I had a very high expectation of this movie because of the main characters, and positive reviews. The movie started off nice, but it failed to maintain the hype. It would've been good if they injected scientific or any sort of believable explanations (as long as it makes sense) to at least satisfy the curiosity of the viewers as to why the kids suddenly explode.
- The plot was pointless, to be honest. The explosions were not explained. Not even a single theory from the characters was given. I mean, they could've just given us something to ponder on, right?
- The characters were a bit overaged for the role, so I was not really convinced of the acting. I mean, I am 20, and I am technically younger than the actors, but their roles were 17/18, which turn out to be younger than me. So I was really confused. Their acting was nice, but it was not convincing.
- I don't know if it's just me but I found no chemistry between the main leads. I love Katherine and Charlie as I've watched their films before, but their tandem here was a bit forced? I don't know. I cringed in their romantic scenes, and I had to skip some.
- The main lead (Mara) was a total mess. Drugs, alcohol, being too much in love? I mean, who the f thinks of falling in love in the middle of that kind of situation? That explains why I don't find the romance interesting. Her character was kinda annoying as she gives off this typical "I'm not like any other girls" vibe, but lacked interesting characteristics despite her doing all these "cool stuff" like drugs, alcohol, etc.
I can keep the list going, but I will now end it here. I'm gonna go find another movie to compensate the disappointment that I got from this movie. :<
