Wow, what an inept film. I don't know the book but I understand changes were made, and I'm thinking not for the better. It's really surprising that the people involved would end up with this.

A basic dystopian society story, we've seen a thousand times before. There is no solid grounding for this particular society though. How it was created and continues to function makes no sense whatsoever.

The dialogue is laughable and the performances from some of the young cast is unbelievable. The whole thing just does not work. So many problems. Best to forget this one.
