Boring predictable nonsense

Rating: 1/10 (11 January 2020)

This movie was torture to watch. This teenage dystopian plot have been done before and better. The pacing is too slow and there's too much silly exposition and most of the run time is spent watching kids doing training. The acting is poor, the script is weak and the plot is nonsensical. I don't even remember the plot anymore. Plus there's hardly any action and the few fight scenes are boring. I certainly had no interest in the sequels after sitting through this. I would give this a pass. There are much better movies in a similar vein like the Maze Runner series which is much more interesting with a better story and much more action and mystery. The main problem with this movie is the weak story and slow pacing where too much of its runtime is wasted on training which adds no suspense and no story but also the fights lack excitement. I think this was trying to be the new Hunger Games which is better IMO but I didn't particularly enjoy that either though I've only seen the second chapter.
