Let me first say that Lionsgate tried, they really did but it was the worst movie I have ever seen PERIOD. The thing that was so great was that it was laughable at points where they were trying to be serious. At some points in the movie, the acting seemed like it came straight out of a high school English project. I will say that Mikkelsen, Holland, and Ridley CARRIED the movie. The movie felt like it lasted for eternity but yet it felt as if it was 5 seconds long. I will say though that the visuals were off the charts. One of the best dystopian/sci-fi visuals I have ever seen but even a toddler could have told you which scenes they reshot. I felt like I gained nothing from this movie but I also lost nothing other than the time. My advice is the movie is worth a gift card but not money out of your pocket: either wait to rent or until it is on a streaming service. I had strong faith in this movie but did not deliver, felt like a cheap way to get some Lionsgate profit. For anyone going to see this because of the book, let me just prep you and say it is about 5% like the book and the rest I feel was just improv on the actors' part.
