Young Nick: Dad, what's happening?
Nick's Father: I need you to listen to me, like we're the last two people on the planet, okay Nick? Someday, a girl is going to give you a flower. You got that? A flower. And you have to help her, Nick. You help her, and you help us all. Okay? I know it doesn't make any sense right now, but I believe the woman who told me that. Do you think you can believe me?
[Nick nods]
Nick's Father: I love you. Know how I've said that you were special Nick? Turns out that I was right.

When I first saw the preview, I waited months for the movie to come out where I live. As soon as I found it, I bought it, and then went home and read reviews. They were disappointing. Said the movie was bad, had lots of plot holes, the ending was terrible, etc. I doubtlessly watched the movie the next day and found myself glued to the screen.

The acting is pretty amazing from the very start. The visual effects, and the way the movie was filmed are a masterpiece. The powers are attractive and I found myself wishing to be some kind of a telekinetic later.

It's obviously not Slumdog Millionaire, The Godfather or any enlightened movie that has the best plot ever. Just watch and don't expect the best movie in your life.

It was really entertaining! I recommend it!
