Fun movie but

Rating: 7/10 (4 June 2018)

The story was interesting, kids finding something out by mistake, being the only ones who knew other sides of the story, yea fine
Problem was that usually movies give the point of the movie before half the movie is through, they usually know what they are fighting or what they are supposed to find
but in this?
I was waiting for the kids to get superpowers throughout most of the movie (mainly because of the movie name......)
While those kids looked like they achieved this and that, in reality NONE of what they did, impact the ending even a little bit, it would have ended the exact same way if they were gone!
That alien was building the machine throughout the movie without anyone noticing, in the end the kids were just close enough to witness the machine being turned on, within a minute the spaceship got built through that machine, and it flew off, the kids had nothing to do with the outcome of the movie, it really bugs me
Superpowers i thought a bit too because a little car was able to stop and derail a huge heavy military train, and the driver of that car didnt even die from all those train-wagons exploding and flying around (and of course the most obvious, the impact with the train), because of that i thought that he had superpowers and couldnt die so fast... hoped for whatever was in the trainwreck, to come out, infect the kids with superpowers and THAT would be interesting xD
BUT
all in all, the movie was still fun to watch, a little scarier/darker than some other action movies, but not enough to be a horror movie (even though there is 2-3 jumpscares and some scary silence at times making you expect a jumpscare)
Monster scariness comparable to... the fish from The Host, cant think of another example for now.
If you dont mind a movie where the main characters only work as "Watchers" and "Explainers" of what happens, then go on watch the movie, its good
