A teeny-bopper young adult dystopia copycat of Hunger Games/Battle Royale

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2014)

Oh dear god why'd I go see this movie?! If I wanted Hunger Games, I should've went to see Hunger Games. Wait! No, I take that back. If I wanted Hunger Games, I should've watched Battle Royale. Cause if I'm honest, this movie is a copycat of a copycat. Oh how I miss the good old days! The good old days where if you went to see a movie set in a dystopian future where a corrupt government put its citizenry in peril on a whim, it was rated R because it contained great special effects, gritty foul language laced dialogue, and contained adult themes. But this! Okay! I understand the concept of movie studios dumbing this type of film down so tweens can partake in something that makes them feel like they are cool, or makes them feel like their rebelling. Even though they aren't really, they're just soaking up things that have been rehashed from what was cool 25+ years ago. Please! Tween society, realize that when everyone is a rebel, the only true rebellion is against rebellion itself!
