Could have been a 9 or 10

It had everything there to make it a truly captivating and strong movie, but it just couldn't come together plotwise and in the end. The ending itself was so anticlimactic and just abruptly ended that you literally go, that's it? I'm glad it wasn't your typical YA dystopian crap we have seen recently even though it had similar elements.

I agree, it was really good.

I personally gave it a 4.

I found the plot to be unoriginal and quite predictable.
The acting was decent, but you usually get more from both Streep and Bridges.
Production looked cheap. CGI wasn't good (the drones for example). It took away from the experience.

Why is it whenever I'm having fun, it's wrong?
