boring

Rating: 3/10 (30 August 2014)

Boring, improbable with tedious fight scenes, and holes in the plot line big enough to drive the "L" through. The whole thing reminds of me of The Hunger Games and Jennifer Lawrence without the fun aspect. Teo is hot though and the scenery is all CGI which is pretty much standard these days.
Do you ever ask yourself why the future is so bleak and gray? And where's all of the cool technology? Sure there's better monitoring of people via video cameras and tracking devices but people's homes are a throwback to the 1800's without the Victorian flair. Come on even the future cars are just some old Buick with updated headlights and tail lights. Here these "kids" go through some kind of basic training that looks like the barracks of the old USSR without the warmth or any signs of the future. Totally unrealistic even given global warming or a possible future war. I'm glad I did spend money to see this in a theater.
