I am a sci-fi lover and in general I enjoy movies that have strong characters and beautiful cinematography. This has beautiful cinematography, sometimes. As I was watching it I wondered how this director or editor (or both) got this far. The premise has a lot of potential and even if you disregard the poor acting, absent character development, and weak storyline, put in the right director's hands this could have been a movie worth watching. As it stands the only reason I finished it was because the set and filming were good enough to keep me tuned in. The last thing I will say is I think the four leads are actually decent actors... Kodi might be a bit stiff but he has talent and room to grow otherwise the others are really great. That and the cinematography/set are the reason this movie got above a one. I really hate to see movies flop because I feel like if they made it through all the bureaucratic hoops and all the scrutinizing of their "product idea" they must have some sense of film making but sometimes the creative team just lose focus and produce something like The Young Ones.
On another note I guess I don't really understand the title. I know the characters are youngish but that isn't their defining attribute is it? I just don't get the title. Not that it is a big deal, just and observation!
Happy watching!
