Fresher, smarter, more coherent in the superhero genre than most wanna-be films. Remarkable for how it improves on the Marvel superhero formula with a fraction of the budget. Remarkable for the star power both Jamie Foxx and Gordon-LevittFresher, smarter, more coherent in the superhero genre than most wanna-be films. Remarkable for how it improves on the Marvel superhero formula with a fraction of the budget. Remarkable for the star power both Jamie Foxx and Gordon-Levitt bring to the screen even if the characters give them little to work with. Nothing breakthru thematically. Simply very solid, well made action-super-hero shenanigans done with joy.… Expand

Project Power has some good points going for it. The story is different and more interesting. However there is some blurry things about the involvement of the army or the government. It's not very well explained. The FX are really goodProject Power has some good points going for it. The story is different and more interesting. However there is some blurry things about the involvement of the army or the government. It's not very well explained. The FX are really good especially with displaying the powers. The acting is solid from the main actors. The secondary are average. The music is decent. I give it 70%. Mainly because I like the performance of the actors, and visually, the movie is different.… Expand

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie was great. It has a unique story and an interesting plot twist. The only problem here is there are lots of boring scenes and talking. It's like most of the scenes have dead air. Anyways, the film is great, the choice of actors we're also good. It is worthy to watch on Netflix!… Expand

I was hesitant to watch this movie because of the old superhero trope. Also the critic and user reviews did not seem very kind. I am really glad that I watched it and I think it deserved a way better score than what people are giving it. TheI was hesitant to watch this movie because of the old superhero trope.

Entertaining movie throughout action packed. And i really enjoyed the ending. I'm from Louisiana so it was cool to see some places i recognized in the movie. If there is a part 2 of this film i would watch it.

Has some good points to it. Good performances and overall good movie, main issue is the script and the film not taking full advantage of it's premise.
