I love sci-fi so ignored the reviews and watched it. Note - it's a movie targeted toward (perhaps pre-) teens, acted by teens. Such films are bound to be a bit - er - rough around the edges and so is this one. The writing was poor, the acting would be about the level you'd expect of the ages of the actors. It tries to set itself up for a sequel, but that won't happen with these people in charge! The storyline was somewhat interesting. All in all, not as bad as most of the existing reviews state, but I could have probably spent my time in a more productive manner!

Not as bad as most of its reviews, but certainly not good!
Be a monster to kill a monster
SPOILERS IF POSSIBLE
This is another kids save the world film. There is a Skyark where all humans reside In what amounts to shaky plot points. Some were sent back to earth which we destroyed, but apparently not fully. There are monsters or human mutants there. They are cannibals who feed off of exiled children of the rebels. We discover that Skyark is some sort of prison for all of mankind, apparently some kind of metaphor for government control/regulations. They also manufacture the monsters and put them on earth so people will want to remain in Skyark whose orbit is either in space or it hovers low in the sky, depending on the camera angle. Apparently another metaphor for government creating situations that would make the people want more government.
The film was low budget and the child acting was far from good. The lines were as confusing and ill delivered as was the plot. It appears as if they made a film from a video game where plot details are meaningless with killing obstacles and achieving a goal is the whole point.
Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity. Violence with minimum blood. Go watch "Maze Runner" or "The Giver" or something with Tom Cruise instead.
The movie is so bad even a spoiler can't spoil it for anyone
The movie is supposed to be futuristic but the way it's made it looks dated and old. The actors are young and inexperienced (I hope so) The story is boring and predictable but is presented in most chaotic manner. The CGI effects are basic and poor quality. If you want to make a low budget movie - I don't think science fiction is a good option.
Now my opinion on the movie - It's kind of movie where you wish there was a negative ranking on IMDb. Where you can give a movie -2 or -3 because there is hardly anything good in the movie and it's full of mistakes, awful acting and cheap CGI. It can become the 'Room' one day and people might start watching it as it's so bad. The minimum length of review on IMDb is 10 lines otherwise just the word 'awful' will do sufficient job in describing this movie. As previous reviews mention - if you are having difficulties sleeping - this is a good movie to put on. You can get around your friends and family and have a laugh watching this as well. Enough said.
