while the story had some interesting possibilities, I couldn't really enjoy it. The found footage approach didn't work well, and the dialogue was just terrible and the characters were predictable and thin. There were a couple laughs, but beyond that it just didn't work for me at all.

Non riesco a farmi piacere il POV e quindi il mio giudizio su questi lavori risulta sempre condizionato.La sceneggiatura non è per nulla originale anche se è ben strutturata,il ritmo della narrazione scorre via veloce senza inutili orpelli:si concentra quasi unicamente sul percorso emotivo e sulla metamorfosi del protagonista,fino al prevedibile finale.In fin dei conti un gradevole film di intrattenimento.

One of the best arguments for humans not having super powers. Brilliant.

Although the climax was a bit dodgy (mostly due to the special effects), I kinda enjoyed this.
