What Happened to Push (2009)? 

Reuploaded to correct a small error in editing!

Glad some are still caring about this underrated gem like I do I still dunno why it never got the attention of people at all🙃❤

That extremely powerful Shadow who hid an entire building highlights a Shadow's usefulness 😁

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!

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...

One of the best movies in my book. Remember watching this in theaters during my high school days

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

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.

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.

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

one of my favorite movies. I like the inside of the buildings in Hong Kong

I still want a sequel

I love this movie so much, I'm glad people appreciate it!

Hidden Gem; Couldn't put it any better.

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.

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 and chronicle are the best super power films i've ever seen

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 loved this movie, the ameturistic feel to it gave it a sense that it could be a real thing

Push is great! It's the only one of those 2009 movies I saw

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.

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 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.

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

They dont make 2000s movies like this anymore

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

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.

Got this on recommendation

This movie was FIRE. I was so disappointed we never got part2

I remember as a kid ive watched this multiple times a weak cuz my library of movies was pretty slim at the time. Always had a blast, plot was interesting, effects was good and the world was very believable. Would live some development of this world through some books at least.

Push was awesome. Me and my brother loved it. And still do. Ive seen it like 20 times. I dare say Push is better than 95% of movies that come out today.

the fist tank scene where everything just pops like an tomatoe

I love this movie. Great concept, great action. It was ahead of it's time.

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

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.

If Shadows exist I wonder if there are negative versions of other powers. People who can block pushers or jam movers. Nega-psychics.

Oh man the fact that it got overshadowed by other shows is just sad. There was this animated series called skyland which featured futuristic earth that shattered into floating chunks of livable lands and psychics, and avatar the last air bender just killed off this show. The way they had to put it out of its misery was just bad with its last episode.

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

I like this movie ok (especially when Jumper is also playing) but I think a few other factors come into play. 1) The premise sounds a bit close to the X-Men movies and why would someone waste time with a knock off when they can just watch the 4 existing x-men movies at home 2) With this being Summit Entertainment and they had the first Twilight being a bigger draw with audiences 3) I think another issue was the fact that it introduced too many of these groups all in one movie

3 great movies like so are “push , chronicle , and another which was a teleporting one

I doubt a lot of people care about couple Retreat in same fashion as Avatar, Inglorious Basterds or Zombieland

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.

Push, Jumper and I Am Number 4 are great underrated movies.

We need series for this to explore all the potential

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.

This movie literally made me decide to go to film school, beautiful film that never gets its due

I’m still waiting for the jumper sequel

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

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 loved this movie. Wondering why it wasn't continued....

The kiss scene in this movie is one of my all time favorites lmaooo

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.

Great video and music Oh my goodness dude yeah it's sad that the movie faild to attack the audience they wanted

Great movie.

I loved this movie! Just wish they had a more coherent execution.

I remember when everyone wanted to go see coralline and madea goes to jail 2009 I was 5 and I remember my mom later i came home when coralline came on dvd it had a 3d set when yo can watch it in 3d with 3d glasses at home 2009 had good memories

I forgot about the comics from DC maybe that's why sequel never came cause WB told summit hell nooo 😂

probably would do better if it was released on netflix

😂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.✨

Bruh ,Coraline ain't a stupid kids movie, Its an actual horror masterpiece ,watch it before you say something like that....

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

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

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

This movie was really good

I remember that with Dokota fanning right?

So much wasted potential

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.

Pushers made me so scared

What happened to Will Smith’s Hancock 2 & Hayden Christensens Jumper 2? I subscribed so I can see that video

Okay that makes more sense

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

Amazing anaslysis dude

Why diddn't they created push 2 already?

The magic system is very complicated. There is far to many magic disciplines. They would have been far better off combining a few together. and getting rid of a few of them completely. leave is so there is 3 disciplines. the magic system would basically need to be a book first. the end of the 2000s was definitely a great time for Cinema. with in a few years. superheroes had taken over.

It was so good!

The poster don’t have a well known face simple

In the Super Hero heip could have been better

Please full movie

Can someone explain how did Nick know what to write in the letters? he was not a future teller

I enjoyed the movie too do you think you can make a video about jumper.?

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)

Coraline is not a kids movie.

INTeresting

i oveddddddd this movie so much

"Stupid kids movie" when Coraline is better than Push lol

Did you just call Coraline a stupid kids movie?

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

I liked it more when it was a game psi ops

It's not a superhero film there is no hero's

Too many superpowers, sounds boring, like a teenage script

Isn't it a knock off of xmen! they have all the same powers

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.
