Decent sci-fi flick for chicks

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2014)

This is yet another soft sci-fi movie for girls. However, I rather enjoyed it and think it's a decent film that anyone can enjoy.
The post-apocalyptic story with its social and psychological angles was interesting, although far from gritty or realistic.
I found the movie strangely moving on occasion although I'd be hard pressed to explain way. I suppose I identified with the main character.
I enjoyed the eye candy, of course, especially Theo James and Jai Courtney.
The bad points: The whole premise is artificial and seriously unrealistic and fuzzy on the details. I don't want to list the details but there are many. At times the movie becomes a little too melodramatic. Shailene Woodley was OK in her role but in real life she'd never survive. I think she was miscast.
If you're like me, you'll spend a few edgy moments getting past that and if you're lucky you'll be able to enjoy the movie for what it is.
The second half of the movie gets bogged down and has too many shootout and kung-fu scenes for my liking. It's worth about 7.5 but I'll round it up.
