As bad as Sci Fi gets

Rating: 1/10 (13 April 2014)

I haven't read the book, so I didn't go into the movie hall with a lot of expectations (except the IMDb rating of 7.5). I don't see how that could have made a difference though. I'll try to summarize this movie in a sentence : "Its a really low budget book adaptation which could only cater to children as its primary audience, and even they would change the channel if it were on TV". The Premise I daresay was decent enough for an engaging Sci Fi movie, but this falls flat on its face so hard it broke its jaw and nose within the first 15 minutes. A good lead actress in a shoddy plot/screenplay, crawling along at a horrible pace with no direction whatsoever. Please avoid this movie, even when it ends up on Cable in a month or so. Im amazed so many people gave it a good rating. This saddens me, because I cannot trust IMDb ratings anymore after this movie.
