The Abnormals

About This Movie

So, The Abnormals has this retro comic book vibe that really nails that nostalgic feel. It follows this quirky trio of superheroes: Astroknight, Cryptid Kid, and Showstopper, who are on a mission to save the world from some rather cliché evil, but it’s done with a charm that feels refreshing. The pacing is a little erratic at times, bouncing between exhilarating action sequences and slower character moments. The practical effects have a raw, DIY quality that pays homage to classic comics, which I think is pretty neat. Performances are a mixed bag, but the chemistry among the trio keeps it lively. It’s not groundbreaking, but it definitely brings back a certain energy from the comic book era that some collectors might appreciate.
