Title: Lacks cohesiveness and overly ambitious
Review: "I Am Number Four" is an action science-fiction thriller with an interesting premise. Number Four (Alex Pettyfer) is an alien whose home planet, Lorien, was destroyed by an evil race of hit men called the Mogadorians. Four is one of nine Lorien children sent to Earth to escape their planet's destruction. Legend says that they will eventually gain enough power to vanquish the Modadorians. So the Mogadorians have tracked them to Earth, intent on wiping out all nine. One, Two and Three have already been killed. Four must act quickly and decisively, but first he must hide in plain sight. How? By enrolling in his local high school.This movie is all over the place and far too ambitious. Sometimes it aspires to be "The Matrix," other times "The X Files," and still others a John Hughes flick. Bonus extras on the Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Combo Pack include a making-of featurette, bloopers, and six deleted scenes.
