Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

david-sarkies If I'd realised that this was basically one of those young adult dystopian novels I probably would have stayed back home and done some homework as opposed to going out and spending three hours that I am never going to get back again. I guess that teaches me for not digging into a film before going out an seeing it, but then again knowing me I probably would have gone and seen it anyway. Basically the film is about how a disease wipes out a bulk of the children, and those who don't die basically gain psychic powers. Gee, that sounds an awful lot like a certain series of comics that has this regenerating guy with an adamantium skeleton. Actually, this film sounds an awful lot like that particular franchise, and in fact it turns out that because they have gained all of these powers, the government basically decides to lock them up and attempt to find a cure. Well, not surprisingly out protagonist manages to escape and meets up with some others who are basically searching for this place where all of their kind can live in peace. Gee, that basically sounds like pretty much every single young adult dystopian story ever. Honestly, it seems as if they have basically found another formula that seems to work, and every wannabe writer is suddenly jumping on board. Maybe it is because I am no longer a young adult that I'm sort of finding this films rather dull and boring. Otherwise it is just that I'm pretty much sick of well worn cliches. Honestly, I can appreciate where many of these films (and underlying books) are coming form. The world truly does seem to be run by a bunch of tyrannical old people who have little to no care for those of the generation beneath. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they feel threatened by them, so they go out of their way to keep them suppressed. Except they aren't just focusing on the young adults, they are basically focusing on anybody who can upset the powers that be. Yeah, there was a time when I was a young adult, and there was a time when we hated the powers that be because they seemed to be doing everything to stop us not only from having fun, but also keeping us powerless. Well, that is until we finished university and got our first full time job where we were being paid more than we knew what to do with. Suddenly we are in a different world, and suddenly we don't feel anywhere near as powerless as we did before. Still, these films do seem to be pretty targeted, and it sort of suggests that it is only the young people who are dangerous, and that all of the old people are bad and out to get them. Yeah, once again that isn't anything new - the generation gap has been a thing since back in the sixties. Yet in a way it is somewhat different because it isn't so much a generation gap, but rather an income gap. It seems as if the baby boomers, and to an extent the Xers, that have all of the money, and the millennials, and post millennials, have basically all missed out. Yet in the end this doesn't necessarily address the problem, and really only stokes the anger that is slowly burning up inside.

olegrenaa Hope for a part 2 and 3, think there is a lot more of this story

fallen_angel_kizmet-994-807090 This basically sums up every movie I've seen in recent years almost. Supposedly this movie was based off a book series. I don't really want to go too much into this, but a lot of this movie was world building. The filmmakers clearly made this movie so it would pick up for a sequel, but I doubt that movie will be made. There's way too much going on in this movie that it's barely explained and poorly executed. The premise is some post apocalyptic future where kids are being born with superpowers like X Men, so the military is trying to capture them all and experiment/exterminate (it was never made clear) them like Weapon X from the X men. We know there's this "League" or something like the Justice League from the Justice League. I had no idea where the movie was going, where the story was going, there was no peril, no objective, no goals, and no real consistency. The dialogue was corny in many areas, and I honestly think this is just some cheesy teen romance that doesn't do anything for the plot with a post apocalyptic mutant super hero story thrown in. I just gave it a 5 because I didn't know where to rate a "Meh". Not terrible, but not good.

Osmosis Iron It's somewhat strong characters and good young actor's(they are probably the best part) can't save a formulaic, boring and unoriginal film. The action is very rare and even when it happens it's sub-par, it probably works better as a book! As a movie it falls flat, not a superhero spectacle and not quite a serious emotional powerhouse.. it's hard to see who this was meant for!
