Review-I Am Number Four

I Am Number Four is a drama/sci fi movie that works better as a two hour pilot for a television show than a movie. It centered around John (played by Alex Pettyfur), a seemingly normal teenager whose hiding a secret: (spoiler alert) he's an alien. He's in a line of aliens on Earth that are hiding from a monster alien race bend on destroying their kind. When the first three are killed, they come after him(hence the title of the movie). He's being protected from these killers by Henri (played by Timothy Olyphant), an alien bodyguard. It is hard to protect John after he meets Sarah (played by Glee's Dianna Argon) in his high school. You can now skip the first hour of the movie because it's so slow. All the stuff in the preview is in the second half on the movie, which should have been the whole movie. The romance element is interesting but not enough to push it through the first and second acts. The action scenes without major special effects looked awkward and the ones with were pretty good. These were based on a series of books so keep that in mind when you watch it. As a complete movie, it was OK. I would watch it again for the last part of the movie including Number Six(played by Teresa Palmer).
