The central characters are a sort of junior league X-Men, six genetically modified young orphans who, thanks to their avian DNA, have the ability to fly. Derivative to such a degree that it seems almost a parody of its genre that has lost significant box-office steam, Maximum Ride is so ineptly executed that it might as well feature its own Mystery Science Theater soundtrack.
Other than Evans, who displays some charisma and as much skin as possible with a PG rating as the sharp-tongued teen protagonist, the performers are wooden and unexpressive. But their failed efforts are stellar compared to the special effects, with the numerous flying sequences making those in the original Superman TV series seem cutting edge by comparison.

Top review. Just NO!! I loved the book series so when I found out there was going to be a film I couldn't wait. Them I watched the film and felt as though someone had just thrown the book on the floor and jumped on it before brutally bashing it with a sledgehammer.
In the book the main six characters had a great chemistry that was just non-existent in the film, they didn't even say Fang's name. Not once!!! How are people who haven't read the books supposed to know!!!! That morning, while everyone else sleeps, Max leaves the cabin. Ari confronts her and seems about to overpower her, but Fang grabs him, flies him into the air, and slams him into the ground. The Flock stands together, only for more Erasers to emerge from the woods. Ari turns on a noise device that causes the Flock to collapse in pain, and Max can only watch as they're captured one by one.
They recover at the School, in cages, but are initially overjoyed to find Angel. He escorts her to an empty white room, where Jeb is waiting. Jeb offers her chocolate chip cookies, but she no longer trusts him, realizing that he never really rescued them, and their safe house in the woods was a test all along.
He tells her that she was created to help people and save the world, but now that they know the truth, they must remain at the School. He shows her a note hidden beneath the cookies that says "You don't know everything.
Trust me. Max leaves the room. In his rage, he doesn't notice her stealing his key card. Meanwhile, one of the whitecoats is secretly reporting on Jeb to another authority, saying that Jeb may be too emotional and attached. The woman she's talking to says that the Flock is expendable, but dangerous and must be controlled.
Ari returns to the cage room to taunt Max, but this time Max has unlocked her cage and jumps on him, pummeling him. She hands the key card to Iggy before Ari chases her out of the room. The Flock escapes from their cages and Nudge knocks out the building's power, while Gazzy creates a bomb. Ari and the Erasers corner Max, only to be caught in the explosion of the Flock's bomb.
Jeb arrives, searching for Ari in the debris, as the Flock stands watching. Jeb pleads with Max, telling her she doesn't understand, but she tells him "the Experiment's over" and opens her wings. Afterwards, the Flock walks through the woods.
They pause and Max comforts Angel, only to collapse. She sees a vision of events throughout the movie, of child Ari moving to stab her with the scissors, and of New York City.
When she awakens, she describes it to the Flock and they decide to go to New York City to look for more answers. The final shot is of a video playing over and over again, of Max's final words to Jeb: "The experiment's over.
