Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
WhenAmyMetSalad How does logan paul ruin everything he touches? this is as bad as that Boo madea movie, but at least madea tries to be annoying for the laughs. Logan is just annoying when hes standing there breathing in this movie. plotholes galore i wont spoil anything if you want to feel like pulling out your hair out of stress just watch this movie. only positive reviews are from his fans from youtube and he somehow has over a million of those.
neil-43355 I was very sceptical about seeing this when I realised it was a YouTube production, I should really learn to trust my instincts a bit more. I was bored and gave it a go anyway, its full of plot holes, some really bad acting and has some ridiculous characters - its boring, clichéd and has been done (a lot better) many times before - if you have more than half a brain in your head or are older than 15 then give this one a swerve.
henly-48940 If you want to watch a film that portrays emotion so well and tension then this is your film. In my opinion, this is one of the best films I have ever watched and I have almost watched all of Amazon Prime and Netflix. The film contains some good characters and as you have probably gathered from the trailer this is a very strong plot as well as containing some very good songs
Some dude I'll make this short and sweet. This movie is a rip-off of the Hunger Games. Not worth your time or money unless you want to see how not to make a movie. This movie was just, so... boring. I stopped paying attention after a while. I'll admit it's not the worst I've ever seen, but nothing about it is particularly good. It's generic, full of clichés, and it wastes an opportunity to make a good movie based on the promising concept. The solution to overpopulation in the future is what this movie is based around, and because that will soon become a really pressing issue all across the world, this movie had the chance to do something special. However, it didn't. I'm quite disappointed, honestly. Every other scene was a drag because I was rolling my eyes so much. I didn't come to watch cheap teen "romance", or a pure evil villain with no real motive, or even the twist ending. This movie is full of illogical events, people, and actions. One of the most infuriating things was the way this society went about population control. I'm sure the creators were trying to be unique, but this method doesn't make as much sense as others. In this future, families aren't limited to just one child, fatally sick people still get health care, but school kids have to take a test that the punishment for failing is dying? What? Weeding out the weak and stupid I get, but the fact that this was the only procedure didn't make sense. The system itself also seems to be pretty badly executed, at least in Austin, Texas.I wanted to see the protags come up with a way to fix the broken system, but by the end nothing actually changed. Maybe they were banking on a sequel, but I hope that I don't see one coming out in the next few years. This movie had it's chance, and it failed to impress a majority of people because it's just not that good. It's just okay.
