This different story tells of new and exciting events involving an extraordinary girl. That story begins with a senior high school student, Alex Laine. Facing Alex encounters with mysterious lights appear abruptly which may seem strange and mysterious. That story turns out, as Alex quickly develops dangerous and miraculous abilities. After a short time, these abilities turn to her childhood friend Shawn Terrell, and both may have many exciting events. The authorities then target them and chase them as officials try to discover the hidden truth.

Pellerin and Scott are such deeply compelling performers that you are likely to forgive the familiarity of the lovers-on-the-run, first-contact narratives.
Lacking the flash of big-budget blockbusters or the originality of a uniquely imagined world instead leaves First Light trying to make the best of overly familiar sci-fi themes.
The actors, a pronounced sense of setting, and Stone's impressive style results in a film that's more memorable than most cynically tossed off young-adult cash grabs.
"First Light" doesn't invent anything new, per se, but somehow, in splicing elements from other movies, it fails to achieve the emotional core of its own formula.
