IGN's Matt Patches gave it 5.8 out of 10, citing its similarities to other young adult films and contrived Dauntless plot line. and some terrific character work, but it's given such uneven attention, alternately languished upon and glossed over'. The Playlist's Todd Gilchrist gave it a mixed review saying that it has 'great ideas. like a walking empathy battery, wide-open emotionally, easy to read and enormously appealing', also adding that James is 'incredibly natural onscreen'. Drew McWeeny at HitFix said, 'it helps that got Woodley and James in the leads. According to Todd Gilchrist of The Playlist, 'Woodley makes for more than uncertain enough of a hero to add detail and meaning to the implosion of this world', adding that 'there's little artifice to her performance, and the mundane honesty of her reactions create a believability that the world would otherwise lack.' Speaking of James's performance, Gilchrist adds that he 'manages the considerable accomplishment of seeming like a real grown-up man' and that he 'makes the character's transformation from hardass to collaborator seem natural, if inevitable'. Peter Debruge of Variety considered it a much better adaptation writing that, ' it shares a fair amount of DNA in common with The Hunger Games, it ranks as far superior'.
