This movie started out pretty good. I liked the premise and everything but about halfway through it massively lost its way and you could tell that this movie was literally just for those that had read the young adult novels it was based on. The movie very much started feeling like a set up for a movie franchise instead of a stand alone movie and I pretty much lost interest knowing full well that this movie would probably end up the way of The Golden Compass or Divergent and that it would never do well enough to warrant the sequels or completion of the book series that again - I was not familiar with.
I wouldn't really recommend anyone who has not read the books bothering with this. They were not very well done in terms of being stand alone movies for the regular movie goer not familiar with the book material.
