The Hyperions - 3/5

This movie is a quirky indie super hero film that comes through with a lot of heart in the end. It’s consistently chuckle-funny, never reaching the hilarity to which it seems to aspire. It does a good job working around its tiny budget, though some of the seams show in the finished product. There’s a heavy layer of style that masks many budget restraints, and how that style strikes you will largely determine your mileage with this film.

Closest comparison: It’s like Umbrella Academy directed by Wes Anderson.

Setting: Super Hero
Plot: Family Drama
Tone: Indie Comedy
