Potter + Twilight + Hunger Games + Harlequin Romance = Vomit

Rating: 4/10 (26 July 2014)

My title summons up my feeling for this movie.
I could tell in the first 15 minutes I was going to hate it. But wife wanted to see it so I had to sit through it, plus I thought "okay maybe somewhere maybe this movie might improve"..it never did.
The worst problem I had with it was it was way too fantasy, unbelievable. Like from the start: So they run along this train..then you see "oh, whew just in time!", yea right!
If you are a person who knows anything about anything you will see there are just to many holes in this. Example if you know anything about trapeze arts you know you must land on the net just the right way (not on your head, or feet first, etc.) else you would probably end up crippled or even killed.
Then anyone who knows anything about martial arts would see this so called advanced fighting technique of the future laughable. For that matter if you have the slightest understanding of physics you'ed see a lot of stuff happening improbable, if not downright impossible. And then shouldn't there be bodies all over the place with such reckless abandon? I could go on and on, it's like the writer(s) of this movie were in some sort of hallucinogenic stupor while they wrote it. The key parts of the story they seemed to have "borrowed" from other trendy stories like the first book of Harry Potter, the Twilight concept, and a fair bit of Hunger Games thrown in.
Also the whole movie is very stereotyped and predictable. You could literally see what was going to happen a mile away.
Finally that literally got me nauseated was the way over the top dramatic and sappiness of it. Somewhere between the worst soap opera and some sort of teenaged "reality" show. I'm pretty sure this story was geared for teenage girls, or otherwise I'm not sure what they were thinking.
In the end my wife liked it (whom is not a teenager by the way), but I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone other then a 14 year old girl..
I got to stop thinking and writing about this movie before I hurl..
