Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
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
bjaffe8 Director James Seale did a lot with a small budget. Great acting all around. The cast was extraordinary with some really big names like Teri Hatcher, Louis Gossett Jr, and Michael Masse. Even though its a low budget film, good effects and excellent writing make this an enjoyable movie. The movie still plays on Sci-Fi. It was supposed to be made into a series but this has not come into fruition. Catch James Seale's other movies, Scorcher and Asylum on video or HBO. Its good to see a Philly boy in this business who is working and doing well. His newest film ,"Throttle" is an action packed thriller in the vain of "Duel". Keep on the lookout Bruce Jaffe in another James Seale production!!
Claudio Carvalho When a trio of men with telekinetic power leaded by Adrian Geiger (Michael Massee) robs an armored car, the skeptical FBI agents Jordan Ripps (Teri Hatcher) and her partner Frank McIntyre do not believe in the testimony of the witnesses about the powerful skills of the gang. Meanwhile, the former FBI agent Raymond Addison (Louis Gossett Jr.) is chasing Geiger, who was a survival of his special force of powerful men, and blackmails the physics professor Zachary Shefford (Grayson McCouch), using him to find the location where Geiger, his daughter Tristen Geiger (Nicki Aycox) and their community of telekinetic people are placed. The reunion of Geiger and Addison will lead them to a tragic consequence."Momentum" is not a bad movie, as indicated in many reviews. Although being a low-budget TV movie, it is Indeed a good entertainment. The story uses elements of "Scanners", "The Fury", "Firestarter" and other sci-fi stories, but I liked it. The beauty of Teri Hatcher is still very impressive, but the weak unknown actor Michael Massee with his expressionless face spoils the important and key character of Adrian Geiger. Having some improvements in the screenplay, better special effects and a better actor in the role of Geiger, "Momentum" might be a great movie. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Momentum – Ameaça Indestrutível" ("Momentum – Indestructible Menace")
