Code 8 is better than a mere calling-card film, though one senses a desire to check all the boxes of fan expectation and professional packaging rated higher than the kinds of personal expression that might have lent it a more memorable idiosyncrasy. Read full review

The ideas outpace the action in a movie that’s clearly been made with passion and intelligence, but without the kind of zip that this kind of story demands. Read full review

Though this clearly isn't meant to be a lighthearted story, a glimmer of wit here and there would've helped keep viewers engaged in the action and endeared us to a cast that is competent but hardly charismatic. Read full review

For a $2m budget it looks amazing, good script and well acted. I guess it was a crowd funded movie, never heard of that before.

It's OK I guess. It's not anything that needs to be seen. At least the lead actor puts in a better performance than when he was on Tomorrow People. If you are looking for a superhero movie then this really isn't it. It's something of a re-used story and not very original. Powers are onlyIt's OK I guess. It's not anything that needs to be seen.

It's something of a re-used story and not very original. Powers are only secondary to the story. It's like having a soda and you don't want another drink but you are still thirsty afterwards. Wanted to rate this as a 5 but maybe it's a low budget and somewhat dull 6 instead ? That's generous.… Expand

Its influences are predominantly visible but never problematic. The last thing this film could claim was originality but at least it tries to do things well and in these kind of circumstances is welcome.

The film made me remember the Fox series Gifted. I mention it to give you a little idea of the tone, or watch the short film of the same name, which was actually pretty good.

Sometimes less is more and this film is a great example of that.… Expand

Code 8 is an average movie with a predictable plot, very b - tv pilot vibe to it. Some interesting concepts in here but nothing surprising. Overall this movie has alot of heart and was an entertaining watch. Fun to watch the ammell brothers acting together!

With decades of delay on Marvel and on the cinematographic transpositions, a film about the mutants necessary for those who suffer from a Psyke withdrawal crisis.
