a5c7b9f00b High school senior John Smith, just moving into the small town of Paradise, Ohio, with his "father" Henri, is outwardly your typical American teenager; however, John (which is just his latest assumed name) is in reality a refuge from the planet Lorien. When he was but an infant, he and eight other Lorien infants escaped from Lorien's holocaust when the planet was overrun by the marauding Mogadorians, who killed all the other Loriens. Each of the nine was assigned a protector/warrior, John's being Henri. The nine are all on Earth, but each has no idea the whereabouts of the other eight. The Mogadorians are out to find and kill the nine, in order, with John being number four. The death of number three, which John felt, prompts his and Henri's move to Paradise, knowing he will be next. Although aware of his heritage, John only knows life on Earthhis true history; thus, he has many of those wants of the American teenager. Their move to Paradise coincides with John beginning to understand he has special powers, which made him one of the chosen nine. Although Henri tells John to stay under the radar, John has a less than inauspicious introduction to life in Paradise, largely because of his associations with two classmates. There's Sam, an oft-picked-upon boy, who, largely because his long-missing father, has always believed in extraterrestrial life (passed down from his dad); and, there's Sarah, the first girl to whom John has ever been attracted. The issue with Sarah is that she is the ex-girlfriend of Mark, the football team's quarterback and school's chief bully, who still wants Sarah back despite having bad-mouthed her publicly since their break-up. John's notoriety in combination with the problems of dealing with the regular issues of teenage life may make John and Henri easier to find by the Mogadorians, which places the lives of all those in Paradise in danger. All the while, Henri continues with his other primary mission, which is to help John find the remaining five, who in combination can better battle the Mogadorians.
Extraordinary teen John Smith (Pettyfer) is a fugitive on the run from ruthless enemies sent to destroy him. Changing his identity, moving from town to town with his guardian Henri (Olyphant), John is always the new kid with no ties to his past. In the small Ohio town he now calls home, John encounters unexpected, life-changing events - his first love (Agron), powerful new abilities and a connection to the others who share his incredible destiny.
During a beach party, "teenager" "John" (Alex Pettyfer) goes for a sneaky nocturnal dip with a bikini beauty, only to have her exit the sea, screaming, when a bright light starts shining out of his leg. We know that this signals the death of "Number Three" deep in a jungle somewhere (because we have just seen this happen), and that John is "Number Four" in a list of 9 survivors of the genocide perpetrated on the planet Lorien by evil conquerors the Mogadorians, who have tattooed bald heads, long black coats, pointy teeth, and gills on each side of their noses. We know all this because "John" has told is in an opening voice-over which is the film's first big mistake - it would have been better served by us learning the backstory in bits and pieces. Anyway John and his guardian Henri (Timothy Olyphant)(hang on, doesn't that make 10 survivors?) up sticks from their beach house, and leg it to small town Paradise, Ohio, where "John" immediately starts out at the local high school. But the Mogadorians are still in pursuit, not to mention a mysterious hot girl in leathers, not to mention "John" getting the hots for local high school photographer Sarah, not to mention becoming chums with local awkward kid "Sam" whose Dad was interested in aliens and disappeared, not to mention the high school jock whose dad is police chief and who still regards Sarahhis personal property, not to mention the dog which used to be a lizard and which has adopted "John"…<br/><br/>So we have a high school romance/rivalry/odd geek out sci-fi action adventure romp ie. significant genre crossover. Wwll, if Twilight can do it with vampires, there doesn't seem to be any reason why sci-fi shouldn't have a crack.<br/><br/>I quite liked this. The characters are likable, there is always something happening, the action and effects sequences are well staged and, if you can put aside the negative elements, then you may well enjoy it. In fact, considering what a mess it is conceptually, it hangs together surprisingly well. It it has clearly been made with the hope that it will turn out to be the first entry in a franchise.<br/><br/>But I have to point out two major criticisms. One, there are enough plot holes, illogicalities, and unanswered questions to stock a shop with, And, two, the main performers - Pettyfer in particular - are far too old to pass convincinglyhigh school students. If you look for other negatives, you'll find them - they aren't exactly difficult to uncover - but I found enough to like that I could ignore them or make up my own explanations.
Dear all, if you did enjoy this movie, go and buy the book. After all in the movie, they have changed the powers, skipped a lot and did not even mention the a small part of the background of number 4. The only things that are similar is the main story line.. For example, Henry dies in the movie before the final battle, in the book, he saves number four several times and dies just at the end of the book in the heat of battle..<br/><br/>So my advice, READ THE BOOK!<br/><br/>You're welcome<br/><br/>Floris237
A flashy, lunkheaded sci-fi extravaganza sure to appeal to teenagers who like their interplanetary warfare bloodless, their high-school soaps squeaky-clean and their numbers countable on one hand.
