Great watch, will watch again, and can recommend.

I am partial to found footage style of shooting, so I understand if that's not for you.

Dane DeHaan does a lot of the heavy lifting in this movie, but Michael B. Jordan is right behind him, alongside Alex Russell. It is almost literally just these 3 guys filming each other as they gain, experiment, and grow their supernatural abilities. There are some supporting cast, but they're more there as plot devices, and another camera angle. Found footage is not easy to do, which is why everyone complains about it.

This is a very natural feeling movie with some dark aspects too it. I really think you can feel when the mood changes in this movie. It also brings up some great points on the "reality" of if people gained super powers.

While most people would claim to be Captain America, the reality is that people tend to do whatever they can get away with, so creating a checks and balances with one's co-supernaturals makes sense, but the reality is enforcing that turns it into super "hero" versus super "villain".

Surprisingly, this movie reminds a little bit of "Hancock", but probably not quite as good, mostly just different.

If you like dark, edgy super power stuff or found footage, give it a go.
