Three are dead. Who is Number four? From Director D.J. Caruso (Disturbia), producer Michael Bay (Transformers) and the Emmy-winning writers of TV's Smallville, comes this gripping, action-packed thriller. John Smith (Alex Pettyfer) is an extraordinary teen masking his true identity to elude a deadly enemy sent to destroy him. Living with his guardian (Timothy Olyphant) in the small town he now calls home, John encounters unexpected life-changing events - his first love (Dianna Agron, TV's Glee), powerful new abilities and a secret connection to the others who share his incredible destiny. Complete with deleted scenes and more, I Am Number Four is an explosive suspense-filled ride that will take you to the edge of your seat and beyond.

I enjoy watching science fiction movies but find many of them today so caught up with the CGI that the story line is completely lost in translation, as if the story no longer matters today. I found this movie both entertaining and fun. It had good character buildup and did all of this with the fun of science fiction. A true gem amoung todays films. It was also nice not to have anything I found to be offensive in the movie.
I hope they continue this and build upon the movie with sequals but since I didn't know of this being a major blockbuster I am assuming this is not going to be the case.

Great mindless entertainment when you just want to unwind in front of the tv

I hesitated renting it online when I saw that the initial review were horrible, but I rolled the dice and am glad I watched it. It's not an Oscar-winning performance, and certainly not going to inspire deep, intellectual conversation afterwards....but if you're looking for something entertaining to watch just for fun-- then you'll love this movie.
Great action sequences towards the end, semi-intriguing story, you can answer your text messages and microwave some popcorn without losing track of what's going on on-screen. Unless you're in a film-snobbish mood, this is well worth getting.

I've seen some reviewers (negatively) compare this movie to Twilight. I would only guess that the majority of these reviewers haven't actually seen Twilight - because, aside from young people and romance (which describes quite a few movies out there...), they have nothing in common. This movie is interesting, exciting, and light on emo; the story is one of survival, rather than a lengthy romance seasoned occasionally with just a pinch of adventure. This is an adventure complicated by romance, rather than a romance complicated by adventure. All of which isn't to knock Twilight - it achieves what it tries to do successfully - but to point out that this is not Twilight. At all. So, enough about what it isn't. Now onto what it is.

I am Number Four is the story of a young alien who has yet to come into his powers; he is one of 9 gifted alien youngsters who were destined to protect their (now destroyed) planet. After Number 3 is killed by the marauding invading aliens who destroyed Number 4's planet, Number 4 and his protector flee to Paradise, Ohio. Number 4 (now "John Smith") gets involved in some teen drama (football players who pick on the science nerd, Sam [who claims that his father was abducted by aliens]) and falls for the football player's ex, Sarah. While highschool trouble brews, the evil aliens are getting closer and closer to discovering them; when "John's" protector goes missing, he and Sam set out to find him. Things go south from there, ending with a spectacular showdown that includes a fight between dragon-like monsters and a dog/dinosaur-like "pet".
(end spoilers)
I won't say that any of this is original (it's not; it's mostly all been done somewhere). But it is good, and it's done well. The acting is good, the interactions are more or less believable (even with the well-used bully-football-players theme), and it's quite interesting. Would see again. A friend of mine put it like this: "This was a movie about aliens *and* teens - by all rights, it should have stunk." Maybe so, but lucky for us, it didn't. 5/5 stars

I Need a sequel
I love sci-fi almost as much as I love action films and this gives me both. It also adds enough love interest and comedy to keep the rest of my family happy. Read more

I give this film a 4
As much as I liked this film, being that I am Autochthonous, it baffles me how Hollywood after all these years still seems to overlook us for these roles.

A little bit sci-fi a little bit romance
I enjoyed this movie. I might even read the books if I can find them on sale. This is not the next great alien movie. Nor is it real memorable, but it is fun. Read more

This is for children
Childish at times when it could have been a good series. A sequel with a more adult theme showing the other six could be interesting.

Too big of a cliffhanger
The film itself had an interesting premise but was shot more like a TV series/mini-series. You were left craving far more than a film should leave its audience. Read more

Video quality is terrible.
Bad quality, hard to hear and see. The movie itself has fairly dark quality, but this is not worth the money.
