The film isn't exactly terrible but its most certainly unfulfilled and really could have left a stronger impression. I feel like parts of the film and scenes were left on the cutting room floor. Another powerful possessed corpse is a revenant, these are usually possessed by a demon of pride or of desire. Its a misfire really, and the film needed to be much better and have a stronger central message. When a pride demon takes control of the corpse of a mage, an arcane horror is born, possessing all the spellcasting abilities of a living mage, as well as possessing the ability to heal and even command other animated corpses. The film is littered with talented people but unfortunately the writing and the structure of the film really lets them down. The ending of the film leaves much more to be desired there needed to be more explanation onto what the reveal was and anything about repercussions. In the book the character is mysterious has a much larger effect on Mae's life. John Boyega's character is a glorified cameo that seems to just be there as a big name. I was more concerned with things being introduced into the film that have no real importance later in the film. The plot may seem like its minimal or nonexistent but this wasn't really my concern. First off, I will say that the scathing reviews I've seen for the film are somewhat unwarranted, however the film is far from perfect and could have been much better. The thing is, the technological leap of the company leads to massive privacy concerns and the company seems to be capable of more than what initially meets the eye. Emma Watson plays Mae Holland an ambitious young customer service rep who joins The Circle, a cutting edge technology based company that seems to be growing at fast pace and changing the future.
However, I held out hope that the film would be able to impress, especially with the star studded cast at the helm. To my disappointment, the film wasn't as interesting an got to bogged down to its technological ventures and wasn't exactly the best read. When The Circle was announced as a film I immediately checked out the book. The film adaptation also did not disappoint. It was a fantastic read for enjoyment and to analyze. I was a big fan of Dave Eggers' A Hologram for the King.
