ThiefHott Too much of everything
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
ShadixBear I agree this could have been a great series for television but it got lost in the shuffle of the late 80's. I would love to see them remake it and turn it into a series and have all the questions answered. If they do remake this maybe they could get some of the original cast to reprise their roles. I know that the actor that played Michael has retired from acting but recast the lead role and relaunch it and see if it makes the grade for a series and if it does make the grade then get all the questions answered for everyone and here's a question that needs answering as well, "Where did they come from?". add all of those elements and it could be great
Havan_IronOak This story involves a young man of uncertain parentage whose foster mother and father have died. The young man has mental gifts far beyond normal folks, able to assemble complicated toys as a child, blowing the top off an intelligence test, and even able to heal folks and animals with his gift. Now that his parents are dead and an evil doctor is after him, he's on a road trip to find his real mother.One question. If he's so smart why did he get such bad writers to tell his story? I really wanted to like this movie and the fact that the actor was attractive in a vulnerable, open sort of way would have made that easy. If it weren't for the HORRIBLE writing. Even a fantasy story needs some rationalization.
mack3175 This had all the good elements for a good T.V. show. The story line sounds a little like Smallville and Roswell. So why was it not a series? The story about a young man with special powers. On the run from a government. And tries to find why he is so different. All the questions never got answered.
Mun Slow at first but a great concept, good camera work and fine acting soon create a sense of wonder that grabs you and doesn't let go until the end, where you wake up thinking: where and how soon are they playing the series.
