Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThroughout the entire movie, Fang's name is not said. He is the only main character out of the six kids whose name isn't mentioned in the film.
- GoofsWhen Max and Fang go to Moab, Utah (as displayed on screen), the establishing shot is actually of Salt Lake City, Utah. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) temple and downtown buildings are clear giveaways.
- Quotes
Max: I'm sorry for all the time and trouble it cost us, but I'm not sorry that I helped her. It was the right thing to do.
Fang: The... the right thing to do? Max, we're beyond worrying about the right thing to do. They experimented on us like lab rats, and now we have to run, hide and fight every day just to stay alive.

Now I'm on the ride, and it is giving me everything that the synopsis said it would give me, but it's not grabbing me like I would hope it would.
Another young adult book being adapted like Hunger games of Maze Runner, the movie is a about a group of kids that have been genetically altered with a series of test and now they have retractable wings (They barely used in the film). They escaped from their lab and now are in hiding, until one of them was found and kidnapped and now the rest have to save this child from the captives.
The movie does suffer from not having the same budget as the Divergent series, to name one, although I can't knock what they did with what they had. Not the most impressive production design, but it was effective.
I just felt that it did not gel or flow naturally at all. Maximum Ride force feeds the viewers a great story that's filled with cheesy dialog and corny acting. It was to the point that I almost felt I was watching a parody of a young adult book adaption, when I know that was not the intent of the production.
I don't want to be harsh on such a cool concept that was pretty well made from what looks like a shoe string budget in comparison, to others in its genre, but a lot of times it made me feel like I was trying my best to get through the book and finish, when sometime into it I became disinterested in doing so
