    Why do they let McG make movies still??

    Man, this movie is such a disappointment. It's so so bad. I hate to be this person, but they deviated so far from the book it's almost its own entity. I understand when they need to change certain things to make it work for the screen, but they completely changed story lines and character arcs. There's almost no noticeable differences between the "uglies" and the "pretties". The pretties just look like they have a smoothing instagram filter on, very basic. It's not even good CGI. They shoehorned things in from later in the series making a convoluted mess. It's obvious they had no intention of making any more than the one movie, which is annoying. Why start something you have no plans of finishing?? After the first 20 minutes of this mess I came to IMDB and found out it was directed by McG and I'm not surprised. The dude hasn't made anything worthwhile in 20 years. What an absolute joke. I hope Netflix loses a bunch of money on this junk. They've become the worst of all the streaming services, just continuously churning out literal garbage while they cancel the only decent shows they have after one season.

    Delivers exactly what you'd expect

    I don't get what some of the reviewers here expected from this movie. Who gets on Netflix in search of a cinematic masterpiece and thinks "Ah, this Netflix-produced teen action flick by someone who calls themselves McG sure will be it". 😂

    This is exactly what you'd expect- just a fun, mindless modern day TV movie with average acting, average effects and lots of plot holes, but sufficiently engaging and entertaining. Perfect for a night in when you're tired and can't be bothered to follow anything more complex.

    If you're looking for something ambitious, intelligent and well crafted there are enough choices out there. This isn't it, and it doesn't ever pretend to be.

    Netflix Movie. Its generic future earth movie. Watchable.

    So this film is fine. It sets up a standard future world we have all seen before. Typical Government villain. It does nothing new with the beauty argument. It's all just copy and paste from another script.

    The main characters are all beautiful before they get the surgery. Which really hurts the logic of the movie. They needed to explain why getting mandatory surgery actually helps the world. Instead we get one paragraph at the start which just says that it does, and moves on.

    They introduce hover boards which everyone in the world should have, but nope; Just these two teenagers who happen to have this super rare technology. And one of them gets given it.

    They then introduce magically bracelets which protect them from falls. Might make sense after they get the boards, but nope. Main character just happens to be wearing it, when she needs it after falling off a building. But it then fails to work for the first fall from the board?

    There are some nice shots of the future city which really help. But this entire world is just that one city. We never learn about the rest of the planet.

    Parents abandon their children. We get some emotional manipulation line later in the film that you could say justifies this action. But it's left for you, the audience to connect the dots on that one.

    Overall it's worth a background watch while doing something else. And as a straight to Netflix movie, it's above average. But the writers could have done more with the concept and I just feel like they were treading through the motions on this one, and more imagination was needed to elevate the script beyond the formulaic.

    I can't stop laughing

    Joey King is 25 years old and in this film she is supposed to be 15. Other than paying the actors, it seems they spent $1000 on a green screen and another $50 for the production team. I guess it might be fine if you want to throw something on for your kids to rot their brain, but I'd definitely give this one a pass. I would not recommend this to any one who values their time. These kids are literally kick flipping hoverboards and the whole show is based on "feeling pretty" with a surgery performed when they turn 16. To say unreal expectations of the world, and yourself, would be a massive understatement.

    Cringe, story line all over the place,

    First of there isn't a single ugly person in the cast.

    The concept of everyone prioritizing being pretty made no sense because how does it contribute to the development of society in the movie? Like you become pretty and that's all? How do these people even make a living do you just become pretty and party all the time?

    Because that's what it looked like "Get pretty and just live your life". Overall the movie had some good CGI and the action scenes were okay.

    The whole concept of the movie felt a bit like they were trying to give off some Hunger Games vibe and the idea of the rebellion being led by the smoke(David) felt kinda off because it would have made more sense if his parents were the leaders of the rebellion seeing as they were the first to actually leave the city.

      Based on the Scott Westerfeld series that spanned four books and a spinoff series.
    • Goofs
      When they are pulling up the train tracks and saying they recycle the metal they call it the 'ties'. A railroad tie is not the metal part; it is the large wood block that goes perpendicular to the track that 'ties' the track together.
