Originally reviewed on http://www.frommybookshelf.com

I feel like I may be on of the last people to have gotten around to reading this dystopian scifi thriller, but I'm glad I finally listened to it (I downloaded it off of Audible). While Cline's necessity to drop some 80s reference (however obscure) in what seems like every other paragraph started to feel a little forced by the end, it was still a rollicking good story, and any 80s kid will completely dig this.

Childhood Revisited
I have really enjoyed the series thus far. It brings a bit of nostalgia mixed with SciFi that just melts the heart a little bit. The sound track is fantastic and fits the series very well. Acting is good! A well rounded cast really brings life to the normalcy of 80's and not so normal upside down!

The Hype behind the film (0 more)
I enjoyed the fantasy aspects of this film. If you are looking to hard at this film with the lens of hype behind it you will be disappointed. If you are looking for a buddy cop film with fantasy aspects you will be content. Don't think to hard about what the critics say about this film and enjoy it. I was able to get my anti-scifi watching boyfriend to enjoy this movie.

Would of liked explore more of his abilities (0 more)
Wasn't in a rush watch this at first as he's not a character that I've come across in my time of being a marvel fan. This was a pleasant surprise when watched this as its gripped me all throughout the film great graphics and storyline. Would of liked seen more about his abilities seen more but that's just my opinion. Will say this is a must watch for marvel fans and scifi

Unpredictable scifi
This a film based around two characters who hold the screen so well considering the limited additional cast. I’m not a major fan of either leads but they both impressed me with compelling and emotive portrayals.

The ship on a 120 year trajectory to a new planet and it is carrying over 5000 people in hibernation until one pod releases its subject too early. The plot was strong right to the end and I was expecting it to peter out. I thought it ended in a good spot.

Very weak story (1 more)
Not much of a horror or scifi
Let's not bother
Well only tried this out as recognised the actress who plays Tiggs was popular on UK TV. It's a very low budget film. Set in an advanced facility with advanced Ai and augmented reality specs. It's all a bit vague as to why the kids are there, what they are learning. Very quickly turns into people just running down dark corridors, air vents trying to escape the evil kids. A poor ending which was quite predictable caps it off.
