Good, not amazing

Rating: 6/10 (30 September 2015)

This film was a bit like the Hunger Games, only with a male lead. It's the usual dystopian world flick populated by oppressed teens. I enjoyed the fast pace of the movie, but at times it did seem like it moved along too quickly and didn't allow the characters enough time to develop any real relationships. The main character Thomas was your cliché all-American teen lead. Sometimes I wish they'd just let a normal looking person be the hero. Despite this, it's entertaining from beginning to end, which is the most important when watching any movie. It introduces the series well enough to leave viewers hungry for the next installment.
