spyforces This movie is a stand out, it is so amazing with an incredible plot and strong believable characters. It is very emotive and you can even feel empathetic towards some of the characters. Some people hate the film because of the tiny differences from book to movie. I haven't read the books so there weren't any misconceptions. This movies was incredible and everything was so intriguing. I hope this movie gets a sequel. It has everything anyone would want in a movie. I'm sure if there was a sequel more concepts would be further explored. I'm going to see it again.
tmccloy-49-770289 So glad they stuck closely with the book! please give us never fade!!!!!
joeyford-55342 Sure, they steal directly from the TV show GIFTED and the HEROES series. There is a lot stolen from THE WOLVERINE and the X-MEN where Angel's dad is a scientist who experiments on him trying to "cure" him. I'm pretty sure there are even exact dialogue taken from those other efforts. "We are not a disease, we are an upgrade." The most blatant one was "start walking and don't stop, even when you get tired, when your feet bleed, don't stop .. never stop" was word for word from the end of WOLVERINE. There were a few movies where kids were rounded up and given a grouping by color or symbol, the Jennifer Lawrence thing for one. But on the plus side, this is a solid story and it is well told. The special effects are good. The one where she is disappearing from past scenes was amazing -- I was watching closely to see if I could figure out how they did it. Overall, it is a fun ride.
Neil Welch A plague kills the majority of the world's children. Those who survive have various paranormal abilities, and are graded by the government from Green (the majority, with simple, safe powers) up through the colours to Orange (rare, and so dangerous that they are to be killed on identification). 10 year old Orange Ruby survives by pretending to be Green inside one of the the prison camps which house all children. When the authorities finally realise the truth, Ruby escapes and enters one of the underground factions.This film is an adaptation of the first of a Young Adult novel trilogy (yes, another one). As a result, there is no real ending. The story works moderately well as it goes along, but leaves you with a host of unanswered questions at the end. Maybe some of them are addressed in subsequent instalments, but the absence of answers here is pretty unsatisfying. The whole prison camp with sadistic guards scenario is difficult to swallow, for a start.The young cast work hard and do quite well. Amandla Stenberg is pneumatic, as she was in Everything, Everything, as Ruby, and pulls off a pleasingly emotional sequence towards the end.As a science fiction lover, I felt this had the potential to be better, though.
