Chloe King reminds me a little of Buffy, her best friends Paul and Amy are expies of Xander and Cordelia, and Alek and Jasmine may as well be Faith and Giles. That being said, this is the perfect summer show. It's not too heavy on the sex/gore that most shows seem to be pushing, Chloe is a relatable young woman who reacts as most of us would in the same situation, she first goes for a little thrill ride with her new abilities, but quickly discovers the downside and is forced to face the sobering fact that like it or not, she's got new responsibilities, and people are going to try to kill her.

The one quibble I have with this show is the stereotypical portrayals of the bad guys - talking at night in suspicious black hoodies with their leader in a limousine. Other than that, it's a refreshing, wonderful show.

Alright, I'll admit that Ioan Gruffud has done much better, same with Richard Roxburgh (one of my all-time favorites, and probably the best in the film). When I can start going through the cast and saying, "Okay, she'll die, he'll die... My GOD I hope he dies..." and be right about it, it's probably not going to be that good a film. That said, it's certainly not the abomination everyone on here claims it to be. It has beautiful 3D camera work, and Rhys Wakefield and Richard Roxburgh are definitely the two bright spots. Do not go into this expecting another Avatar or a horror movie like The Descent as many here seem to have done, but instead an enjoyable adventure flick. I would not recommend this to anyone who dislikes gore, as there are a few scenes that are high octane nightmare fuel.
