An average movie

God, how many more Young Adult novels can you find to adapt on the screen? They keep making those movies when, in fact, out of 5 adaptations, maybe one will be actually fairly successful while the rest will pretty much crash and burn at the box-office and it was definitely the case for this movie. By now, I have become so bored by the genre. Especially,  in this case, it is always the same story: it is usually about a dystopian future and it is about a young boy or girl who decides to defy the status-quo. Actually, I felt bad for Jeff Bridges as it was apparently a pet project of his and he had been trying to have the movie made for nearly 20 years. I mean, it is not that it was completely worthless,  like always with these stories, there was actually some potential but,  even though they tell you that the main character has to overcome some great challenges, it is actually nothing challenging at all for the viewer and it all feels terribly generic and predictable. To conclude, I thought it was rather boring and I don't think it is really worth a look, except maybe if you're a fan of the genre.
