Even the whole teenagers finding themselves going from number to individual is pure "The Prisoner."(At least, Sarah is also included in this conversation.) Like Sam says, the classics are usually the best. Along these same lines, the movie could have definitely used more mystery than a pyrotechnic blonde(Teresa Palmer) on the loose. By comparison, the late lamented "The Fades" pulled it off with its original and weird mythology. That lasts all of five minutes before John protects Sam(Callan McAuliffe) from a bully which Sarah(Dianna Agron, surprisingly good) takes notice of.īernie Kosar poster and cute dog notwithstanding, "I Am Number Four" is a mediocre and contrived science fiction variation on "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer," replete with the beginnings of a Scooby Gang, but lacking much of its magic and heart, despite Marti Noxon being credited as one of the movie's writers. Unlike every other single teenager in the history of the world, four, now under the name of John Smith, wants to go to high school which Henri reluctantly permits as long as he does not bring any unwanted attention to himself. As a result, number four(Alex Pettyfer) gets a new scar which is a signal for his wat.protector Henri(Timothy Olyphant) to relocate them from Florida to Ohio. Where there were once nine hopes for an alien race, now there are only six, after the third(Greg Townley) is killed by the evil Mogadorians.
