Theo James, Kate Winslet, Jai Courtney, Ashley Judd, Zöe Kravitz
- Why? Dystopia
- Seen: 2 May 2025
After the War society is restructured so
that everyone is placed in one of five groups. There’s a lot of running,
jumping off buildings, playing at being soldiers, long yearning looks between
girl and boy, rebellion, evil leaders (the rational scientists) crushing
emotion and kindness and all that. The book was OK-ish, the film is OK-ish. I
love dystopias but this is limp. The Hunger
Games is ever so much better.
