Code 8

I will start out by saying that the movie is not great, but I can also say that it doesn't deserve as much flack as it's getting. A thing some have been talking about was that it doesn't add anything new and while it is true, I also don't think it needs to. The movie is enjoyable to watch and it definitely had potential. My complaint with this movie is with the characters. The characters have little to no development or depth. Again I want to restate that it's not a bad movie, at points, you can feel as if the characters could be real people and connect with them. However these moments are cliche and very few. At it's worst, the movie will throw ideas in the air and never come back to them. Special effects are very well done and don't let down. The plot was generic but still enjoyable. Overall, this movie is good for casual audiences and people that just wanna sit down and turn off their brain for an hour after a long day. If you want something with a lot more to offer than this then I wouldn't recommend watching this movie.

Worth watching for a decent mashup of Sci-Fi and Heist genres. Some all-too-convenient plot devices abound along with the now-familiar premise of powered people being discriminated against. It had a chance to be very good and instead was just decent, but I'll watch a decent Sci-Fi flick any time.

It's nice to see a film about superpowers be about "normal" people, about the choices they have to make to live their lives. A solid story, good characters, good acting and very well done special effects make this film well worth watching.

First I gotta say , After almost 8 years, It is kinda hard looking at Stephen Amell as anything but Arrow :D :D I don't know ,, even his role here you can see The Arrow's personality is all over him.

So the plot of the movie is fresh and genuine, connected at most of the time and easily followable ,, I wouldn't say it is like the best thing there is on the big screen, but as I said it is enjoyable... and the VFX were simple but precise and good.

The cast were mostly good, love Stephen and Robbie Amell, they always engage with their roles to the fullest and end up giving their absolute best.

The movie is good, Recommended.

It's Dec 2019 and I can safely count on both hands films that I've thoroughly enjoyed this year and Code 8 is one of the them. Mid budget Scfi drama at its best. Watchable once and maybe again a year or two from now. A definite go.
