The Hyperions is a family dramedy with a superhero background. Cary Elwes is good and there are a few funny moments, but I wasn't really moved by the main point or emotional moments of the film.
You just don't get to know the characters enough to really feel anything and the most pivotal moment and conversation between the Professor and his estranged daughter all happens through facial expressions. Ok, we get that her power is reading minds but you decided to keep the audience guessing what he told her other than saying 'I love you'? I think the movie is filmed in a creative way that reminds me of Wes Anderson, but the script is lacking in cohesiveness and interesting characters other than the Professor which I feel is owed more to Cary Elwes talent than the script.
I'm a subscriber to the Daily Wire and really respect what they are doing by trying to make great movies without a woke agenda. However, it would be a lie to say any of them so far have been more than average.

Plot summary
In 1960, Professor Ruckus Mandulbaum invented the Titan badge - a device that enables humans to have a particular super power. He took in three down-on-their-luck youths, creating an unusual family of superheroes and they quickly rose to fame and prestige. Over time, however, the commercial family fractured and the Professor replaced the team with a new set of super hero teens. Cut to 1979 when two of the original superheroes are all grown up and wanting their Titan badges back, even if it means robbing the Professor's museum and taking a few hostages accidentally.

Starts off solid, but kind of goes off the rails at the end.
It's okay, but wouldn't watch again.
The acting and props were fine for the budget available. The problem in the movie is it really seemed unsure of what it wanted to be. One moment the movie would feel like it wanted to be a comedy, which is where it was the best. The problem is it would suddenly go from a comedy to a family drama. Which can work but the character me needed to be better developed which the movie did not have time to do.
It felt like there was a much larger story to tell, but they did not have the time or budget to tell it. So it is not a bad movie to watch, but I would not recommend this as a feature to subscribe to the daily wire and watch.
The trailer fooled me. Avoiding all future films from this studio.
Boring and low budget. Worst of all, it is an action-less superhero movie; so it is basically pointless. The trailer was clickbait. The story doesn't work well because it is super basic. Avoid this j unk trash.
