Becoming is a supernatural thriller about Alex (Toby Kebbell) and Lisa (Penelope Mitchell), a couple newly engaged and deeply in love.

The changes are small at first. His handwriting. His body language. As Alex struggles with the horror of losing his identity, Lisa notices the shifts in the man she thought she loved. Is he falling out of love with her, or is it something far, far worse? Lisa tracks down Kevin (Jason Patric), a damaged survivor of the entity who has dedicated his life to defeating it.

I feel that the lead (young lad) actor was very convincing as he matured into manhood, displaying various emotions.  The action sequences were well placed to keep the movie flowing.  This is a good Family Movie (except for children under 10). However, I did feel that Helen Boedham-Carter;s voice was a bit too 'whispy' and hard to distinguish the words at times.  (Guess we were spoiled by Sean Connery!) Overall, I really enjoyed seeing this film.

I thought that this was a decent movie. Much like the first Dragonheart it has fighting scenes with bloodshed or death. That is what makes it compelling. It has a nice theme with plot twists. I would recommend this film to tweens and teens and especially to those of dragon and medieval fans.

The movie was great! I think it was cool how Siveth could change different forms and they included information from the other movies in it. The only thing I disliked was the dragon. The dragon wasn't very realistic and didn't fit in with different scenes. Overall, it was good.

Osm , fantastic work done by whole team . Mind blowing VFX  engages audience till the end , also Beltrami's background score is as powerful to support the  ever increasing horror thrill by every minute passed . Direction is gripping and impeccable it keeps audiences stick edge to their seats . Acting normally doesn't have too kuch space in sci fi movie but still kirsten stewart & vincent cassel impressed the audiences with their powerful act , kirsten is beauty & talent she has different spark to play like a relentless hero , she has energetic powerful appearance . Heavy scuba driving gear , tense environment , ever beeping O2 pulse like ER , normal people will call it a  home , someone will call it hell . Confronting deadliest unknown giant creature in deep of ocean is like nightmare every minute passed in such situation is nothing less than hell . Survival thriller has always been cringe worthy so this one is too . Must watch this brilliant sci fi thriller .

It’s a good thriller film, with decent monster designs. I liked the acting, the lack of a soundtrack for most parts, and the idea that the monsters weren’t the only scary things that could happen. The short amount of expose doesn’t detract from the characters, which I very quickly came to enjoy! The small details through the film is touch upon the characters relationships and overall make me care about their lives. For people wondering what the theme of the movie: it’s anti-capitalist. The worn down nature of the bases, the consistent blaring of an auto tune voice telling the characters they are the “companies family” and the ending newspapers explaining another drill will be built, and that the company won’t let the survivors interview. Overall a good movie.

It's a truly magnificent film that presents the tragic story of a man who takes a flawed approach towards peace, set on a path through experiences that—despite being a godlike alien—are relatable. We see Superman in a different light, but at the heart he remains as he always was: a symbol of hope.

On a more casual note, it's been a while since I've cried in a film. The pain and the heartache really hit me in a way I wasn't expecting. Truly an excellent film well worth the watch.

Great movie. Was very surprised how good this one was. If you're a fan of the graphic novel this is based on, you will be pleasantly surprised. Kids under 12 shouldn't watch this one. Casted perfectly and portrayed brilliantly. DC has it's strong point in their animated universe and this is easily one of its best installments. A+. Also, the Steelbook is nicely crafted with beautiful artwork.

Just got home from watching the movie, and honestly, I would go see it again. It was really enjoyable; it had its fair share of action, comedy, and heart-felt moments. Some parts were a little cheesy, but that’s to be expected from a kid’s movie. I think it was a beautiful thing when the creators of the movie actually listened to fans and changed sonic’s design, which without the change, would have lessened the emotional impact of some of Sonic’s scenes dealing with his loneliness and his ‘bucket list’. And of course, Jim Carrey was obviously amazing as Dr.Robotnik. I was lucky enough to go see the movie in a theater full of hardcore Sonic fans, so there was a lot of cheering and made the experience that much better, especially at the special surprise at the end of the credits; people were screaming at that, it was great. I would highly recommend seeing this movie if you are a Sonic fan yourself, have kids, or just want to go see an enjoyable movie fit for anyone to enjoy.

I went in with low expectations, and honestly, the Sonic Movie was better than I expected. So many times, it blew my expectations out of the water! The acting from the characters was amazing. Props to Ben Schwartz voicing Sonic and actually nailing it. Can’t forget about Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik who was one of the best highlights of the movie. It’s been a long time, but Jim Carrey is back and I hope Paramount Pictures continues with the Sonic Movie Series and kinda make it into a Cinematic Universe thing like Marvel. That’d be one of the greatest things to see in Cinema. Paramount, please, make a Sonic Cinematic Universe. I would pay to see all of that. Overall, this movie was really good, so many references were made in this movie, I laughed so hard. All things considered, this movie is not perfect, but it definitely deserves the title, best video game movie of all time. 9/10. Paramount, I commend you. Really solid job. Please continue the Sonic Movie Series in the future. All of us would be really happy.
