It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Just writing a "review" on some random movie because I'm OCD and want all checkmarks on my profile like a good little girl who does everything she's told. :oD That's not to say I didn't watch this movie though. It's horrible. BOOM. Reviewed. Gimme all my checkmarks IMDb.Oh dear, I have to have at least 1o lines of text to submit for a real actual review. Here is a short story then. Once upon a time, a girl went on IMDb. She then went on a search for the most horrible movie she could find to write a review. It was a tie between this one and another one about male witches where the abysmal line "I'm gonna make you my wi-atch" was uttered. The world ended that day.

Myself and a group of my friends had just watched it today. We actually enjoyed it a lot. Though during the movie we acknowledged the acting was bad, we generally agreed it sure as hell beat Twilight by far (especially in the acting). The concept is a cool idea, and the characters could of been done better. I have to say the plot had a few points were me and my friends simply sat back and enjoyed it, and other points were we couldn't stand it because of the sheer unrealistic social interactions. In my school, if bullies had ever been that direct they would of been met with more physical and verbal resistance from the local outcast populations.But in all, it's not a movie for everybody. It's just a movie for small bands of outcast teens to chuckle at and enjoy amongst friends. Not really for movie goers or someone looking for anything truly epic.

The Surge is a teen movie with a difference. Instead of thrashing out yet another comedy, tragedy, or action flick focusing on teens, the makers have placed their bets on a sci-fi/thriller.Reese Hauser (Mathew Scollon) plays a guy with a shady past who has just relocated to a new area. Being a misfit, he cannot make any friends. Zack Bainbridge (Edward DeRuiter) comes forward with his sister Ashley Bainbridge (Melissa Renie Martin) and friend Phoebe Lewis (Alice Frank), social outcasts in their own right, to befriend him. Zack also reveals a secret place that is a source of untapped and incredible energy. With some experimentation, these four people transform themselves into super-heroes on campus. Zack can read people's minds, Ashley can force people to do whatever she says and Phoebe can transport objects using telekinesis. Reese is the most formidable among them as he can heel any wound! At first, the group has fun and enjoys their newfound powers. However, they slowly discover the dark side of being so powerful as one of them becomes greedy and plans to eliminate the rest of them to become the most powerful. A bloody battle of survival thus ensues between the four. Definitely a teen flick that keeps you on the edge.

We are currently in the middle of watching this movie, me, my husband and my 12 year old son. We're really enjoying it because it is SO bad. The characters are undeveloped and unbelievable, why doesn't anyone notice their eyes changing colour? I love the thought of being able to read everyone's minds, and of course being able to get revenge on anyone who has ever been mean to me. We had to look it up to check it wasn't deliberately tongue in cheek. The scenery in the woods and the speeded up segments remind us very much of the power rangers, as do the shots of the four standing back to back before going off to fight the baddies. We do indeed feel seasick as a result of the rocking camera work. A great movie for a Saturday night in with the kids!
