[@93baby38]

This movie was okay. It started off good and ended up okay. Because as the movie progressed it started feeling more like a made for tv movie or like another episode of a super hero show.

[@QuestionQuestionMark]

I think that's because one of them only really has any experience working in and around T.V shows. So that's all he knows what to make really, they just have to look to other good superhero films to get the idea down in the best way.

"A Canadian sci-fi from Canada"

[@nazfive7063]

This deserves a sequel

[@CaptIronfoundersson]

I had no idea about the story behind this production. I just thought it looked like a good sci-fi flick. I'm even more impressed with it now that I know.

[@electricbayonet2]

I enjoyed it, but it felt like it could have been constructed a lot more tightly. Probably the standout example of that is Nia, the healer: for the life of me, I don't know why she was in the film, and her presence actually creates some problems. In no particular order... -How is her power useful to Marcus? Her 'healing' is a 1-to-1 transfer of injuries/illnesses from one person to herself, and Marcus apparently uses her to roll back some kind of chronic lung problem...but for some reason, the only time we see her ever cough is when she was actively healing him. Surely this isn't the first time he used her for that power, right? So...how is she still of any use? How does she still function so normally if she's done this before? On a similar note... -...why is anyone impressed by her power? If we had seen her take Connor's cut from his arm, and then saw it rapidly knit itself back together once it was on her body (ie, some low-tier Wolverine healing factor) then that would be one thing. It might be painful for her to take injuries from others, and even explain her drug dependence (kind of like how Painkiller Jane has a massive healing factor...but it doesn't make the injuries hurt any less, hence the habit she got the name from), and make forcing her to use her power a far more interesting moral dilemma. If the act of healing Connor's mother would have been horrific but nonfatal agony, then it turns it from 'Would you take a random but innocent life to save a loved one?' to 'Would you torture a random but innocent life to save a loved one?' The latter seems to have a lot more potential as a moral dilemma. Trading a life for a life is one thing, especially when both are innocent. It's a very clear line in the sand. But trading innocent suffering for an innocent life? That's a hell of a lot easier for an otherwise-decent person to rationalize when they've got a personal stake. But regardless, that brings me to the next issue... -...which is that her presence needlessly complicates the end of Connor's arc. The entire reason he went into crime was for money to pay for medical treatments for his mother despite her opposition to him acquiring the money by any means necessary, and it ended with him choosing to respect her wishes and let her pass peacefully rather than resorting to increasingly immoral acts in the name of saving her. The healer was completely unnecessary to that arc, as described. The fight in the garage ended with Marcus dead and Garret on his way to filling the criminal void left behind. It seemed pretty clear that, if Connor wanted to, he would have been welcome in Garret's new organization, probably as his second-in-command if not outright partner. All we needed was for Connor to part ways with Garret, go to the hospital to have one final conversation with his mother before she passes, and then turn himself in. There's a fair amount of other stuff unrelated to her, but most of it comes down to stuff that felt like it should have either been given more thought, or left on the cutting room floor. I have no idea (other than 'child actors are complicated to deal with') why they went from having Connor as a struggling single father to a son with a sickly mother. I really like the idea of brain tumors causing complications with powers, but that's a whole separate matter that the movie doesn't have enough time to work with. The short film also did a hell of a lot better with even _remotely_ explaining how the power ranking system worked, and the film did almost nothing for it (in the short, the notion of Connor's friend being a Class 2 Brawn was a big deal for ensuring they got work, and we got to see what a Class 2 could do when he lifted the pickup truck onto two wheels). But I'm rambling now. Still liked the movie, though, and I'll probably watch the miniseries spinoff that may-or-may-not still in the words.

I actually just watched this movie last night, it was pretty good. Had no idea they were cousins, or it was a crowd funded movie. I remember seeing a trailer for it on YT, that is about it. Overall the effects were decent, the story was OK. I found it had some issues, but nothing that ruined it for me. There was no chemistry between the star and his assumed "love interest", no real depth to the characters, but it was fleshed out enough to make it entertaining. I would watch a sequel.
