An alien with superpowers grows up on Earth while hiding from a deadly intergalactic enemy, in DJ Caruso's dull hybrid of Twilight and Smallville. Insipid teen Alex Pettyfer is Number Four, one of nine survivors from the Planet Lorien avoiding gill-faced adversaries the Mogadorians. Relocated to Ohio, the boy is told to stay under the radar by guardian Timothy Olyphant, but the usual high-school dramas - romancing the wrong girl (Glee star Dianna Agron) and bullying - make that impossible. Soon Number Four's newly discovered abilities are posted on the web and the Mogadorians close in on the unsuspecting small town. Coarsely adapted from the young adult novel, this has an inoffensive TV feel, and its uninspired number is up way before the finale erupts in stale CGI fireworks.

A teenage fugitive with an incredible secret races to stay one step ahead of the mysterious forces seeking destroy him in this sci-fi action thriller. With three dead and one on the run, the race to find the elusive Number Four begins. Outwardly normal teen John Smith never gets too comfortable in the same identity, and along with his guardian, Henri, he is constantly moving from town to town. With each passing day, John gains a stronger grasp on his extraordinary new powers, and his bond to the beings that share his fantastic fate grows stronger.
