Every once in a while there are movies that seem to pop up
around every corner, and you cannot rid yourself of them until you watch them.
This week I experienced one of those movies, Odd Thomas. Now after some
thought, here is the review.
Plot/ In a California desert town, a short-order cook with
clairvoyant abilities encounters a mysterious man with a link to dark,
threatening forces.
Having never read any of the Odd Thomas books, I have no
idea whether or not the adaptation stayed true to the book. Thus, I am basing
this review on what came across my screen. With that in mind, there was an
entertaining factor to this film, although there was definitely a feeling that
something was missing. Sure, the characters were interesting and there were
some decent effects (especially for CGI), but there was definitely something
holding it back from reaching its full potential. That could be a lack of
character development, uneven acting, or some plot holes that opened because of
my lack of knowledge on the source material. In the end, this movie was at
least entertaining. While it was far from perfect, it least it had enough to
keep my attention.
