THis is a complex story , i believe that the movie has managed well to capture many details of the book. The book is like a Picasso painting the first book had many deeps that planned with raw emotions and played with them tempting you to think about values of manhood and the trials of life. These books changed me when i was a teenager I love this movie and I love this whole story. THis is not just some sci fi story with special effects I dont value a story because of that I value what has been done to tell the story highly its the times them self we are all lost looking for direction the timing of the movie is fitting.

Completely unfaithful. Takes ideas from Seven epic books, deletes all the main characters and waters everything down to this rubbish. Two brilliant performances from Elba and Mcconaughey, though they could not save this train wreck. Story is vague and generic enough to allow for cool ideas from the book series. Left feeling like an empty shell of a movie with no characters to actually care about. Flat. Cool visuals. Empty. Don't waste your time.

Not entirely sure why this film scored so badly with critics, I've seen worse for sure. All in all I got what I expected, a decent action flick and a simple and fun story/characters. Don't always listen to the critics, if you like science-fiction and fantasy this filn is some good viewing.
