The Darkest Minds | Reviews
15%141 reviews
When The Darkest Minds name-checks Harry Potter, it adopts a specific
strategy. Openly comparing itself to JK Rowling’s famous franchise, the film calls out its own flaws – its similarities with other YA adaptations, namely – before someone else can. Or, at least that’s what the latest page-to-screen dystopian effort would like to think. Full review Based on Alexandra Bracken’s YA novel, The Darkest Minds is set in a world where 90% of children have been wiped out. The fascist government rounds up the surviving youths, fearful because they all suddenly possess psychic abilities. Escaping a brutal internment camp, powerful 16-year-old Ruby (Amandla Stenberg) teams up with electricity-wielding Zu (an underutilised Miya Cech), uber-brainy comedy sidekick Chubs (Skylan Brooks), and telekinetic, charisma-free block of wood Liam (Harris
Dickinson). Full review There's a lot that's confusing or poorly set up. That's a script problem, but also a lack of emotional direction and momentum. Full review Borrows nearly all its ingredients from other popular sci-fi franchises - from "X-Men" to "Stranger Things" - and doesn't much seem to mind if kids recognise how derivative it is...Flicks, Sarah Ward

The New York Times
"The Darkest Minds" plays like a lightning round in which the goal is to hit as many teenage-dystopia tropes as possible.

The Guardian
The pieces of a potential franchise are put in play here without stakes being raised or pulses quickened.

Stuff
A depressingly formulaic collection of young adult fantasy movie tropes.

Hollywood Reporter
A by-the-numbers YA dystopia.

Empire Magazine
The Darkest Minds boasts a decent cast and a fairly interesting premise centred on likeable characters. But its banality squashes any potential it had, resulting in a safe, forgettable sci-fi.

Associated Press
About five years and 15 movie dystopias too late to feel the least bit fresh or interesting.
