Fantastic Sci Fi

Rating: 9/10 (25 November 2017)

I hadn't seen this before and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I'd sort of read the book a long time ago, and the film was well done. I caught it before I watch ex-machina tonight so was in a Sci Fi mood to be fair but for a film about teenagers it was very good. I sometimes turn from films like this because the teenagers annoy me (I've been one myself!) and I guess sometimes they irritate because they remind me of me. Besides all that the graphics for the games are beautifully done, the music good, the pace of the plot fast enough to keep you interested. I had worked out what was going to happen and couldn't remember if it was from the book or I'd worked it out myself. Probably both. Well it's a great story and beautifully crafted film. It's different, too. I grew up watching films like War games which I love too. If you have a bit of time to spare, love sci-fi and want something a bit different from star wars watch this.
