adonis98-743-186503 "The Thinning" takes place in a future plagued by overcrowding where population control is dictated by a high-school aptitude test. When two students (Logan Paul and Peyton List) discover the test is smoke and mirrors hiding a larger conspiracy, they must fight the system to expose it and take it down. So now we get to see Youtube Movies online too? With youtube stars in the main roles? are we serious on this Hollywood? and people who greenlight this messy of a movie? This was below the b-type of movie and even dumber and boring than i expected it to be.

Java_Joe This movie has no reason to exist. It's one of the worst things I've ever seen and only partly due to the casting of Logan Paul as the protagonist. I'm no fan of Mr. Paul and his Youtube shenanigans but I know he's popular with the young crowd. Problem is, he's not a good actor. In fact everybody seems to be sleepwalking through their roles in this but that's only part of the problem. The rest of it is they took an interesting concept for a dystopian future and turned it into an unbelievable and frankly boring piece of crap.Nothing makes sense in this movie. Absolutely nothing. Things happen because they're supposed to happen in the script but there's no lead up or reason for them. The story itself contradicts it's own narrative. This seems to have been directed and edited by somebody with ADHD because honestly it was cut so badly I didn't know what I was looking at half the time. Of course it's a "Youtube Red original movie" that might explain it. Hey, it works on Youtube in a two minute video, it's going to work for a full length one right? Wrong. Some real actors in the lead and a better script and director and maybe they could have made something that people would want to watch instead of just a product to be consumed.

cubmom04 I was *forced* to watch this awful movie because my son liked Logan Paul. The truth is, some people are just not creative. They re-tread old ideas instead of creating something new. Some actors are just hacks, and I guess he's a new actor or something, but for pete's sake, this guy sucks. The best thing about this movie? It's very short.

alexandrmguerrero Effects and sets were decently made, but the story is incredibly lacking. There is an attractive young girl who is saved by an attractive young boy from certain death at the hands of a society that has twisted morals. The boy sacrifices everything for this girl he has just met and has no previously established relationship with. The acting isn't good, the characters are flat, and the story is uninspired. I would attribute this movie's success to the actor's fame and nothing more.
