Mostly works, despite some occasionally thudding B-movie dialogue.

If the Baker boys truly were fabulous, they'd have had the guts to go all the way and earn an R rating.

Even for the realm of YA sci-fi, the boy-befriends-a-gun storyline of Kin is pretty messed up.

The script is so utterly pointless and offers little to no probative value other than to set up a franchise without a care or a thought into the current movie they were making.
