Have you seen the Fox series ''Gifted'' that ties to the X-Men franchise? It demands more time but it's kind of the same deal and it's way better.

What really seems to me like a remix of the movie "Divergent" (which isn't a good thing), The Darkest Minds, focuses on a very forced love story, forcing even more a triangle than actually focusing on children dying over something that gives the survivors powers.

Instead it turns into a generic, boring and heavily cliched movie, with corny dialogue that will make you roll your eyes until you have a migraine.

There is absolutely NO RESOLUTION to any plot lines, making this feel like a 104 minute long introduction to a sequel. But let's be honest here, will a sequel really happen?… Expand

Its like they tried to pack a TV series into a film. The main character's parents forget who she is and 2 seconds later she's being picked up by dudes in biohazard suits? The country is post-apocalyptic because there aren't any children? TheIts like they tried to pack a TV series into a film.

The open ending indicating a sequel...yeah right. Don't bother watching this. It should have been dumped on Netflix.… Expand

Une grosse merde woke avec un agenda SJW à la clé, à savoir de la diversité forcenée de partout, tout le temps (des gens de couleur partout, tout le temps) et des préoccupations de justice sociale à deux dollars et demi (on est ‘différent’,Une grosse merde woke avec un agenda SJW à la clé, à savoir de la diversité forcenée de partout, tout le temps (des gens de couleur partout, tout le temps) et des préoccupations de justice sociale à deux dollars et demi (on est ‘différent’, on est donc persécuté ! salauds de société naz… etc, etc).

En l’occurrence, ces ados mutants et leurs pouvoirs surhumains, un thème déjà vu parmi la licence foisonnante X-Men mais traitée ici sans nuance et victimisée au maximum : l’on erre ici comme des étagères cassées en pleine crise des droits civiques des mutants à la mords-moi-le-noeud…

C’est tout simplement insupportable à regarder, à entendre et à suivre… nous nous rebellons instinctivement devant ce film-étron, lequel s’avère par ailleurs chiant, chiatique et complètement con et nul à chier, de toute façon ! une daube wokiste de plus qui donne la nausée avec sa propagande nauséabonde d’extrême-gauche.… Expand

Stupid, dull, lame, generic, unoriginal, cliched, cringe-worthy, soulless X-Men, Hunger Games, Maze Runner, Divergent, and Twilight rip-off. This is the most generic YA novel adaptation ever.

This is the most generic YA novel adaptation ever. This is pandered to post-millennials. This was one of the worst movies of 2018. The acting from the cast is bad and with a horrible cast like this, you shouldn’t be surprised. The action is dull. The visual effects are terrible. The writing is horrific. The directing is terrible. The characters are so painfully generic and uninteresting. The cast is horrible. This movie has Amandla Stenberg and Mandy Moore in it, so it was always guaranteed to suck. They’re both terrible actresses, especially Stenberg. Amandla Stenberg is an annoying, boring, and untalented actress who has absolutely no charisma at all. She is also very wooden.
I am so happy that this horrible movie bombed so hard at the box office. If it bombed really hard with critics, then it definitely deserved to bomb really hard at the box office. The Darkest Minds is nothing more a super generic and very unoriginal snooze-fest was that copies a lot of other YA adaptations. The movie was a bore fest and with that god-awful cast, it was also a dork fest. This movie is so cliched that it is cringe-worthy and the characters are so stereotypical.Oh, and the ending is stupid.… Expand
