Review of Project Power (2020) by Lifelover90 — 18 Aug 2020

When I read the movie description I got intrigued since the premise is not a typical 'action superhero gonna save the world from otherworldly beings' but something else. Instead, the plot asks an important question - what would happen if we all got our hands on a chemical that can transform our capabilities beyond recognition? Does it mean we doom ourselves to extinction? Does it mean chaos will multiply to an unimaginable degree or we could evolve towards a united, caring and contributing whole - as humanity.

This got me thinking and I was hoping very much that the movie would address it in a fine blend between dynamic sci-fi action spiced with philosophical attributes, however I came to realize that beyond the fine visual effects and actors' play, the movie felt more than half empty. I found that the character development is flawed. Throughout the entire movie I never really grew to caring for any of the characters. By the end I felt bored of it yet I watched it all the way out of respect for the overall work and production.

At the end of the day I wouldn't recommend it.
