Title: Mediocre effects, preachy, disconnected plot
Review: First, the visual effects were pretty weak. Think "Made for TV" movie and thats about right.Second, the story seems to stop and start. Very disjointed. You'll spend 15 minutes hiding in a cupboard listening to some drawn out monologue and then "a miracle occurs" and the heroine is in the next scene. There is little flow to the film, its almost like the scenes were their own episodes with only the thinnest transitions.Third, talk about preachy. Big bad Magisterium controls everyone and everything and is harming children only opposed by the last "light" of the world, a college. Yeah, ok. I mean we all know that colleges are beacons of enlightenment, I mean the frat parties are BRILLIANT. Come on, I'd like my indoctrination to have a modicum of sanity.Bottomline. This is one movie the kids will yawn at and parents will roll their eyes through. Skip it.
