Maybe if you read the books?

Rating: 5/10 (13 May 2014)

I wasn't aware that this movie was based on a book; just was in the mood to go to some movie. When what felt like the 'intro' was dragging on for over an hour, I googled whether there were follow-ups to come. Unfortunately, yes.
The story follows this girl who lives in a strange futuristic society, in which people have to enter one of five factions. Which one is determined by character. This faction system, it is mentioned, is essential in keeping the peace after the last global war. It is not clear, however, how this faction system contributes to peace. It seems to me that it causes competitive behaviour between factions, but maybe the next movie explains how it works. Well now, to prevent spoilers, the girl experiences the beginning part of an adventure. It is actually quite a predictable movie.
I did not like it very much, but I presume I am not in the intended audience group and I didn't read the novels either. I rate it five stars because some parts of the story made sense, I did not feel offended by it and the (albeit quite anticlimactic) suspense of and questions about the history of the world war that caused the demise of civilization.
Reminded me of the hunger games: based on books, with a female lead role, and a strange society with questionable behaviour. Also, I did not like that movie very much either.
