Review:
This film is amazing, full of aventure, action and romance and the plot is brilliant. it is set in such a descriptive world and the idea of the secret remaining rebels and a race of overly trusting goody-goody aliens is just genius. I loved this film and was a strong fan of Wanda, even though she was an alien. Melanie was another striking character with a will that was so strong. i did dislike Jared though and favored Ian massively!
