Never read the novel, but I saw the film. It was okay, sort of an Australian Red Dawn. My only issue with it is that it had a terrible scene jammed into it where a character tells another one reading a different dystopian book that the novel is generally better than the movie.
Here’s the incredibly ham-fisted dialogue.
Ellie Linton: Good book?
Corrie Mackenzie: Better than the movie.
Ellie Linton: Yeah, books usually are.
I get it. Read the novel after watching the film even if I didn’t like the film. You don’t have to tell it to me in the movie.
I saw the movie. I recall enjoying it, but not being amazed. The biggest disappointment was that they never adapted anything after book 1. If you enjoyed the movie, I highly recommend the books.
Yeah, it was entertaining enough but it was clearly just a part 1 movie. I’m not really into YA literature, but I told my wife, who loves it, to check out the series after I saw the movie. I should ask her if she ever did.

Like I said, it wasn’t bad otherwise.
