Caution: This Might Contain Spoilers!

This film is based off the Marvel comic's character from a superteam, with the same name. This is also a remake of the previous Fantastic Four film. Reed Richards spends his life working on a teleporter device to discover a new world. After it works, Richards, Ben Grimm, Victor Doom, and Johnny Storm secretly use it. They each, along with Sue Storm, mutate and generate a new ability.
This film was directed by Josh Trank. Okay, this film was worse than the previous take on this franchise. This film's story only takes small elements from the original source material, and forces them to work. For some strange reason, a group of young teenagers were pulled into being scientists. The adoption element makes the least amount of sense. In many ways, it appears that this film attempts to take various cliches from popular superhero films and forces them to work together. It also felt like this story didn't have a focused emotion. It attempted to be dark and comedic at the same time. However, the computer animation worked well for this film. The backdrop for the alien planet was interesting to look at. There might be a sequel with the same cast to maintain company rights, but it is questionable. The lifeless acting that comes from the main cast only further hurts this film. Miles Teller played the role of Reed Richards. His very lifeless acting truly ruined the film. It hurt more, because he was the central character. Toby Kebbell played the role of Victor Von Doom. It is unfortunate that his mutated form was uninteresting. His general performance was also lackluster. Michael B. Jordan played the role of Johnny Storm. He had the most life of the entire cast, but not enough. Kate Mara played the role of Sue Storm. She was great for supporting Teller and Kebbell, and not much else. Jamie Bell played the role of Ben Grimm/The Thing. The animation for his character was great. He also brought some life to the film, but was hardly on screen.
I give this film 1 out of 5 stars! It was a very lackluster film that felt uninspiring.
This film can be seen on DVD.
