    A Good Movie with Great Potential

    This Movie is really interesting and the story unfolds throughout. The ending is fantastic and everything a sci-fi fan would hope for. I just wish the rest of the movie was like that. The main character is complex and conflicted about his actions. I think this movie should have been rated R if they were going to have a "Girls Girls Girls" scene. Other than that, I like the cameo at the end and the cast is on point. This movie could be even better, but with what we have it is enjoyable and different from anything else out there.

    Enjoyable

    This film tells the story of a young man who finds a mysterious weapon.

    I think the story is good because it mixes science fiction with crime thriller elements. It is quite engaging, and I enjoyed it.

    Surprisingly good

    I really liked this film, it had a great theme of family and how the characters deal with loss and conflict. It has an amazing ending and I hope that there will be more films as it has a lot of possibilities. James Franco is great at playing sleazy bad guys and he really delivers in this (with the exception of the "walkman story"..that was a bit uneccessary and a bit cringy). I loved the special effects, they were subtle in places and I was glad it wasn't a film bloated with cgi and was relevant to the story. The lead actor was brilliant and a promising young actor and who doesn't love a bit of Zoe kravitz in sparkly underwear? She plays a really good part in this but sometimes I tire of the " tart with a heart role", women are capable of so much more, but she played it well.

    The ending was incredible

    Truthfully, half of the movie I was bored. The characters were good, the story was "eh". However! The ending W-O-W, I couldn't keep my eyes away, it was unexpected and I couldn't believe it was ending. Now I cannot wait until the next one comes out. Sincerely, the ending changed my whole view about the movie. I want to know more!

    I enjoyed it!! I can't wait to see Kin2

    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.

    • Trivia
      The movie was based on a dream one of the directors had involving a young boy sitting in a run down mid-western hotel bathroom analyzing a futuristic weapon. This scene was later incorporated into the film.
    • Goofs
      Shoot out at the police station shows Eli walking through a lot of debris which includes many unfired cartridges with bullets still intact.
    • Crazy credits
      Michael B. Jordan's executive producer credit doesn't appear until the end of the film, presumably to keep the surprise of his cameo in the movie's climax.
