A movie that offers little to others than its target audience

Rating: 5/10 (28 February 2015)

For a movie that celebrates critical thinking, it does not really allow much of it while watching. The futuristic dystopian setting is hard to accept, and even if you do, it's difficult to understand the motivations of many of the characters in it.
It is similar to many other "young adult" movies, and it probably hits its target audience better than it hits me. But, allowing for some plot holes and similar, I wish the setting had been more interesting and understandable. Maybe this will be more in focus in the later movies? Why the society looks like it does? It is never really awful, though. If you manage to go along with the premise, the movie is easy to swallow. Perhaps a bit too long, but mostly the movie kept the story going throughout.
