I went to see this yesterday, Tuesday, February 19th, 2013, here in Vallejo, CA, at the CENTURY 14 VALLEJO for the 11:00 a.m. Extra-Dollar Off First Show Matinee in auditorium 2, 7th row ( counting from the front ), 7th column ( counting from the left ). The price of admission was $6.50.
Quickie Review: In South Carolina, two high school kids meet and fall "heels over head" in forbidden love. For unbeknownst to Ethan ( Alden Ehrenreich ), Lena ( Alice Englert ) possesses a supernatural power that can easily turn her into an evil being if she becomes broken-hearted at the time of her "claiming". And two evil entities conspire to use everything in their power to make it happen.
There were just five other people in the audience with me, two males and three females. Their reaction to this movie was warm. Of course, such a low turn-out ( for the first show of the day, and on a weekday ) is in no way a good gauge of an audience's reaction to and/or interest in the movie.
It was so-so for me, though. This Chick Flick movie looks to be a franchise in the making. Go see this if you're into Chick Flicks.
Here are some things wrong with this movie: When they first met, she had the number 104 printed on her hand; the next time that they met, she had the number 79 printed on her hand. In other words, she wore the same clothes for 25 days. Wouldn't her other classmates have also noticed the "counting-down" number on her hand, too? Especially since she made no attempt ( not even a feeble one ) to cover it up. In their first one-on-one conversation, she mentioned the word, "Mortal," and referred to him as such b...u...t he never got the hint because the word just flew over his head, it seemed! When he asked, "Can you make anything grow?" was he asking her in a sexual way? Great Powers come with Great Responsibilities and should not be used just to show-off like when the caster made snow fall! Civil War Re-enactors usually buy their own expensive period piece military clothing, weapons and accoutrements--and I don't think that all of those high school kids could afford to buy their own stuff. When that particular caster manifested a tornado and a number of lightning strikes on the poor and helpless unsuspecting folks--hurting and/or even possibly killing a bunch of them--that pretty much should have sealed the caster's fate!
