They haven't eliminated death, they just call it "a different name" was awesome and in the context of the movie it was really good. When people are allowed to choose, they choose wrong. Again, brilliant. The biggest problem I had was the lack of twist/surprise or any real "excitement". It doesn't have to be Michael Bay explosions but to just have a movie of talking and bickering wasn't my cup of tea.

Unlike the movies that borrowed from it (hunger games and divergent), this movie was had no twists or even anything that made you care about the characters. I'll give it a 6-6.5. Still better than T.V. :)Chris in NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903909516089129503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15290406.post-14921555196441974712014-08-15T15:37:45.718-04:002014-08-15T15:37:45.718-04:00Depends on who decides what's perfect.

Used to be most people just want be left alone; now nearly half ask "Waddaya got for me today?" and 5% want to be the deciders of what to give (or to take, depending on where you stand).<br />Lt.
