\”Why this movie seem to get a lot of 7 and above ratings is beyond me. It’s certainly not my cup of tea. The three high school friends are behaving annoyingly stupid, reckless and irresponsibly. Only one of them is showing any sign of intelligence. One of them is just silly and the other one is a nutcase. Of course the film actually revolves around the nutcase. It starts of kind of okay with the three friends finding this glowing alien thing which gives them superpowers and there are some mildly funny scenes when they experiment with them. After that it spirals out of control when the nutcase goes more and more insane. I can live with the drama and bizarre behaviours if the movie would have had some other redeeming factors such as imagery or acting but none of it is present here. Rather the inverse since the film shot in this wobbling-about handycam/documentary style which I really do not like. I’m afraid that I found this movie not very entertaining.”

\”Great watch, will watch again, and can recommend. I am partial to found footage style of shooting, so I understand if that's not for you. Dane DeHaan does a lot of the heavy lifting in this movie, but Michael B. Jordan is right behind him, alongside Alex Russell. It is almost literally just these 3 guys filming each other as they gain, experiment, and grow their supernatural abilities. There are some supporting cast, but they're more there as plot devices, and another camera angle. Found footage is not easy to do, which is why everyone complains about it. This is a very natural feeling movie with some dark aspects too it. I really think you can feel when the mood changes in this movie. It also brings up some great points on the "reality" of if people gained super powers. While most people would claim to be Captain America, the reality is that people tend to do whatever they can get away with, so creating a checks and balances with one's co-supernaturals makes sense, but the reality is enforcing that turns it into super "hero" versus super "villain". Surprisingly, this movie reminds a little bit of "Hancock", but probably not quite as good, mostly just different. If you like dark, edgy super power stuff or found footage, give it a go.”
