For as long as this project has been in development it 'ought' to be more refined, I guess. But at least it's being made.

That being said, I agree with astralblak that the basic story themes of spec fic haven't evolved in quite some time. This seems to basically be a YA film with a big budget. It's cool to see a girl be the heroine for a change, but it seems like this basic story has been told hundreds of times.

The sad part is since the market doesn't support 'hard' sci-fi (Blade Runner 2046, even District 9 to a degree) like they do comic book movies or films like the Hunger Games there isn't an incentive for the studios to put money into a more innovative and imaginative stories for spec-fic movies.
