OK movie with a few wrongs

Rating: 7/10 (29 July 2014)

This is a watchable film if you are not expecting something deeper from an action movie. First of all designs of kind this post apocalyptic future is beautifully made. Plot has no surprises, pretty straight forward and you can easily predict what is going to happen next. Shailene Woodley is superb for the main character and Kate Winslett is great as ever. Acting of the rest is above average. For me this was an OK movie with a few wrongs.
Now I'd like to write about the things that didn't work for me: - Miles Teller's character seemed like that was added in the very last stages of the production. There is no depth to this person, as the film moves on he gets the very confusing, unnecessary. Feels like they'd decided to include this actor in no matter how, and probably they had decided to divide another character in two and open some space for this new invented character. Awkward. Also his acting has problems. Such as, every time he is on the screen it feels like he is reading lines from his previous films. Totally out of sense. - It was very nice to see Ashley Judd after so many years but this was a very small part also. - Jumping off the trains seems fun at the beginning but gets old pretty fast. - And also, why in earth jumping off a building where there is a hole in the ground should be scary for a girl who had just jumped off a train only couple of minutes ago? - And why would two take the same test secretly knowing all is recorded? What kind of secret is that?
