Theodore R Apr 14, 2019 It's almost a low budget spin off from X Men but with a smaller group of gifted children. The action in the story wasn't frequent enough which left a lot of room for moping around and doing nothing productive. I wish there was a better climax to the ending of the movie as well. A film like this should aim to go out with a BANG! which most certainly didn't happen. The 2 main guardians of the group, Max and Fang, added some romance and emotion to the production which was badly needed. I craved just a little bit of something to keep me interested for the duration of the picture. Although they showed a clear respect and appreciation for each other they never even got their kiss at the end, which is a common conclusion in the movie industry involving romance at all. I feel as though that specifically had left us a little empty handed. Now moving on to a major problem I had with the cast: most of characters were executed well, not outstandingly, but it was done well. Whereas some actors clearly stood out as the few who didn't get as many acting lessons for example Luke Crosby, his acting made me feel downright uncomfortable with just how poor it was and Tetona Jackson whom wasn't given a great number of lines, but the ones she did deliver weren't very strong and didn't have the mannerisms of her character to back them up. She almost seemed as she was reading them as herself. Although I have pardoned the younger members of the cast due to the fact that they were only children at the time and done considerably well despite their age. So that gets a pass. I was especially captivated by the acting skills of the main character Max, played by Allie Marie Evans. Although in some scenes she let her hold on the character slip and it became obvious. She managed to keep the strong, graceful composure of her role. Most of the time. I blame the lazy dialogue for that. And finally the SFX, which were amusing to say the least. Some scenes where their wings were visible weren't as bad, SFX wise. But in other scenes it was just plain rotten. Not a bad movie to watch if there's nothing on the TV. See more

Finn M Feb 20, 2019 I absolutely HATE this movie. It has the worst CGI I have EVER seen. It does NOT portray Max the way that the book does. She ends up sounding like that bossy kid you had in your first-grade class. In the books she faces the problems that a normal teenage girl would. In the book, it gives us an aspect of who the characters really are. Here the characters remind me of a piece of wood. They are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO one dimensional. All in all this movie does NOT meet my standards and is (honestly in my opinion trash. See more

Dec 30, 2018 As a huge fan of the books, this movie gave me more cancer than pre-mutation Wade Wilson

Sep 17, 2018 No....just no. I couldn't even get through the first 5 minutes of it. The actors are all wrongfor the characters. FANG IS NOT A SHORT HAIRED JOCK! HE IS A TALL, LONG BLACK HAIRED, PALE BOY! This needs a better budget and actors that are right for the characters rolls. See more

Kylo P Aug 4, 2018 Bad special effects and poor character development. I visualized it better through the books. Unfortunately, not really worth the watch. See more

Ron S Jul 28, 2018 I a a huge fan of the book and the movie was terrible the script wasn't faithful to the book at all, the characters personalities were completely off and the visual effects were awful if you are going to make a movie about flying kids you should by able to make them fly See more
