Ascendant

The movie experience reflected its low budget. David Stratton was generous in his review giving it 2/5 stars! Couldn't sit through this again even if was free.

Dad and daughter kidnapped, Dad tortured to give up girl's secret.

Torture... Girl has flashback... Torture... Flashback... Torture... Flashback... Girl suddenly remembers she has (ridiculous superpower) Uses power to escapes.

The end.

Now you don't have to watch this slow movie. The reveal is telegraphed and anticlimactic. And I hesitate to even mention, but a movie where they put an almost 30 yr old modelesque woman in kids overalls and sneakers and pretend she's a teenager, feels like the casting director is a creep.

Honestly... I've been waiting to see this movie forever because I have been wanting to see something new with Charlotte Best. But 1, I couldn't stay focused through this movie to get an actual account for the plot, which left me totally confused as to what I just watch by the end. Ok, she's "something special." But WTF IS SHE?!? A future Avenger? Soon-to-be member of the Legion of Doom?!

Solid performance from lead actor and supporting actor, remaining small cast of Russian (of course) thugs passable. Plot bizarre, turgid and barely understandable, pace slow, action barely evident.

Premise that the environment is our saviour laudable but cliched.

Not worth watching, as boring as Divergent.

I was the only one in the cinema and I'm not surprised. I started tapping out tunes on the arms of my chair to entertain myself.

So this is a easy movie to review all you have to say is #$@#$ was it about? Flashback, super powers, murders, kidnap, it's like the writer said hey lets take a bit of everything from everywhere and shove it in a blender. I would mention the plot, but I have no idea what it was. I guess the acting is okay but again how do you really know when there is just mountain sized plot holes in the script. So do a favour and follow the advice of the movie, ascend to something else.
