The Giver (2014) Movie Review; Good idea but boring film!

It’s an interesting movie, kind of reminded me of a recent film ”Divergent 2014” on the basis that in the future your role in life is pre determined and society is controlled to a robotic degree.

This movie is a slow starter, I understand they were building a picture and a story but there are ways to do this, I was yawning on the inside for the first fifteen minutes, eventually the pace picks up and I started to enjoy the film, the possibilities seemed endless, which is strange because how it ended was very disappointing, the film slides out to a cold and unimaginative ending that kind if made me feel that the time I had invested really wasn’t worth it.

The director/Writer should have ”GIVEN” more, they really had a great idea on their hands which in execution slipped through their fingers!

6/10
