7.4 IMDb rating?

Rating: Null/10 (2 September 2012)

I consider myself fairly open minded, and can find something to like in even very unlikely movies, but this movie was terrible. The lack of character development, explanations of premise, the shaky cam action, all awful. Glad the family only spent $5.99 to watch it On Demand last night. I can see how the books would be good where you can build this futuristic world in your head, but on screen it played out like a ripped off version of Survivor, that takes place outside of WhoVille. Just plain silly.
To believe for one second that human beings advanced enough to build high speed rail and a futuristic city, would devolve to child murder for sport, is such a laughable stretch of one's belief as to insult the intelligence of even the most pedestrian viewer.
Not sure how it attained a fairly lofty 7.4, from the reviews I read.
