You’ve seen these post-apocalyptic, super-powered teens before, but strong performances and smart direction give this flick a kick

The YA Dystopia of “The Darkest Minds” Isn’t as Compelling as Its Excellent Young Adults
2434d ago
'Kung Fu Panda 2' director Jennifer Yuh Nelson adapts nicely to the world of live action, though she should have picked a less derivative project than this generic YA movie about kids with special powers.
2434d ago
A wholly rote YA sci-fi adventure.

Angsty teens deserve better than the bootleg-X-Men melodrama of The Darkest Minds

The Darkest Minds is an uninspired slog of dystopian YA tropes
2434d ago
Jennifer Yuh Nelson adapts the first novel of a YA sci-fi trilogy by Alexandra Bracken in a film starring Amandla Stenberg and Mandy Moore.
2434d ago
The director, Jennifer Yuh Nelson (“Kung Fu Panda 2,” “Kung Fu Panda 3”), keeps the pace fast and the exposition flowing; the movie is almost comfortingly watchable. In her first live-action feature, she shows a flair for natural light and doesn’t lean too heavily on effects.

Amandla Stenberg and Mandy Moore star in this dystopian thriller about teenagers with superpowers attempting to escape a government internment camp
2434d ago
Six years ago, a mysterious “disease” wiped out millions of children, and survivors — found to possess superpowers considered dangerous by the government — were captured. In the present day, a teen with abilities beyond her understanding (Amandla Stenberg), has escaped and sets out to find an elusive sanctuary. But hiding won’t win this fight.
2434d ago
Contemporary YA fiction has placed itself at the forefront of social commentary on generational fears for topics ranging from endless war to the inheritance of a desiccated planet, and the depiction of internment camps for children is relevant.
2434d ago
Going to the latest dystopian YA novel adaptation used to feel more like escapist fare.

How could anyone make a film about America’s fascist leadership stealing people’s children feel this meaningless at this moment in history?
2434d ago
Everyone knows that the downfall of humanity is considerably less interesting than its recovery. How filmmakers depict the rebirth of community – and the cultures and customs that survive along the way – go a long way toward separating the good postapocalyptic films from the bad ones. This is, ultimately, the problem with The Darkest Minds.
