7/10
Make a sequel!!

I really liked the concept of this film, with the idea that some people could have psychic powers and the institutes that might try to take advantage of that and use them as weapons, although it has all obviously been done before (Star Trek's Khan Noonien Singh/Deadpool/Captain America/His Dark Materials and many more) and there are a lot of comparisons to be made, but it had its own stuff going on too. However, I personally felt that given twenty more minutes, this film could have had a better pace, more time to explain what was going on and a chance to see the relationships forming properly, which is where I think it lacked somewhat. I'd like to read a book version in the hope that it would give more information and I'd like to find out what happens after the end of this film as I was left hanging for answers.

My favourite Chris (Google his Twitter Pictures) was good in his role, but I thought Dakota stood out as the best performance. She's a very talented young lady. I also think the guy from Fear The Walking Dead, whose name I've forgotten, has a certain something that is appealing and I liked his character.

An enjoyable watch, but don't get too invested as there doesn't seem to be any additional information on this universe.
