HOLYWOOD! Get a grip


My first impression is that it sucks... my second impression... it sucks, big time. Why am so hard on it. Another Hunger Games, Divergent, boring piece of Hollywood bs. They can't come up with anything original. So they do the same thing over and over and over, trying to get a different answer. Borderline, insanity. That's what I call it. Merle Streep, Jeff Bridges, too old to find a real film that does their acting skill justice. I like them, but not in this movie. I couldn't get past the whole black and white, sort of like "Pleasantville". If it were supposed to be a comedy, I would have laughed my head off. If you liked it, please, re-evaluate your life goals. This is just another knock-off of an original, that only one, should have been made.

Sorry to be so negative, but I can't take it.

The book this film is based off of is 20 years old. Jeff Bridges has been trying to have this made into a film for many many years.

The book this film is based on is a thinly-veiled ripoff of "This Perfect Day", by Ira Levin, author of "Rosemary's Baby". "This Perfect Day" was published in 1970. The whole idea of the "treatments" and avoiding them is lifted straight out of Levin's novel.

The book is from the 90s.

It's just Hollywood capitalizing on the big emergence (or re-emergence) of dystopia fiction in the past few years.
