Good plot line, adventurous and good background score but too much focus on the protagonist and characters are all shallow

Rating: 6/10 (20 December 2014)

The main plot line is quite interesting and the story feels adventurous. You keep wondering what will happen next and whether or not they will survive.
But as with any other teen movie this one too seems to have the world revolving completely around the protagonist. There is no depth to the other characters. Everyone constantly keeps looking at the boy. There are many camera shots where a group of people are expecting an outcome of a scene (for ex waiting for something to open/close, waiting for someone to come/go etc) but instead of looking at what lies in front of them they all have their eyes focused on the boy. It's as if their life is all about finding out what happens to the boy. Suppose you're waiting for astronauts to land on the moon. Just at that moment, would you look at the astronauts or would you look at your friend's face constantly nearby?
As for the boy the very first thing you notice is that he's arrogant. He looks like a snob and his dialogues are all bad. When he clearly sees a someone struggling he needs to reassure the other person that he did a great job, we're all grateful to him, times are changing, his help is still needed etc. But instead he responds in a self-centered and arrogant manner. Then there are a bunch of really close scenes all focused on his face. I felt quite repulsed by the close shots especially because he's looking at everyone else like everyone else should bow to him.
Plot line is pretty good and kept my focus. I would say if you like adventure/suspense/thriller movies then you can watch it once. It's not that great but it's still good enough to watch once.
