Horrible Dialogue, Bad Acting, and Sequel-Baiting Ruin a Solid Premise

Rating: 5/10 (28 November 2014)

I was intrigued by the trailer. It pretty much just showed the premise of the film and scenes from only the first 30 minutes. That made me think there was going to more to the movie than just exiting the maze.
There was a little of that, but the movie ends about 10 minutes after they exit the maze to start "Phase 2" as it is stated in the movie. There is no hint of what the sequel could even be about which is disappointing.
Due to its bad dialogue and hammy acting, I wouldn't particularly want to see the sequel either unless the film gets outstanding reviews from the critics.
My advice is stick to "The Hunger Games." This film is definitely not in the same league as that 'young adult' film series.
