Review of The Darkest Minds (2018) by Ghostdreamshade — 02 Aug 2018

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them (especially the protagonist, Ruby) and I found the system of powers interesting and logical.

The movie does at times feel a bit light for the dystopian world it’s set in, but I feel like it hits on some heavier themes without being grotesque, which is important for the audience it was targeting.

It wasn’t a perfect movie, of course, but I don’t think it deserves the strongly negative reviews I’ve notice. At the very least, I feel like its a movie worth seeing so you can form your own opinions.
