(I don't think I actually spoil anything but I always mark it that way)
First off: it's an independent film so that's the vein it should be taken in. Comparing it to A-list and/or big budget films such as "X-Men" and "The Breakfast Club" is nonsensical. Does it have similarities to the two? Sure but so would any other Superhero fanfare or film/TV that would have students in detention.
The story: some big shot guy named Kaeluss comes to the school. Some troublemaker teens are placed in detention to not cause any trouble for the visit. Apparently Kaeluss has an evil agenda of consuming the powers of all in attendance and the Superhero slacks in detention are going to save the day but before they can do that first they have to get along with each other.
The dialogue is filled in cliché (to the extreme) phrases that no one uses anymore; or, at the least: not all bundled all into one film in such short intervals. I'm thinking this is pointed at preteens maybe. Otherwise it's mindboggling to think anyone older would be into the dialogue though, and no offense intended, this was made in Canada and my experience of their shows, it's right on par. Kind of wonder if they actually speak in cliché all the time there. Has to come from somewhere, right?
The acting starts off fine in the beginning but with the cliché dialogue it just gets worse and worse as it goes on. The overall story isn't too bad but it does get grating from the dialogue. I found it ironic that the Principal's lines were less cliché than the rest, and his acting wasn't too bad. The reason why I find it ironic is because the guy who plays him wrote the story/dialogue.
There were some mildly humorous parts throughout but no real laugh out loud scenes, in my opinion. There is the in between moments where they try to have the teens actually think and react (in a more adult and/or mature manner) to the situations they're in but they are fleeting, at best. Then you have fight scenes where after someone does something the opposition just stands there watching them as they slowly escape. And it happened a lot throughout the fight scenes. The choreography was lacking. I guess they didn't have a choreographer for those scenes.
The CGI/special effects were okay. Some were top notch, others, not so much. It is a watchable film as long as you're doing something else while watching it; like writing a review. Overall, it's okay. It's not the worst out there: trust me: there are far worse things to watch out there.
