Never read the book, so that was probably in the movie's favor.

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2021

Let me start by saying I never read the book, and so I probably come at this with a clearer eye towards the film's merits in and of itself than someone who did read the book. Having said that, do not spend any money to watch this. If you see it on cable or have Prime or one of the other streaming services it might pop up on, you might give this one a try if you are not looking for Citizen Kane level work. The pluses are the beautifully shot scenery and a sense of suspense the movie never really lets up on, keeping you interested in the plot the whole way through. The young actors picked for the roles were adequate, making the efforts of the actor who played Jeb look even worse for the poor job he did. On the downside, though, it is hard to judge their abilities due to the script that seemed to spend way too much time in exposition and meaningless dialogue that did not advance the plot. Somehow, despite that, the actors managed to keep the film rolling without overwrought performances you see out of inexperienced actors trying their best with a crappy script. Also a minus was the seriously bad, like 80's bad, special effects. Given that the film is about five years old, the effects were so shockingly bad that it was jarring every time the kids were shown flying, which is definitely not what you want people noticing when watching a movie about human-bird hybrids. Over all, it was an engaging movie with an interesting premise that was probably ruined by production issues, a crappy script, and dimestore special effects. In the hands of a decent screenwriter and director with a good budget and fx department, this would have been a much, much better film, even if it did disgruntle the James Patterson fans in its liberties with the source material. As I said at the beginning, it is a good enough watch if you don't have anything else to do, but do not pay anything out of pocket to watch it. It is definitely not that good.

I liked that it was based completely on the book series of the same name and enjoyed watching it from beginning to end

Maximum Ride-Don't get taken for a ride!

Spoiler alert!!!
I did not like this movie. From the constant flashbacks to the obvious Biblical tie-in, this story is not to be believed. This was more like X-Men, than anything. I gotta say that I spent the whole movie trying to catch up. There is obviously gotta be more to the story that they or the author are not telling. I feel this is deliberate due to marketing concerns, specifically they want to make a sequel. Hence, I feel betrayed. They sacrificed the plot or storyline in order to adhere to the marketing gimmick-ploy. Had they told the story through the original timeline and just developed the plot more than relying on fast shuffling through a series of flashbacks it may have had a decent shot at being more entertaining than it was. You should try polling test audiences next time. We still don't know if they were made or were born, cloned or whatever.

Now let's deal with the Biblical premise. These are "supposed" to be angels which may have made for a better plot. The author even names one of the group or team or what you want to call it, Angel. So why tell a lie about some clones or genetic mutants as we were led to believe, when it would been better to tell the truth about angels. This was more contrived to crowbar something about a belief in clones than angels. It just misses totally.

There were so many questions left unanswered that it felt that the author wanted to force empathy into characters which could have led the audience to care when at the end of the day I was left flat. Some possible questions were Why did they only have a 4 year lifespan? It was never touched on after the credits. What about the friend she met saving from a rapist? We never find out more about that. So I am basically left wanting, and if there is a sequel on the horizon, maybe there are some explanations there also. Yet I do not want to invest the extra time to find them, when they should have been there in the first place. Had I paid money for this movie at a theater I would felt like asking for the price of admission back and I hardly ever feel this way. This author did a disservice to expect an audience to follow this convoluted storyline. I feel sorely put upon. It just goes to show that there are people who will take your hard earned money any way they can. Sorry for the rant but modern authors should place themselves in the audience before actually putting their name to their works. Troy Lawson

I’m a huge fan of the books, I even have a few of the manga series based on the main series, the only thing I could say is that they left the movie on a cliff hanger and no possible signs of a second movie in the making…. And bad fight Scenes and lots of flashing lights and flashing pictures to give you a headache….. Also fang, he was meant to be this emo guy with longish dark hair, but there was none of that…..

Mal zum Nachdenken was wir uns erschaffen oder herrufen

Ein Film der Erschaffung unserer eigenen Dämonen und Engel, mit dem Eingeständnis, dass wir was Gerechtigkeit definieren können, aber die die wir zur Durchsetzung dieser Erschaffen, wiederum auch nicht haben wollen, weil wir dann die härte der Strafe die wir denen einprogrammieren selbst nicht spüren wollen. Und die Jesus Vergebung zwar für uns wollen aber, selbst anderen kaum geben vermögen.
