Here's some news to shock the pants off of you. I saw "Push" a few days ago, and it was just terrible. I completely agree with High-Def Digest when they say "In a nutshell, 'Push' is the perfect example of good concept -- bad form."
Which is too bad. Because the movie did have a great deal of potential. How did it fail then if it was such a sure thing. You can liken it to a bad independent film with too many canted angle shots and funky coloring, mixed with bad acting and "Xmen 3". Now, I hated... just hated "Xmen 3", so dont be offended by my likening it to "Push" if you are a fan.
What I felt they were trying to do in this film, was create a potential franchise. It is poorly casted, Chris Evans just is terrible and seems like a douche. Not that Djimon Hounsou or Camilia Belle are any better. Dakota Fanning is only slightly more believable and unfortunately seems to have to carry her costars through the story, which is more confusing than I would like to retell.
In the end, they find the Camila Belle is some super mutant, like Jean Grey, and is now a bad guy. How clever and original you say? I thought the same... And she is brainwashed and then on Hounsou's side. So, instead of actually defeating the bad guy (which is typically how a movie concludes), the story switches from even caring about him to being about how Fanning and Evans managed to change their predicted futures. Its just one big muddled, confusing, poorly acted, disappointment.
