Great pace and shallowness

Rating: 6/10 (1 December 2014)

The pace of this is great - the scenes join up like a sprint relay, with the tension mounting all the time.
The characters were fairly well marked out, although the introduction of the girl showed the lack of ambition of the story - that should have caused some funny reactions amongst a group of 50 sex starved boys. The only faint laugh was the "girls are awesome" scene.
The ending is sequel bait, but at least it left you guessing. Even to the point you wonder if the hero is really a plant.
Lack of humour is a weakness throughout. The scenario is interesting. But the big failing is that in that kind of world the future will not be technological - more feudal.
