Went and saw this tonight, and not sure if I want to agree or disagree to the OP. Girlfriend wanted to go so said alright, haven't read the book but the premise looked interesting (kinda reminds me of the island in a way). There are some cool things but holy hell do they not explain anything in either the book or the movie?
I feel like this movie ended on a cliffhanger, literally. There is no explanation of what happens next or how they got there to begin with. Does the book go into detail here or is it just an interesting premise that fires on zero cylinders?
They have the technology to create a location based memory wiping system that is thwarted by a specific person, chosen at random, walking across it?
Specific people can convey memories by touch based on a tattoo/birthmark on ones wrist?
They have the technology to build said city with 100% climate control, but can't geo-tag people in it with remote kill (sorry, 'moved on to elsewhere') capability to prevent said memory bubble bursting?
Technology to create UAV's with real time control and atractor beam

There's no magic wall that gives everyone their memory back in the book. I'm pretty sure they originally filmed the movie to be like the book, then went back and added tons of scenes with the kid and his friends to make it more of a typical a YA movie.
The first book does indeed end on the same cliffhanger as far as Jonas and the baby are concerned, but only Jonas's memories go back to the community at the end. There's a few other books afterwards.
