A little boring.

Rating: 5/10 (1 November 2013)

I was a little bored. The graphics were awesome along with the costumes and all the sets etc. but I still found the movie a little boring. I guess they spent too much time on nothing-ness. I have never read the book so I was not sure what to expect but I was expecting a little more action and excitement.
The movie was almost 2 hours long, but the first hour and 45 minutes was of all the kids in the classroom training and trying to figure out who they are and their purpose on the ship. I guess considering they are children one can't really expect much in the way of action but still I felt there was something missing.
The last 5 minutes of the movie was the best part. The twist in the end made a lot of sense. It sort of brought all the loose ends throughout the movie together. But if it really wasn't a game they could have shown some footage of the crew on the ship that was destroyed etc. and the bugs being cremated on the planet.
