Project Power

Netflix has been a great help to watch films but recent ones I watched weren't so good and I didn't want to do a load of reviews for bad films but luckily that changed with project power.

I think what I liked most about this film is the overall story and concept; A pill that gives you superpowers for a limited amount of time which could be anything. It leads to an interesting look at what could happen to the real world if this pill actually existed.

And speaking of the real world, the world building is just interesting to watch. How people adapt, become addicted, deal the pills and the overall reactions to the pills, how different sides respond to them.

And all that helps when you have a strong cast. All the performances are great to watch. It's nice to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt doing a film again and I love seeing Jamie Foxx in pretty much anything. They both play well developed and interesting characters and I really liked Jamie Foxx's characters main story. I was also really impressed Dominique Fishback. I don't remember her in much before and her character is just fun and interesting to watch.

Onto the mixed aspect of the film and the only thing that comes to mind is the action. Now there are times the action is very well staged and looks really good but there's also times where it looks overedited and it looks like people are just flipping over.

Onto the bad now and while I don't have any big problems with the film, I did notice a few misteps. First of all, the tone is inconsistent at times. It can go from sad and serious to this odd comedic moments that feels very out of place.

And the final issue I had was some aspects of the CGI. There's one scene in particular where somebody takes a pill and turns into a giant muscular monster type person and the CGI just looks bad and very cartoonish.

But besides those two negatives, I really enjoyed this film and I would definitely recommend it. It's a fun, enjoyable and interesting film with some good ideas.
