For:Readers interested in film criticism and fans of Neil Burger's films

 Action, adventure, fantasy genre that, to be honest, doesn't fully convince, too many expectations for a film that is compared to "Hunger Games" on all fronts but has very little of it, except the classic training phase but certainly not the special effects, nor the costumes, which are sparse, nor the feelings that are almost non-existent, except for those who cannot do without the love story filled with predictability.

 Overall, just an entertainment movie and a great missed opportunity.
