The film's photography, screen presentation, editing and story rhythm are all beneficial. In particular, the details of the pictures clearly demonstrate the ability of director Jennifer Yuh to tell stories with pictures. Some scene design, visual effects are also meticulous. There is no doubt that the script of the film is suspected of fried rice. The plot of the story is like looking for gems in the beach. There are occasional unexpected turns, but it is only the point, and there is no further digging. Although it is a fictional story, there are some puzzling logic holes in the film. As for the core emotional theme in the film, there is still room for more refinement and closer to reality in terms of plot and character characterization.
Without diluting the action scenes in the film, director Jennifer Yuh deliberately weakened the concept of disturbing the audio-visual, so that young audiences will not be misled by superpowers, but can focus more on the heroine and see how she overcomes her lack of self-confidence. Embrace what makes you special.
"The Darkest Minds" is such a formulaic hodgepodge of plots that it can't help but feel insulting to the audience, and it's just a way of showing how adults try to manipulate children.
What's left of The Darkest Minds is a crazy dystopian adaptation with no depth, no new ideas, and no meaning.
