Skylan Brooks, Amandla Stenberg, Harris Dickinson, and Miya Cech in The Darkest Minds (2018)
When teens mysteriously develop powerful new abilities, they are declared a threat by the government and detained. Sixteen-year-old Ruby, one of the most powerful young people anyone has encountered, escapes her camp and joins a group of runaway teens seeking safe haven. Soon this newfound family realizes that, in a world in which the adults in power have betrayed them, running is not enough and they must wage a resistance, using their collective power to take back control of their future.

    • Goofs
      It's explained that all adults moved to the big cities. And really, the places the kids go are so deserted they can roam about freely in broadest daylight without keeping guard (which is why they're surprised by a bounty hunter - twice). Yet Ruby's parents still live in the same house.
    • Quotes

      Ruby Daly: Soon there wouldn't be any kids anywhere. The government wasn't afraid of what happened to the ones that didn't make it. They were afraid of us, because the ones that survived changed.

    What's up with the bad reviews?
    I mean, no, it doesn't really bring anything new to the table. But by itself, it's a pretty decent movie with nice special effects and a beautiful score by Benjamin Wallfisch

    FAQ1

    • The film's ending strongly suggests the story has hardly even begun, so is there going to be a sequel?
