Kin is in many ways the spiritual successor to the universally hated Laserblast (1978). Same movie, tweaked and modernized.

It tells the tale of a boy who finds a futuristic weapon in an abandoned building, and the chaos it brings to his life.

The movie is stylish though it reeks of teen sci-fi franchise. Hollywood should know better by now, the majority of these things don't make it past the first movie!

So it looks the part and the cast is great featuring Dennis Quaid, James Franco and Zoe Kravitz. It's cliched, it's rather generic and follows a very tried and tested formula.

My issue isn't with any of that, to be fair generally that's what you expect these days. My issue is one that has been rife in the movie industry for a good decade now, and that's scummy protagonists.

One core movie essential is a character or characters that you care about, that you empathize with, that you're along for the journey with and you're cheering them on every step of the way. So why do so many movies now shove down our throats these scummy criminal "Good guys". Why should I care about them? These are not good people, I can't cheer them on! They're antagonists surely!?

This is something I just can't get over, movies like Attack the Block (2011) really seemed to start this wave of them and enough is enough.

If you like teen sci-fi movies then this might appeal, but I hope you don't mind cheering on criminals.

The Good:

Looks the part

Decent cast

The Bad:

Who am I supposed to be rooting for?

James Franco is saturating the industry, enough already

Really generic stuff

Fmovies: There is not much I can say about this movie,except that it felt more like the fist part of a book than a movie and I was looking for part 2 even before the credits were done. Not because the film was good or great, nor because the acting because it could have been better, the stenography was in part both understandable, working and dull at the same time. And it felt short, like a part was missing.

The core of the story on the other hand was interesting and it has been a long time since a movie story has had a core story that was interesting to me. Don't take me wrong the story could have been better and it felt unfinished in an unsatisfying way.

I'm an avid movie buff and have loved movies for over 30 years, I love fantasy, science fiction, books and above all I love stories that has not been TOLD before like most movies that comes out. This story felt untapped, like there were more to tell and I hadn't heard something quite like it in a looong time and they should have lots nice words for just that

The story didn't feel derivative like most movies and tv-shows these days and it has gotten noticeably worse the last decade or so, so this was a nice way for me at least to spend 70 minutes or so, but maybe just maybe not everyone will see it the same way I do and at least some, if I go by the comments online, didn't get a major part of the story at all..

Still I want the rest of the story told, read or seen..

This is a drama film, with other things, it's an "on the run" crime film about morality and family, but there is another sci-fi element that keeps you wanting to know more. The ending was amazing with a tip of the hat to the original Terminator movie. Great acting and cinematography, I hope to see a sequel

Kin fmovies. I dont know what movie the other reviewers saw but what I witnessed was an epic film shot well directed well with interesting locations and great locations. Kin aikens back to a more subtle time, where a film doesnt have to shove subject matter down your throat to be categorized within a genre. The sci-fi is subtle the coming of age is subtle the love story is subtle the action is subtle with payoffs but when you add all this subtlety together you get an epic adventure. Albeit the passing feels slow at times it's nice to add some breathing room for the characters to grow and the story to progress more than a to b. Alot of the story is showed and not told, a nice contrast to other films released along side. 10/10 would reccomend to anyone and everyone.

This movie took an amazing twist after laying a somewhat slow setting. Initially I was like "meh".... Oh buddy, I went from laying down to sitting straight up in bed and to saying "whoa" and "wow"!!!!

I love this type of sci-fi movie, like Terminator and Predator. Unexpected encounters and out of this world advanced hi-tech. The special effects where amazing. Quaid and Franco were great as usual. You could go to so many places with a sequel. I'd definitely like to see Kin2. If you like to watch sci-fi like me, you'll definitely love this one. Kin2 must happen and I'll be there when it comes out.
