Great for Pre-Teens/Teens - Horrible For Adults Who Frequent Movies

Rating: 6/10 (10 August 2014)

I watched it with my daughter who is eleven. It kept her attention and I didn't hear any complaints after. I guess that is because the book was created for kids so the movie in that regard is a success.
Now for the bad. From an adult perspective I thought this was a horrible film. The setting, plot, and character all scream "Hunger Games rip-off". I've seen many movies that are similar in certain ways, but this was just a blatant attempt to piggy back the success of another franchise. Even the movie poster mimic's the Hunger Game's aesthetics. The character's are boring and typical. The development of everything is predictable. It's simply a knockoff film.
