Leslie Felperin Guardian 10/21/2020
2/5
The Willy Wonka parallels are about as blatant as the nominative determinism of the mysterious benefactor's surname. Go to Full Review

3/5
It's perfectly serviceable and rather tame, a good, safe watch for tweens complete with expository ballads. Go to Full Review
Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 10/29/2020
2/5
A cheerful teen attitude infuses this sci-fi adventure with enough interest to keep us watching, even if it's never remotely challenging. Go to Full Review

3/5
...this romps along with some nice twists and turns and makes good use of its low budget special effects. Go to Full Review
Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 10/22/2020
1.5/5
Its central concept is flawed to the point of being nonsensical and it will leave many children feeling miserable. Don't try this at home, kids. Go to Full Review
Emma Simmonds The List 10/20/2020
3/5
It's no Hunger Games, nor Maze Runner, it's not even Divergent, but manages to generate suspense on a budget and work a host of relatable issues into its sci-fi story. Go to Full Review

Liana Pilar R 07/22/2024 Terrible movie pushing unethical ai narratives See more steven s 07/20/2024 The movie was an okay watch but has horrid messaging with it seemingly want to try and “fix” every single mental trauma or illness with extreme exposure therapy done in a single night no more care put into how they feel in the situation just with results to the “issue” of the five kids this is just upsetting See more Mark B 04/07/2024 The movie probably works for kids 14 and under. Its premise is somewhat derivative of Willy Wonka but with updated relatable traits and problems. You could do worse a fine TV movie. See more Yaa H 02/06/2024 So I don't know what AI tech company & Mom group sponsored this movie, because it reeks. We are supposed to swallow that the deception and suffering that happens to these teens was acceptable and positive because it happened in one night? The principle message of this movie is like a long Twilight Zone episode but not in a good way. See more Rick M 02/05/2024 Fairly profound, in a number of ways. The music was pretty good, too. See more 01/01/2022 How this movie got a 80% is baffling to me, I'm only 30 mins in and its already ripped off star wars, charlie and the chocolate factory, and a slew of other movies. This is a steaming pile of shit, I've lost faith in Rotten tomatos ratings system. Have a nice day See more Read all reviews
