A sci-fi rendition of Lord of the Flies with all the love triangles you'd expect from a Y/A film. Except I actually don't think it's based off a book. There are effective scenes in this film that show the characters indulging in their primal urges. Some of the cast is weak. Fionn Whitehead is good as the hedonistic upstart but Tye Sheridan is pretty bland here. Lily-Rose Depp fares better. It's too bad Colin Farrell doesn't have more screentime. The set design is very futuristic and Neil Burger's direction keeps things moving.
