| A Story with Heart (by avragovic) |
| If you love stories with romance, friendship, action, powers, and overcoming one's fears, along with humor, diversity, and dystopias, I highly recommend seeing this movie and then reading the book series with the same name.I think teenagers will love this movie especially but this movie is also incredibly timely in a time where kids are taken away from their parents and kids and young adults stand up to fight for what's important.Also, by seeing this movie you can feel good about supporting diversity, female directors and female leads. |
| LOVED this film! (by jordan-paige-45516) |
| To be honest, I am not sure why lots of people dislike this film. However, I can personally say that I enjoyed this film immensely. Being a fan of the book series, I was already excited for the film's release, but was nervous about the YA novel adaptation. However, I feel that while the book and film are different in many ways as they have to be, as there are things in the novel that can't be done easily on screen , the production team did a wonderful job of making the film their own, but sticking to the novel very well. Although it seemed fast paced at times, I was eager to see what <more> |
| Fantastic! (by jordenanimelove) |
| I love the characters so much and the acting was fantastic. Even though it was fast paced and seemed slightly rushed at times, it kept you on the edge of your seat. The young kids stole the show and I was impressed it's their acting. Find out if you like the movie for yourself and don't listen to all the negative reviews. The movie is being judged to harshly and I believe it is better than most of the critics think. |
| When I was 12 years old I would have loved this movie... (by mattcurtis-50459) |
| ...now I'm 45 and guess what? From ET and The Gonnies to Harry Potter and Stranger Things I've enjoyed this genre of Sci-Fi/fantasy TV and movies. Nothing warms my heart more than the riteouus innocence of youth vs the cruelty and bitterness of "grown ups". Likely another serial, in the same vein of Hunger Games or Maze Runner but hey, why not? Sure give this a score of 5 if you want then complain it's not original enough or the acting isn't worthy of an Oscar! -or- Like me, smile and be thankful that someone's still making movies like this, movies that remind us <more> |
| Good Adaptation (by ingridpgay) |
| I read the Darkest Minds series and immediately fell in love with it! Before seeing the movie, I thought it was going to be a horrible adaptation and get everything wrong. However, it was way more accurate than I thought. Any added details just made it better and more enjoyable! Some parts that were eliminated or changed weren't as good as the book but still carried the plot and emotion that came with it. I left the theater hoping that they make the second and third so that I can experience more and see more of my favorite characters. Overall I am very happy with my trip to the movies. |
| Really enjoyed the movie (by icechips-185-14175) |
| Saw some low ratings & wondered why. Thought the characters were well thought out and believable. The interaction between Ruby, Liam, Chubb & Zu was great, but I did wonder why Zu didn't speak I missed the 1st 5 minutes, so maybe it was in there why . The 'world' was different. I even cried at the end. I read it was an adaptation, I was wondering because, although the movie finished, there was enough left over for there to be a part 2. |
| I liked it (by ssmith-81207) |
| I'm not sure why everyone is bashing this movie. It's a YA dystopian film if you don't like those than why go see it? It was exactly what I expected. I thought the acting was good. Not stellar but hey they are kids! Yes it was predictable but all movies are any more. Nothing genuinely new has been made in years. This at least has some different takes on old themes. Wish I had known it was a book because I would have read it first. |
| A film full of heart (by rubyscaledonia) |
| The movie will definitely please the fans of the book, but thankfully it's not a requirement to read the book to enjoy/understand the story and its world. TDM has a wonderful cast of actors who fully embody their roles, and the love interest Liam doesn't fall into the usual line of creepy, over-controlling male leads trope boys who actually respect girls and respect their power/independence? Who knew? . Some of the jokes/moments fell flat for me, and some parts were cheesy, but the core of the film is a group of scared kids finding a home and solace within one another - and it <more> |
| Better than expected (by samalarae) |
| I've read all the books, and I know the book readers are always the toughest critics, but they always fail to give credit where it is needed. Turning a book that takes 10 hours to read into a 2 hr movie is tough, and although this movie moved quick and left out some minor character details from the book, it was great. The acting and directing was well done. I recommend giving it a chance with having an open mind. |
