It is quite sometime, I watched the movie “I am Number four” on a suggestion. The ticket was booked at Inox for the 7.30 pm show on Saturday.
I am Number four is a saga of two alien races. One of which fight for survival and another for power and supremacy. I am Number four is adapted from a novel of the same name by James Frey and Jobie Hughes who write by the pen name Pittacus Lore. Produced by DreamWorks Pictures it released on 18/02/2011.
The story starts with a commentary – 9 alien beings escaped from the planet Lorien. They are chased by Mogadorians, another race of aliens. The species from Lorien looks like humans on earth. 9 of them took shelter on earth and they can be killed only in sequence. They were given numbers from 1 to 9. Each of them had special power and legacies. The Mogadorians wanted to kill them and gain their power. Number 1 was killed in Malaysia, Number 2 in England and Number 3 in Kenya. The story revolves around Number 4 – who was introduced as Daniel Jones and his guardian Henri who runs from one place to another to save Daniel.
As Henri discovers that the other race has found about their whereabouts, they decided to leave Florida and move to Paradise, Ohio. Here Daniel takes a new name John Smith and decides to go to school again against the wish of Henri. There he meets and gets closer to Sarah Hart. Makes friend with Sam who thinks his father was abducted by aliens. Here John suddenly started to develop power and one day in the astronomy class his hand started to hurt and glow. Henri tells him that his first legacy arrived and he is becoming powerful.
As John and Sarah gets closer, Sarah’s ex – boyfriend Mark decides to kidnap Sarah when both of them were going through a artificial hunted place in a fair. John defeats Mark and his associates. Here was John’s first display of strength. At a Thanksgiving dinner Henri did not turn up and nor answered his call. Worried John started to search and found Henri at Sam’s publisher of alien conspiracy magazine. The publisher was with the other race. John freed Henri and ran away. However, on the Mogadorians tried to Kill number 4 (John) but Henri was killed and thus the sequence was broken. The last climax fight scene was beautifully shot. John and Sarah was in the photography lab when Mogadorians with the help of Mark surrounded them. But with number 6 coming to the scene they fight back and kills the Mogadorians. The movie ends with John, Sam and Number 6 leaving in search of the other 4 Lorien. John told Sarah, he will be back again.
