another thing is the division agents have the same powers as Chris Dakota etc. but the movie never explains why they're after they're own kind or why they work for the division. One thing i don't understand is the shadow and the wiper who are helping Camille. What exactly was they're motivation? The wiper says it's because Dakota's mother foresaw it and I guess for money. Pretty weak in my opinion. The shadow who hid the briefcase for Camille had no explanation as to why she was helping nor was she seen again. Very odd. The Chinese were OK. They wanted the drug to enhance there abilities. But if the Chinese girl is such a great watcher, can't she see there own deaths in taking the drug? Finally we get to Chris's big plan. He hands out letters to each person and told not to read it as it involves a briefcase which holds the drug. Melinda may's character is never seen again after she opens her letter. Indian guy changes the briefcase then leaves. Shadow guy takes Camille to Djmon then never seen again. Overall the 1st plan was to "insult" the Chinese watcher because the only thing it accomplished was the Chinese finding out it was the wrong briefcase. Weird. People may argue his plan was to make sure the Chinese don't know his true intention but that's the problem with this film. This whole plot could easily be edited out but the watchers power is too great and the writer seems that he backed himself into a corner. That's the problem with movies about future etc. It's OK as long as there is limits. Here, there seems to be no limits. It makes story writing a convoluted mess. Even weirder is the Stitcher's motivation. She heals Chris in the beginning of the movie for unknown reasons than back stabs him later for money. Later she is tied up and left. So the Chinese get hold of the fake brief case find out it's fake then go after the correct brief case. That should have been edited out. Pointless. Finally they set up a trap. Division vs Chinese at same place for the briefcase . Chris Evans then fights the division mover (which for some reason he now has better control of his powers) beats him than takes a fake drug to pretend he's dead while Camille goes with Djmon. Later she opens the letter to kill Djmon as she was tricked/pushed into believing that she was part of division she then orders Djmon to kill himself. Done. End of movie. No sense of finality that the division will be brought down, Dakota's mother is still locked up, Chris and Dakota hide with the briefcase laughing, Melinda, Shadow and Indian guy have unknown whereabouts. Stitcher is presumed tied up. Chinese girl has memory wiped and wiper leaves. Problem with Push is the storyline had too many plot holes or weak/non existent motivations for certain characters. Certain characters are unnecessary and dis-believable. The only concept I liked is that each power is dependent on another. Almost like playing a RPG game where the Knight has certain attributes that compliment or cancel the Sorcerer. Otherwise the movie was unfulfilled.
