Disappointed

Rating: 5/10 (28 June 2015)

While I did not read the book that the film is based, this movie was not what I hoped for. Part of it reminded me of an updated "Lord of the Flies." The movie just never really took off nor really went anywhere. It just did not capture my interest. I also expected more time spent in the actually maze. I will give the actors praise for trying, but something was off in the story/script. After seeing "The Giver" and "Ender's Game" recently, they all seem like basically the same movie. I have yet to see any of the Divergent or Hunger Game's movies, but I would bet again this same kind of film seems to be all over the box office. I am sure a sequel is in the works, but I will not be seeing it.
