❝Everyone else, including you and me, are just slaves of this society. Mr. Superhero, those with real power aren't people like us. They were born to win.❞

I decided to watch Psychokinesis on a whim because I saw that Ryu Seung-ryong played the main character, and he's usually awesome in every role he's in. After watching, I can confirm he's great in this, too, but the rest of the film itself could use some work. Psychokinesis is an awesome superpower, and I liked that the plot put a spin on the usual superhero stories with the main character hating the fact they have powers, only to end up saving the city/world/universe; instead, Seok-heon seems to enjoy having his abilities and only uses them to help his daughter and the people she cares about. With that being said, the pacing of the plot wasn't great, and it only picked back up towards the final twenty minutes or so. I also wasn't a huge fan of many of the characters bar Seok-heon and Jung-hyun, though the actors themselves did really well in their respective roles. I liked the action sequences, and the flying scene was very cool, but aside from that the cinematography was kinda average. Overall, I'm glad I gave it a go, but I don't think it's the kind of film I'd rewatch in the future.

I always wondered what it'd look like if middle aged people got powers. Glad somebody also had that idea in mind. Pretty nice story. Nothing too special but it's not bad either.

Explota poco la telequinesis, pero mantiene la tensión por toda la película, algo es algo.
