Plot holes, unnecessary characters, a dumb storyline.

Rating: 3/10 (18 December 2014)

I haven't read the book and after watching the movie, Im glad i haven't. The story is so plain and dull with lots of unnecessary characters and scenes that doesn't add up to no answers (if they are trying a little suspense). Within 5 minutes into the movie, you know exactly what is going to happen, the only twist of excitement i found in this hour and a half movie is that the protagonist used to be the bad guys. Some of the holes in the storyline - What is the deal with the black guy (ably?) did he know something the others don't, he was the first guy sent out there. and if so why wasn't that explained or implored in the movie to the audience - How and where did they get their supplies: food, tools, oil for their lamps,etc. - The soldiers in the last scene who took the boys (the girl too) home- who are they? why didn't they save the boys from the start. they were not down with the experiment anyway (they killed all those evil human researchers). they even got a chopper.
I checked the ratings here before i watch and was a decent 7. How in the world did this movie got that a high rating?? anyway, the end of the movie suggest a sequel (blah! not again!!). If you like Percy Jackson series or the last air-bender go watch, if not don't waste your time and money on this senseless and dull piece that might just turn out to be the next twilight saga.
