There are a few good trailers for films which I may just watch. Released by the same company. I like the music that's playing on the menu screen. This is a SciFi drama. Jonas is a teenage boy coming to the end of his college days. At the graduation ceremony the teens are given their roles. It is set in the post apocalyptic future. Mankind has decided to start over. The Elders watch over everything. New rules are in place. Good cinematography. Lots of stock footage representing the history of mankind. In the new society everything is monochrome. It has scenes in colour too. If you like Equilibrium, Inception, Hunger Games, Ender's Game then you should see this. Beautiful soundtrack. Jonas gets training from The Giver. He must harvest all the memories and advise the people on difficult situations. I was not sure what to expect. The girl friend Fiona is pretty, looks like Mila Kunis. Brenton was in Snow White And The Huntsman. He is cute. It is emotional and sentimental. I recommend this film.
