The most egregious frustration is that Boone renders his teen protagonists as absolute morons. It takes them nearly the entire movie to figure out what the audience grasps within the first ten minutes; the facility is terrible news, and the fear-induced specters haunting them result from Dani’s power. Fans of the X-Men comics will want to tear their hair out when they see “Essex Corporation” in Dr. Reyes’ computer correspondence. Watching them sleepwalk through the empty halls of a high-tech facility, so thoroughly oblivious to anything outside of their petty infighting or posturing, might be very appropriately adolescent. Still, it doesn’t make for an engaging watch in a superhero movie.
