You are at least 45 minutes into the movie, but it become somewhat interested.  Dont waste your time.  While based on a true story, these individuals were not the brightest bunch of individuals.

It won't make u feel bad having spent some of life's precious minutes watching this...however,just buy something else,unless you can get a cheap copy. The story is not to interesting the action is basic. It resembles more a movie written by a Japanese person but filmed by an American with American producers. Not a bad movie but questionable as to being "good".Picture a jailbreak duo who crosses path with dime a dozen gangsters in an "enchanted forest" where the dead become the undead and the plot only exists to end the movie not explore an idea. Cheesy action flick that makes an attempt at some humor. Unless you don't mind mindless pseudo-action dribble...dont buy it. Once again,unless its realy cheaply priced.

Stereotypical and overplayed.  Something to watch to waste time.

Sorry but this was a complete waste of time for me.  It came highly recommended by a freiend who previously has recommended some great movies (i.e. Sexy Beast and Cedar Rapids both get thumbs up).  I am really surprised becasue it was so boring. He said I would be rolling with laughter.  Now I get it - he is laughing for getting me to watch it.

Looking at the reviews I guess you will either really like it or not.  I kept watching waiting for something either intersting or funny to happen but it simply never does.  So if your like me and are bored after the first 10 minutes, turn it off as it does not get any better.

It's like watching a bad movie when you're bored. It keeps your interest if you don't think about it got too long. The writing makes it difficult to get through but the underlying premise makes you want to give it a chance.

For what its worth... it afforded some mild entertainment on a slow day at work. I thought Scarlet Johansen's acting was pretty flat, and since she was in almost every scene....well...
I would say, if you are easily angered at having your intelligence insulted, skip this, but if you are bored out of your noggin and want something light and not mentally taxing (and that you can continue to work and watch at the same time) this is fine.

I think Shailene Woodley is a young actress to watch.. Theo.. (absolutely intensely watchable)...  I don't know why people think "Meh" or "only watch it if you are so terminably bored, anything would entertain you"...  Most reviewers on Amazon really do a good job; I count on those reviews when I purchase ANYTHING from Amazon PERIOD.  "BORING, and MEH" are not helpful...
First, the Divergent series was not knock off of Hunger Games.  It is much different, truly a different idea of dystopian bleakness and dishonesty... These books and films should appeal to young people, because it could be that generation which finds itself in this spot... (I pray not, but obviouly some very good writers are considering the possibility)
I wish I had made the time to see this in theatre.... but the intial reviews were poor, so I waited.  It is interesting that the Blu-rays and dvds always get better reviews.  It is a product of our short attention span society... if it's not blam wham thank you ma'm and an EXPLOSION.. it's not good enough...  This movie was definitely good enough.  Sure there was angst, cruelty, and tears, but the acting was superb, considering how much was on green screen.
It is a pleasure to watch Beatrice evolving into Tris....  She absolutely carries the theme which Veronica Roth kept repeating... "Be Brave"... it takes all of the factions, but first and foremost selflessness and dauntless to BE BRAVE,,,  Let's all work on being BRAVE and not Bored...

Couldn't even finish the movie I was so bored... Started off okay then took a very long slow turn of uneventfulness. I haven't turned a movie off at the half way mark in a long time. Wished they would have filmed it in a more exciting way. Your literally looking at people stand in the kitchen for 10 minutes then stand in the living room for 10 minutes. Snooze fest.

Even being quite bored today, I can't sit through it.  I'd rather watch one of my kids cartoon's for the 20th time.  I gave it a chance but it was painfully slow and I lost interest in even seeing what happens.

this movie pits the gathering of the kids to ressurect some person and then reck hell on the place. Kids start getting colds and sick all of a sudden and thats when doctor Naomi Watts come to the town and then things start happening. along the ride is the boring Karen Black who is so dumb and obnoxious in this movie your mind will emplode on impact. but it brightens up the place when you see Brent Jennings(Witness, Little Boy Blue, Tvs Buffy The Vampire Slayer) in the house. otherwise its a nonstop bore. try not to fall alseep like i did while watching it, well maybe because it was 4 int he morning, but

This movie doesn't have anything new to offer. It has a little action, drama, and suspense. Not enough of any of those things to make you care very much though. It's like a cheap lazy version of Armageddon. I'm not gonna waste time talking much about it, and I don't think you should waste your money on buying it or watch it. Unless you come across it on the Sci-fi channel don't give it a second thought.

Not very interesting for the first half of the movie at all.  Honestly the characters could have all died and I wouldn't have cared because I hadn't bonded much with them.  I did not want Hugh Laurie's character to die because well it's Hugh Laurie.  But then it picked up with building the plane and engaged me quite a bit, enough to make up for the beginning.  It's an okay movie overall.  A decent way to pass the time. I'd recommend it if you're quite bored, otherwise skip it.

A bit boring during the first 15 min but became very fun to watch after that. I enjoyed it.

I bought this DVD a while ago and just recently watched it. I was not impressed. I was told how hilarious this movie was and how great it was, so when I saw it for a good deal I purchased it. I thought it was stupid. There were a few good moments in it but not enough to keep you fully entertained. If your looking for a movie light on comedy and entertainment then this is for you.

I bought this dvd based on the positive reviews posted here at Amazon. If you want to see just how dull characters can be ... watch this. I'd recommend renting rather than purchasing.
