Dakota Skye Movie Review

I have just finished watching the film Dakota Skye. I was expecting to be bored out of my wits. But since I have downloaded the darn thing, I figured what the heck.

Dakota Skye is a superhero. No, she does not really fly like Superman or claw through stuffs like Wolverine. She can’t control the weather or turn people into blocks of ice. What she can do, however, is see the truth. Of course, you’ll see the truth too. It’s in subtitles!

Dakota Skye has some issues about the fact that people around her lie a lot. Of course, she lies too. She has the usual teenager angst. She has the usual meathead for a boyfriend and friends who constantly nag her about taking the SATs. Pretty boring, huh? I thought so too. But the thing is, I watched the darn thing. It had me hooked from start to finish. I guess it helps that her nemesis, Jonah, is a complete hottie.

Jonah never lies Or perhaps he does. Maybe he is immune to Dakota’s superpowers. There lies Dakota’s dilemma. Is he telling the truth or not? Does he really love her or not?

You’d probably read online how much this movie sucks, but to me this is a winner. Hell! It won the Best Screenplay Award at the Phoenix Film Festival 2008. It’s fresh and it certainly offers a new twist to superhero movies. And to think this is an indie film, low budget and was only shot for 20 days!

If you could spare the bandwidth, you should definitely check it out!
