    Might have been a better move to begin with. Story would carry better in tv format especially on Netflix. That movie just fell apart at the end and took away from the trill beginning of the movie.

    I liked the movie, but you had to suspend disbelief a grip... the director is just not great with tone... (He also directed The Host which had the same problems) It may just be a cultural thing though, but I could do without scenes like the one with the crazy propaganda-spewing pantomime school teacher....
    and they should've never survived the axe-welding dudes...

    I guess what I'm trying to say is the material might be handled better by someone else and the a tv show might work...
