Watch Odd Thomas For Free

Good movie but grossly overrated

Fantastic!

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film is indeed very unique in its presentation and telling of the story. The camerawork is incredible, as well as the visual effects. The film blends humor and suspense seamlessly without being slapstick or gory. Anton Yelchin is perfectly cast as Odd Thomas and the chemistry between him and Addison Timlin is wonderful! The acting and the dialogue were great, and convincing. The film had some real funny moments, and also some genuinely nail biting moments, and also disturbing at times. The overall theme of Odd Thomas trying to solve a mystery in order to avoid a disaster in itself was quite tense. The final moments was heart wrenching - sadness and happiness entwined. This is an instant favorite.

This movie is terrible, predictable, played out, my biggest issue is none of the characters act like real people, the dialogue is totally unbelievable. It's really not very hard to predict what'll happen next, the only reason I think people 'like' the movie so much is because it's different, he'll Odd is in the movie title. It's like with other cult following movies that use dark horror as a vehicle to propel the film such as Donnie Dario (another crappy overrated movie) people latch onto it to seem edgy or moody. Crappy movie, maybe the books are better.

Not quite the ghost whisperer, our hero fights some odd vilains with fist and bullets. I think ghost whisperer (TV series) had a much better sensitivity and intelligence. Here they created another kind of evil that is too distracting and does not seem to be useful at anything other than a plot enhancer. The new evil does not make sense. Once again, the TV series was much more sensible. Still the film can keep us occupied. A bit sad that our hero died so young. Wondering if there is a link with this murderous film.

A minor movie to be sure, but with good production and acting value. Fun to watch. Did anyone else notice the truly bizarre scene where Anton is running a chase through an alley and a Jeep backs into and almost crushes him? Does anyone else find this creepily prophetic???? I found this disturbing, yet went on to appreciate the fact that this young actor showed the chops, even in this good but minor film, to have become a major film actor, even beyond the Star Trek films.
