Box Office: Even with the relatively low $16 million budget, this dystopian sci-fi has made barely $1 million worldwide and gone straight-to-VOD in most markets. It's a bust.

Verdict: Drake Doremus' (Like Crazy, Breathe In) first stab at sci-fi romance is something of a mixed bag, serving up some gorgeous visuals and impeccable set design, but often feeling too empty to really make the most of the game Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult.

The pacing, the abundance of dialogue-free scenes and the overlong run-time stop it from really being more than a curio that doesn't meet its potential, even if fans of the director or lead actors might want to check it out.
