The movie was so bad that i made an account just to rate it, bad acting and plotting. And i only watched it for like half hour.
If you want to watch a film that portrays emotion so well and tension then this is your film. In my opinion, this is one of the best films I have ever watched and I have almost watched all of Amazon Prime and Netflix. The film contains some good characters and as you have probably gathered from the trailer this is a very strong plot as well as containing some very good songs
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.
I just want to say one thing about this movie. It was an alright movie but it was hyped up too much. This movie is set in the future where the Earth is lacking natural resources to keep the existing population so in the United States or maybe just Texas (I still don't know) students take a test. If they pass they live and if they fail they are "killed". At the end of the movie they show Logan Paul wake up on an elevator where he sees Lia Johnson alive and working on some sort of assembly line. This is the part I don't understand. If the Earth were lacking natural resources and we wanted to use less resources then why would you keep the failed students alive? They would be using the same resources as if they were "alive". After seeing this at the end are realizing that they aren't actually being killed I was really confused because then the system is pointless.
