Poor Teenage Fantasy

Rating: 4/10 (25 May 2015)

Not great. This feels like a shiny version of a cult offering and it's not a cult I have any interest in. It's full of characters befitting a teenage fantasy novel and indeed there's not much guessing needed as to the target audience.
The concept of a SciFi world in which kids are forced to fight each other to the death is a terrifying one and needs to treated either as a gruesome horror or a satire with tongue firmly in cheek. Having pretty teenagers slickly and bloodlessly dispatching each other is not the way to do it.
Poor.
