The trailer was better than the movie. Just a rip off a lot a of movies you’ve seen with a worse soundtrack. Michael Bay wanna be director. Boring characters with no real family structure. All the characters were the same person. No background behind the characters hidden behind bad dialogue. Wait till you get to the part where she starts rapping in class.… Expand

Wow, this was shockingly bad and I have no idea why the lead actors chose it. The script was derivative but this could perhaps have been made to work if there was some intelligence and imagination put into the action scenes. Unfortunately,Wow, this was shockingly bad and I have no idea why the lead actors chose it. The script was derivative but this could perhaps have been made to work if there was some intelligence and imagination put into the action scenes. Unfortunately, the opposite occurs, with the worst flaw of the movie being the atrocious direction. The pacing was terrible, camera work unfocused and poorly framed, and the entire thing felt slapdash. It's like the director had never seen or read a superhero story and thought that just including the subject in his movie would be 'cool' enough for people to overlook all the gaping flaws. No.… Expand

The audio and visual aspects of the film feel fresh, clean and are highly entertaining. The acting and casting make a solid backbone, you get the feeling that these people enjoyed working with each other and it shows in their chemistry. Essentially, everything that came after the pen and paper aspects of this film is well done.

BAD: Sadly, the paper that this film is based upon, the most important stuff like script and story are uninspired at best. The story is derivative and lacks scope and imagination. There isn't much story once the premise is setup. They invoke deus ex machina to create their happy ending. Some of the most important human connections in the film are paper thin, causing it to feel emotionally emaciated. Without hyperbole I can say that the vast majority of people watching this film could have come up with a more imaginative story. They would have been better off going with some epub fan fiction. I can go on and on, but it comes down to a severe deprivation of imagination, and going into a highly saturated genre, without imagination, new ideas, or story depth, well, that's just stupid.… Expand

Movie was pretty boring. Interesting premesis, poor execution, poor visual effects. Good actors but they can't backpack a movie on their own.

The poor and cheap movie I ever watched. JF tried to bring his dump BLM slogan to the movie and made it become a campaign for his ego. No, it made the movie so cheap.

Couldn't care less about anything that was going on. Found myself zoning out. Generic, uninspired. A shame because it had an interesting premise. But once again suffers from lazy and predictable writing.

Produced by the two clowns that made paranormal activity 3 and 4.

It's the classic Netflix original movie. There is a big star, big explosions, ok story and ok characters. It's not bad, but not good either.

As usual for netflix original films, this is complete garbage.

Unlike Bright, Jamie Foxx is unable to carry the film on his back all alone. He certainly tried, though. I hope he got paid enough to forget he ever participated in this trash.

Kinda fun, kinda topical, just never at the same time. Watch the director’s film “Nerve” instead

The way theyIf you are looking for an action-packed movie with interesting camera angles and a great soundtrack, then this is the movie for you. The first thing I noticed when I started watching this movie was the cool camera angles/shots. The way they specifically decided to shot and zoom in at different points of the film added to the overall vibe. Additionally, the overall aesthetic built off of this. The bright background and interesting filming choices were the 1st things that made me want to be in this world. The fact that this movie gives a new twist of the storyline of mutant type people who have cracked the secrets of evolution, ......you would expect them to show us powers. Well, they delivered. For a Netflix original, this had GREAT CGI. I really enjoyed the way they showed how the "Power" (pill) affected its users on a molecular level. Alongside that, the sequences of people using their powers and fighting were full of action. Now, I also enjoyed the main cast. Both Art (Jamie Foxx) and Frank (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) had a great dynamic with Robin( Dominique Fishback). They both seemed to be very protective over her even though they've both only known her for a little bit. And, each character had a good background story especially Art. Overall, this movie for me is 9.5/10. I want more of this movie.....of this concept. P.S. Guys the soundtrack was hitting and Robin can rap.… Expand

Tasteful and brief, as they should be, a few honorable cameos can be spotted throughout the film with lots of room to extend the universe with some reappearances and world building in a sequel. Taking a step away from the borderline campy vibes from your average superhero movie, Project Power deliveries on action packed variety of powers and sets a realistic take on how the world around them might react. Clever storytelling gives a believable reasoning to the origin of the plot alongside real world issues such as political corruption and societal influences of a broken system bearing down on your average citizen, giving well rounded character development and fluid relationship building between the characters. Every bit of dialogue builds to the next scene without cliche expectations of the characters winking into the camera as so many movies do and keep the audience compelled throughout its entirety - as a smoker, it shocked me to realize two hours had come and gone by the finale. Hands down, a 10 out of 10, and I can’t wait for more. Netflix, please pick up Project Power 2!… Expand

Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays the cop trying to stop its spread, when Jamie Foxx shows up with his own motives. They team up with a teenage dealer (Dominique Fishback) to rout out the culprits. While the plot and script is essentially trite, the most compelling element is seeing what powers will emerge. They're OK, but never especially cool and more often they serve to muddle up matters. Meanwhile, the fight scenes are confusingly staged, which sometimes makes the action hard to follow. While it's moderately entertaining, this film lacks enough originality or filmmaking skill to make this project powerful. On a side note, even though the location is regularly announced as New Orleans, there's little flavor of the city and nobody sports an accent.… Expand
