Another day, another young adult sci-fi movie, this one particularly disappointing and generic in tone. A fresh-faced but incredibly bland young performer essays the title role, the usual high school jock kid who turns out to have incredible superhuman powers. He then goes on a quest to battle a madman bent on domination. If this feels like a sub IRON MAN type movie, easygoing in the extreme, then you'd be right. The acting is below par, with even old hands like Maria Bello and Andy Garcia on autopilot; the lead ends up saddled with a talking drone with a voice almost as annoying as Jar-Jar Binks. As for the generic action and cartoon CGI effects, give me a break...
