Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
gavin6942 A man with telekinetic abilities meets a group of people with similar powers.I stumbled upon this film because I was itching for some Zach Galligan. This, unfortunately, was not the film to fill that need. Galligan is a relatively minor player here, with this being a spotlight film for Teri Hatcher (who apparently could only do B-movies ever since "Lois and Clark" ended and until "Desperate Housewives" started).Honestly, as far as SyFy Channel films go, this one really is not that bad. Rather than exotic scientific junk made up out of thin air (a common theme since "Eureka" became successful), this relies on a very simple scientific principle: friction. I appreciate that.
TheLittleSongbird Momentum does have its moments. The film looks decent, with some atmospheric-looking scenery and not-too-choppy editing. Some of the physical stunts are well done. And there are a couple of performances that are not bad. Terri Hatcher still looks beautiful and not only is she charming but she gives her character some steel. Daniel Dae Kim also stands out in a small role, he does have style and charisma. However despite the title, Momentum just doesn't have any momentum. The script is cheesy and too talky, the story is sluggish and predictable with a severe lack of suspense and tension and the characters are underdeveloped clichés. The rest of the acting apart from Hatcher and Kim doesn't leave much of an impression. Louis Gossett Jnr sleepwalks through his role and Michael Massee is a bland and expressionless lead.All in all, not irredeemable but didn't do much to thrill me. 4/10 Bethany Cox
kapecki If it weren't for the editing out of curse words and a superimposed blur when one character give another the finger, it would be easy to mistake this low-budget snoozer for a Sci-Fi channel pilot. The plot about the government's attempts to destroy a group of telekinetics it originally trained as military weapons ends ambiguously enough with the hero, himself gifted, in pursuit of a telekinetic survivor bent on revenge. Alas, the movie is talky, boring, predictable and even devoid of interesting special effects. Top-billed Louis Gossett, Jr. has a minor role as the evil government bureaucrat who originated the program and now wants to eliminate all traces. He walks through the part and it is hard to understand why he bothered. Other members of the cast do a decent job with a script that demands little.
jrgreenmd-1 The films of the Science Fiction Channel ( Sci-Fi Channel ) have become boringly predictable. The seem low on budget, originality, and plot.In this creation the government is out to get a bunch of telekinetics and recruits a poor soul by devious means to help. There is plenty of over worked recycled twists on evil government organization theme. black coats, shadows, short meaningless lines make these one dimensional cartoons.Daniel Dae Kim stands out as a good actor in a small role. He brings a bit of the style of his "Angel" character to the role. It is hard to miss the link that his "Crusade" character was a telepath and this is a film on telekinetics. Was this a Sci-Fi casting move to try and draw fans from the other show? Who knows. Thankfully he is a decent actor and a pleasure to watch.The movie is definitely low budget. It reflects The Sci-Fi Channels current model of Canadian location, few well known characters, few effects, and woefully terrible plot and character development. One would think they believe science fiction fans will view anything labeled "scifi."If you want a good telekinesis movie, check out "the Fury" ( 1978).
