The
Darkest Minds was a surprisingly enjoyable movie. This movie is about a group
of children who now have superpowers after a virus wipes out 98% of the world’s
kids. Amandla Stenberg gives a great performance. She plays the vulnerable side
of her character extremely well. Harris Dickinson gives a really good
performance and has a believable chemistry with Stenberg. Miya Cech gave a good
performance, especially for a character who never speaks. Skylan Brooks was a
lot of fun as the sidekick of the group and was given a few standout character
moments. Jennifer Yuh Nelson did a great job directing her live-action debut.
The action sequences are thrilling and extremely well done. The script, while
it definitely has weaker moments, is filled with enough likable characters to
keep you invested. However, the romance events got particularly cheesy at
times. At 105 minutes the movie moves at a good pace overall. The first and
third acts are very strong. The second act does slow down quite a bit, but
never to the point of boredom. Overall The Darkest Minds was a lot of fun and I
would gladly watch the possible sequels.
6/10
