Wasn't that impressed! 4/10

Rating: 4/10 (17 August 2014)

Review: Man, this film is way to long and I wasn't that impressed with the storyline or the whole concept. The director wasted so much time on the training and I expected the main character to be something special but she just turned out to be like the other candidates. Anyway, the acting wasn't anything special but it was good to see Kate Winslet play a baddie for once. The director gave the movie a big build at the beginning but by the end, it was all a bit pointless. It just seemed a bit over complicated and after a while it seemed to drag and become uninteresting. The 5 different factions didn't really come into play because the director concentrated on the girl keeping her secret and falling in love with the trainer. Maybe the whole story will unfold in the sequel which is bound to come out soon, but I won't be rushing to see it. Disappointing!
Round-Up: This movie did get a big distribution and it looked good in the adverts which is why it made so much money. After watching the movie the film does seem like there is a loads of information missing, but I wasn't that bothered to be honest. The love story was really predictable and the action scenes wasn't that realistic. On the plus side, there is a deep moral to the story about equality and everyone becoming one but apart from that, the director really does need to use the profit to make a better sequel because the concept needs a lot of work.
Budget: $85million Worldwide Gross: $275million
I recommend this movie to people who are into there futuristic, sci-fi adventure movies about 5 different factions, which have been separate by personality type, and 1 girl making the decision of were she belongs. 4/10
