Featured reviews
The book is probably better. This YA story is derivative and generic, and it manages to telegraph who the baddie is much earlier than it means to. Amandla Stenberg is pretty good as star Ruby (she also played Rue in the Hunger Games), but the movie feels more like a cheapie you'd find on ABC Family Channel.
I am not sure why people are giving 1 to this film, there are plenty films deserve a 1 than this one. The trailer is pretty in line with the film. Believable characters and the actors gave a pretty good performances. Overall I enjoyed it very much. If you like hunger games, this is similar. I would definitely recommend this film to others! I hope there are sequels coming!
But overall I enjoyed it!
They took some liberties with some casting choices. Never really did introduce Sam at all, which was disappointing. Took some liberties with the storyline, but overall, I think it was worth watching. Plus, I think they can only get better at these movies with the next three in the series!
Even though the movie may be fast paced, and may leave out parts that were in the book... it is very interesting and the characters and acting really save the show here.
Yes, the relationships weren't fully developed like in the novel , but it's hard to do that in an hour and a half long movie. I think Harris, Amandla, Skylan, and Miya really stoke the show here.
The movie FORSURE isn't oscar award winning but the amazing feelings I got while watching made up for that! Give the movie a chance and don't listen to the Uber negative reviews! Give the movie a chance because if you do, I can guarantee you will enjoy it(:

I mean, no, it doesn't really bring anything new to the table. But by itself, it's a pretty decent movie with nice special effects and a beautiful score by Benjamin Wallfisch

- GoofsIt's explained that all adults moved to the big cities. And really, the places the kids go are so deserted they can roam about freely in broadest daylight without keeping guard (which is why they're surprised by a bounty hunter - twice). Yet Ruby's parents still live in the same house.
