Review :
The biggest obstacle this movie will be facing is it almost seems too ambitious for its own good. There are several different types of "powers" that individuals can have in this movie. For a list of those powers and description, it may be easier to read the CONCEPT page for the movie. It helps to understand some of what can be done.
Watching this movie, you feel like you've been hit by a "Wiper," an individual that can temporarily or permanently wipe your memory. There's almost a haze as you try to follow everything that is going on and has been going on. We do get a little history lesson on the Division, the government group harvesting those with the special abilities for their own means (that information is also found on the concept page).
The premise of the movie involves a high ranking member of the Division, Agent Henry Carver (played by Djimon Hounsou) trying to retrieve a woman, Kira (played by Camilla Belle), who survived a test drug meant to augment her powers and escaped the facilities. A young teen, Cassie (played by Dakota Fanning), who is a Watcher, seeks out Nick (Chris Evans) in Hong Kong to save the woman and find the drug that can take down the Division and also save Cassie's mother. Nick, himself, escaped the Division's grasp ten years earlier after his father was killed.
The quality of the effects used in the movie varied. When the "Bleeders" let out their brain-melting screams (which causes bleeding from your ears and nose), the results were pretty cool yet the actual screamers look a bit funny. Imagine someone opening their mouth as wide as they can and just screaming. When "Movers" use their telekinesis to move objects, it almost looks like said object is being lifted by an invisible string. Perhaps the jerky movement was meant to illustrate that Nick wasn't a trained mover. He does seem to learn rather quickly as the movie progresses. When movers use their powers to block and deflect bullets, there is a cool ripple effect but sometimes it seems too animated.
Surprisingly with all the powered characters in the movie, we don't see any Phasers, Shifters, Porters or Changers. In the comic it's mentioned that some of those abilities are more rare so maybe that's the reason. It could have helped to make things easier for Hounsou's character. If this mission was so vital to the survival of the Division, you would think they would send in every trained agent they could to retrieve Belle and the drug.
