Remarkably dumb and drawn out

Warning: Spoilers
I saw this movie at an IMAX theater for $4 as part of T-Mobile promotion. It honestly was only barely worth that. The entire movie was extremely predictable and just plain stupid. I don't know if it's accurate to the book and I haven't seen the other parts of the series, but the script was just ridiculous.

The ending climax scene just had me shaking my head at how nonsensical it was (let's not bother to back up the hovercraft another foot or two for dramatic effect). And apparently no one knows how to perform basic first aid.. inside of a hospital? The cliche and overdone "ha you missed.." "DID I?" scene that I saw coming from a mile away. The evil bad man character that is so one-dimensional.

Really it seemed like every single scene was a parody of every other teen movie because the script was so poor.

And holy hell did they draw out the scenes that were meant to be "sad" but just fell completely flat.. one of the deaths stretched on for 10min even though his character was barely in the rest of the movie and had no importance.

On the other end of the spectrum the movie killed off a main character for the most ridiculous reason that was entirely avoidable if the characters weren't complete idiots, and no one seemed to care about her pointless death.

All in all it's just a mind-numbingly stupid teen zombie movie with a bunch of artificial action sequences stuffed in. Worth renting and falling asleep to I suppose, or Netflix and chill?
