Eeehhhhhh I am sad

As many have pointed out, there wasn't enough run time to build the narrative and characters. The only character they slightly done justice was Shay, Brianne done really well in portraying her.

Whoever designed the set/Architecture WELL DONE, literally almost exactly how I have imagined it in my head for the last 10 years, even down to the constant fireworks.

1. "The uglies are not ugly enough" Surprisingly I disagree. I just think they haven't portrayed the pretties as radical enough, it lacked the outrageousness and complexity of the actual appearance and personality change. The uglies are meant to look NORMAL, eg. Literal models in old magazines didn't compare to pretties in the book. Although I do agree that Joey King doesn't quite suit the book perception of Squint, I can however, see their thought process (I'm looking at you people who keep calling her ugly)

2. "We never learn about the rest of the planet", yeah the readers didn't learn about that for a while either, and neither does the characters. It's actually a main plot line in one of the future books so be patient.

3. "How are they hoverboarding on water" This is where the narratives quickness and budget ruined the technology and dystopian aspect, I was looking forward to this part the most, however it all lacked clarity with too much action.

4. I've seen quite a few comments and social media posts mentioning that Tally and Shay have better chemistry than any of the others, this is the same in the books and is a really important aspect as they develop their friendship and platonic love. I really enjoyed that they adapted this aspect of the characters, however ended up lacking in others.

All in all I am not surprised it is quite cheesy, it is a dystopian movie with a plot written in the mid 2000s, I definitely think with a longer run time or series they could've smashed it, it would make the special effects appear less overwhelming and the narrative denser and consistent, not leading to confusion about the plot or meaning behind the movie. With our social media today, I think the adaption of this movie is more important now than ever, they just lacked the cinema substance.

Spoilers from a longtime fan of the book!

SPOILERS:

Never been a big fan of Joey King, thought she was a terrible fit beforehand, but was pleasantly surprised at how good of a job she did. Overall casting was good! Watched with my sister, who was upset that Peris became a Special, but can kinda see why they did it. My only major complaint is that it felt pretty rushed, at 1 hour 40 minutes I felt we could've afforded to slow things down a little, particularly the romance between Tally and David. Would have been nice to have a slightly bigger level of production. Also, I believe a soundtrack makes a show, and there was nothing exciting in that regard at all.

Overall, 6/10, but hoping they continue the series.

Side note, read the IMBD reviews here, lots are calling it unoriginal and copy-paste of Hunger Games/Divergent. Scott Westerfeld published the book in 2005, so that's a bit funny and ridiculous ?

Cringe, story line all over the place,

First of there isn't a single ugly person in the cast.

The concept of everyone prioritizing being pretty made no sense because how does it contribute to the development of society in the movie? Like you become pretty and that's all? How do these people even make a living do you just become pretty and party all the time?

Because that's what it looked like "Get pretty and just live your life". Overall the movie had some good CGI and the action scenes were okay.

The whole concept of the movie felt a bit like they were trying to give off some Hunger Games vibe and the idea of the rebellion being led by the smoke(David) felt kinda off because it would have made more sense if his parents were the leaders of the rebellion seeing as they were the first to actually leave the city.
