Granted, I didn’t know what to expect. Yes, there’s a few worn-out ideas, like Nazi experiments (granted that’s not where they get their powers, but still), but on the whole it had fun characters ( Dakota Fannings was a kid I want to meet and befriend), twists and uses of powers you haven’t seen in movies before. It was an energetic and electric movie-go watch it and see if you agree. This will be a buy when it is on DVD.

This was the way Heroes should be-the precog isn’t all powerful, hell no one is, no one is amazingly stupid and in general they behaved like regular people.

I was pleasantly surprised, too. Not a fantastic movie, but an entertaining use of my time.
