I went with this for the first half hour - it was pared back, laid back, but fine, with a strong cast. Around half an hour in it started to wobble then got sillier and sillier and ended up a boring mess.
So much felt not real - this company paying a fortune for these teens to run experiments, the teens getting drunk and breaking in, the vagueness of the villain's goals ("world domination!").
Why is the government bad for wanting control over this? What was the original cut? Could it have been better?
Maybe if the film had started with Miles Teller on the run. Maybe if it had embraced the kids at school concept and done a teen movie version.
I do feel it would have been a better movie with one third the budget.
