I think that was the setup to the trap
I feel like this video doesn't just explaining the abandoned sequel for push... but it's for all the movie sequel ideas that been abandoned...
In 2009 I was 16, and my family went to the movies every weekend-- that's probably why we ended up seeing Push, because after a while, we 'd start running out of movies to see at the theatres! Either that, or we ended up renting it... I fell in love with this movie and I remember that my main reason for watching it again and again when we finally ended up purchasing it was the father/daughter relationship, the cool powers, and definitely where it was set. It was so cool seeing this other place that i'd never seen before, and the colors are just so vivid in this movie too... I wish more people could appreciate this movie!
One of the best movies in my book. Remember watching this in theaters during my high school days

i love this movie
I still want a sequel
Sending a message out to the universe to get the original cast back and give us a sequel 😭 Logistically it wouldn’t make sense to continue the last story of trying to save Cassies mom, as it’s been years since Dakota and Chris were on screen together-and why would it take that long for them to save her. But I imagine Cassie could come back into Nicks life for another decades long mission she’s been watching.
Push is kinda like a more adult version of Darkest Minds. Which is funny, because they’re both movies with good concepts, that weren’t as good as they could have been, so then they bombed, and we’ll probably never see a sequel for either.
I remember when this movie came out I personally believe a lot of the problem with the promotion and marketing of this film. But to be honest this is surprisingly good film

Nah this movie was amazing
Hidden Gem; Couldn't put it any better.
Let's not forget that Jumper was coming out either right before or right after the release of Push with a bigger actor recognition in the cast (Samuel L Jackson/ Christian Haydenson) who had both been in the prequels before Push and whose ads were already drawing in a lot of people ready to see it when it released. Push wasn't even on the radar for most. Which sucks because everyone remembers Jumper, and Push was far superior in every way

Not just that, TAKEN, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, Gran Torino, Slumdog Millionaire, Twilight, Yes Man and Coraline all came out within 1-2 weeks of PUSH.
I love this movie so much, I'm glad people appreciate it!
Great film. Favorite parts: bleeders in the fish market, Kira's escape from the agents, Cassie begging Carver to not hurt herself (broke my heart).
Push is great! It's the only one of those 2009 movies I saw

Actually I saw Inglorious Basterds it was ok. I'm a huge X-Men fan and I love any setting that is reminiscent.
push and chronicle are the best super power films i've ever seen
I think it is a good idea but the execution wasn’t the best. The pacing was a bit off. The screamers also didn’t fit well in my opinion because screaming isn’t a psychic power and the way it all worked didn’t make sense. I did like the movie when I was younger though.
I loved this movie, the ameturistic feel to it gave it a sense that it could be a real thing
this was a fever dream of a movie. I remember watching this like 5-10 years ago and it seemed like no one I knew saw it lmao
I've watched this Movie when I was like 12 on free TV, always thought it was a fever dream, none the less it greatly inspired me when it came to making my own stories in terms of structure, settings and especially characters. Watched it today for the first time beginning to end without breaks since I was 12, and I must say, that it is probably one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.
yea its sad that this movie never got a sequel but great video also its nice to know that there are prequel comics to it
one of my favorite movies. I like the inside of the buildings in Hong Kong
Got this on recommendation

Thank you for making this video I grew up with this movie as a kid really sad to see how it didn't do as good unfortunately
I loved Push and Jumper these two movies laid the groundwork for the Tomorrow People tv series which probably lead to the Arrow Verse or possibly suffered from it.

Tomorrow People premiered a whole year AFTER Arrow. It was a show trying to capitalize on the popularity of superhero content at the time (by that point the MCU was in full swing, Berlanti had had success with season one of Arrow and was a few weeks away from introducing The Flash in season 2 when Tomorrow People premiered, and WB had released Man of Steel and kickstarted the DCEU).
original script superpower movies are gems. this movie and chronicle are top tier
Well explained. I really love the movie and was hoping for part 2. Unfortunately, it's impossible to happen
This movie was FIRE. I was so disappointed we never got part2
One thing you might consider on what was occuring around the time. 2008 crash, war, turmoil. Times like this people want escape. Push is awesome but not escape.
I remember this movie I watched it and I enjoyed it greatly However I forgot the name of the movie for ages, I really wanted to watch it again and now suddenly I saw it on Netflix again
the fist tank scene where everything just pops like an tomatoe
Great movie.
We need series for this to explore all the potential
They dont make 2000s movies like this anymore

Straight up
The kiss scene in this movie is one of my all time favorites lmaooo
I agree with most of what you said. I def agree it prob would’ve done way better if it was released now. There’s a movie called Code 8 that came out recently, it has similar concepts of powers and ended being pretty good imo.
Great video and music Oh my goodness dude yeah it's sad that the movie faild to attack the audience they wanted
The story and concept were good. They just never finished it. The parents being uber powerful which is why they died off. Then the package they wanted i think that makes em more powerful. Then the ending.. The left you wanting more why letting you down for its potential
I love this movie. Great concept, great action. It was ahead of it's time.
Pushers made me so scared
This movie literally made me decide to go to film school, beautiful film that never gets its due
Ok that's cool and all but don't talk like that about Coraline, it's actually very good and is made by the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas (who is NOT tim burton).
I remember that with Dokota fanning right?

Jumper
probably would do better if it was released on netflix
Please full movie
Honestly you have really great point but you also have to remember the year before. Movies like wanted and jumper made this movie hard to remember. They have the same concept people with abilities and those abilities can come in a range. And they all felt very similar. Most action movies from the early 2000s feel this way so it kinda all blends in people memories
Amazing anaslysis dude
😂Fanning's coraline outselling her other movie 🤣 I swear the cast in it was no joke, even for it's time. 🔥 It's not that it felt amateur but rather that's what they were going for in terms of actual shooting technique. Yeah some tropes were mid but imo even then they still worked. There was something in its filming that kinda resembled Tony scott's chaotic style work and you can see it with pelham 123 which came out at a similar time. Something funny is I somehow remember this coming out earlier than 2009. I think trailers started popping up in one of those saw movies from back in the day i bought on dvd, that or the watchmen dvd that i still own. whatever the case I myself loved it.✨
I watched this multiple times! It was so good. I had a huge crush of Chris Evans because of this and the Not Another Teen Movie. Before he became a mainstream actor.
In the Super Hero heip could have been better
even low views this video was a masterpiece, I think in the future somebodies gonna understand buddy, because nothing has the meaning of old times anymore, and this movie has an action-adventure component of the old days.
INTeresting
It was so good!
I forgot about the comics from DC maybe that's why sequel never came cause WB told summit hell nooo 😂
Okay that makes more sense
I loved this movie! Just wish they had a more coherent execution.
Push, Jumper and I Am Number 4 are great underrated movies.
What happened to Will Smith’s Hancock 2 & Hayden Christensens Jumper 2? I subscribed so I can see that video
Correct me if I am wrong but I don’t believe Chris Evans at the time had the pull that he does now all I could remember him for was not another teenage movie which was a spoof comedy he did not have the box office draw like he does now. I’m sure this role probably definitely help him align with marvel prospects. It sucks cause the movie is one of my favs but like you said bad marketing and the times it was released wasn’t the best. Of course the plot was kind of average but the powers were interesting the twist in the end was cool too. I think if they had a sequel or series even they could flush out some of those more grey areas I think it could’ve been like the matrix with more development and action sequences
The poster don’t have a well known face simple
LOVED Push, don't know why it got so much hate. I always considered it to be "the martial arts film" among super-hero movies, which are typically more character focused. I thought it was so interesting, how they balanced the powers against one another. There's a great anime series that worked a very similar concept, ... Can't remember the name... I also liked Jumper, which was similarly built, though just focused on one guy. I thought they should be in the same universe.
This movie was really good
i oveddddddd this movie so much
I agree. The concept was incredible, the execution was not. The cinematography, visual effects and concept ideas were great, but the story and pacing felt incoherent, disjointed and choppy. It starts out pretty good but ultimately falls flat. The film had potential, it could have been better. There's not much character development. I just felt disappointed... Nick's telekinetic abilities could have made him invincible, hard to catch, yet, he was physically assaulted and left for dead a couple of times... I wanted to like this movie more but, just felt it was a let down

You have to remember that he’s being sought after by Division. He would avoid trying to use his powers if it meant he was going to get killed like his dad. I always saw it in the light. Throughout the movie, he’s learning in real time how his abilities work.
Why diddn't they created push 2 already?
forgot the title of this movie and i taught code 8 II in netflix was the sequel of this movie LOL (ahh i remember watching this when i was a kid, forgot the details but im sure part 1 was awesome, then while watching begins to realize code 8 II is different *coughs* garbage)
I believe its failure happened because of 4 reasons. What a shame... It was an enjoying movie if you ask me. - Everyone knows that before 2008 - 2009 most of superhero movies were like meh until MCU Arrived. - The movie did not have recognized enough stars in order to hook people. Lets face it Chirs Evans was not that famous until His role s Cap. I can recall his name from some good movies like Cellular (2004) and The F4 but not enough (Specially the last one). Sometimes there are exceptions but you know.... - Maybe you are right about releasing this movie in a wrong era. If this would have been premiered around 2016 until present could work better with Evans being a star already. - it would have gone better as Tv Series instead like HEROES.
Coraline is not a kids movie.
Wrong each of these scenes had convenice and consequence at the same time With a remark to the parallel or paralleled with humour Which is so not amateur The I know a guy scene came with more chemistry with party not one person and the others left out The power and the weakness explained and he's linked to another The convience is also explainable as there's watchers who waited planned and plotted for moments to move and cassie forces Chris Evans character to move he's been on the run a long time to survive you lean on people where people have powers you'd observe u learn u adapt in the systems these are The fbi guy shows up and gets rinsed line by line Usually a witness protection scene in gangsta films it's a stare down THIS one is tense and comedic as well as informative to the plot Which is great writing

Confronting the enemy recklessly like this Isn't usually how it goes they are never usually solo They are never usually the weakest of their type And the bad guy stays composed and unthreatened even tells his dude sit back down What your plan And it's actually in this confrontation he's learning more about his power from a guy whose his type of power which seems to be one of the rarer ones and developes in power alongside his characters growth from running to willing to confront and make a difference It's like alcoholism first step to being powerful over it u gotta admit u got a problem and take the first step that you can make THIS is Thee SHONEN anime aspect of writing and the point of a power system as the character grows so does the power but only as much as the depth of the character Naruto over comes hate takes a drastic transformation into a form of light Bleach ichigo goes psycho path to demon to equilibrium HXH gon is said to have potential has a ton of heart and nothing seems to break him but he holds rage and anger into a void and let's it all out to transform into an adult showing he's unlocked all of his potential once he's understood his full range of emotions depth and reasoning You can't fault these scenes in what they do and represent just cause other films have similar formula And the film goes into a heist story from I know a guy slowly back into the action film it was designed to be and everything has depth and a gotchya moment really well and all these powers and nature's of the characters are something else and so diverse and good gritty and captures an essence of the streets they walk in from underworld to top brass it's brilliant

Did you just call Coraline a stupid kids movie?
Bruh ,Coraline ain't a stupid kids movie, Its an actual horror masterpiece ,watch it before you say something like that....
Okay, Push is great. But the shade thrown at the absolute MASTERPIECE that is Coraline is CRIMINAL Especially weird coming from this channel because Coraline was horrifying for a kids movie with a genuinely disturbing but amazing plot
"Stupid kids movie" when Coraline is better than Push lol
I loved the plot, the world, the characters. Not so much dakota fanning and the way Nick was aaround her. I grow up watching up town girls and many othwr movies. Can say shes part of my gay awakening but with her and Nick in the movie it just always made me feel like some untones in there. But man I need video essays of this movie. Just saw it on yesterday and got to watch it again. Through my favorites part would be when dakota fanning's character walks into the back room with the tiger and comes face to face with her death only to be safed by her mom. (In a way. The wiper could have been told by nick but i like to think her mom saw it coming and sent the wiper to safe her.)
The fact that you asked for a sequel for one of the worst superhero movies out there and literally called Coraline "some stupid kid's movie" make you wrong from the getgo

Not quite and metahumans in DC comics also have superpowers and there's no mansion or professor Xavier so no.
It was not a bit better people didn't talk about push as much as others due to expectation Inglorious bastards was not funny Avatar was long dull and slow and although beautiful had no substance to it different from anything else but it had a sound track that went huge with its imagery in the video so u think it's great as hell before u see it Hangover DULL only good thing in that movie was the Asian getting a career And Paul blart was a kids film that was funny once or twice but gags don't last PUSH IS A BETTER FILM FOR ORIGINALTY DELIVERING ACTING GRIT HUMOUR TENSION ACTION HEIST SUPERPOWERS THAT MOST OF WOULD SEEM LIKE A NEXT STEP FOR HUMANS WHEN JUST THINKING OF ONE ASPECT ESP OR ANOTHER BEING GENETICS FOR BLEEDERS A BLEND BETWEEN THE TWO WOULD BE STITCHERS AND BLEEDERS the rest is on the ESP side watchers pushers and movers But they do not have the full range of the aspect rather they are signature to them and their blood line Shadowers being like a negative to those aspects Every line by Chris Evans is great same with the girl It works well u see a plan Conveyed don't hear or know the plan and neither does anyone till everyone does However if u did pay attention u can see the foreshadow coming forward from cassie? I think she's the blonde one I am jumpong a bit back THIS film had massive potential and delivered for a one shot and left us wanting more Plus side they been on the run for almost 20 years And there's really good talent now everywhere And a jumper cross over could be possible just have the jumper jump universe why not make it a fuckin accident and he can't go back and he isn't chased by them anymore he's chased by these guys instead and cassie wanna help him He can't jump anywhere he ain't been before or can't see and this entire place is different and unfamiliar toning down his ability at the starting part of the film Then kill him Y not we were meant to get a sequel to that too Look I'm not a film writer but damn just make it happen
I hate avatar and hangover
I fer one am glad there’s no “push 2” this movie was lame af.
