Push (watch the trailer) is basically just like X-Men, except that everyone’s power has to do with mind reading, mind control, moving stuff with their mind, etc.  I’m guessing the climactic battle scene will involve two guys pointing their palms at each other and grimacing real hard.  For some reason, there’s always a strong correlation between the ability to grimace and the strength of one’s mind bullets.  I also like that in every brain superpower movie the characters always make hand signals that correspond to whatever they’re moving with their mind.  You can just imagine the actors showing up to the set on the first day, and the director being like, “Okay, now in this scene, you use your superpowers to pick up this car.”  Then the actor just stands there and squints a little.  “Whoa whoa whoa, you’re moving this car with your mind.  You gotta point your palms at it, or put your fingers up to your temple or something.  Otherwise this is just gonna look ridiculous.”

This is the new trailer for Push, starring Dakota Fanning and Djimon Hounsou.

A riveting action-thriller, Push burrows deep into the deadly world of psychic espionage where artificially enhanced paranormal operatives have the ability to move objects with their minds, see the future, create new realities and kill without ever touching their victims. Against this setting, a young man and a teenage girl take on a clandestine agency in a race against time that will determine the future of civilization.

Translation: People have special powers, the government wants to use them.  Pretty much exactly like Jumper or X-Men or The Fury.  Unless someone explodes from mind bullets in slow motion, I’m just not interested.
