Ascendant

The most exciting part of this movie was when I spilt my drink down my shorts... during the opening credits. I took my partner to see this, who is suffering from a spine injury and is on a heap of pain killers to the extent that opening the popcorn box provided entertainment to him.. yet half way through he turned to me (to wake me up) and say "this is awful". I was hoping for Saw meets Speed elevator style, what we get is X-Men meets Bridesmaids. This analogy makes no sense, but neither does the plot of this movie...so, I think it's a fair statement.

Dad and daughter kidnapped, Dad tortured to give up girl's secret.

Torture... Girl has flashback... Torture... Flashback... Torture... Flashback... Girl suddenly remembers she has (ridiculous superpower) Uses power to escapes.

The end.

Now you don't have to watch this slow movie. The reveal is telegraphed and anticlimactic. And I hesitate to even mention, but a movie where they put an almost 30 yr old modelesque woman in kids overalls and sneakers and pretend she's a teenager, feels like the casting director is a creep.

Honestly... I've been waiting to see this movie forever because I have been wanting to see something new with Charlotte Best. But 1, I couldn't stay focused through this movie to get an actual account for the plot, which left me totally confused as to what I just watch by the end. Ok, she's "something special." But WTF IS SHE?!? A future Avenger? Soon-to-be member of the Legion of Doom?!

Ummm all the 10 star reviews are from members that are less than 3 months old. I smell something.

Seriously this movie was terrible. I'd rather watch paint dry than even attempt to rewatch to even understand what was going on. Absolutely confusing, no plot, and just constant crying from the lead actress, no action nor explanation of her powers or what she can do etc. Don't waste your time, this one's really bad, like terribly boring.
