Lightning warning

Stepping on the thunder again, as a dystopian teen movie doesn't capture the depth of that?

The theme of "Dark Mind" itself is actually very good. It is another dystopian post-apocalyptic film after the "Maze Runner" trilogy. Its story takes into account both entertainment and depth. The story tells that in the not-too-distant future, an inexplicable disease will invade the United States. In just a few months, 98% of children will die mysteriously. The lucky survivors have special skills. Because of these superhuman skills, the children are mysteriously imprisoned by the government in concentration camps. Adults are afraid of these special children and feel threatened. Some parents are forced to abandon their children. In the name of "curing" these children, adults put the surviving children in concentration camps, controlled by the military. Depending on the skills, the children are classified into threat levels by color.

The movie contains elements such as science fiction, apocalypse, action, thriller, love, etc. The development of the film should be easy to start, but it is such a good hand that has been smashed alive. At the beginning of the film, the rhythm was tight, and the dark temperament was prominent, but the random atmosphere turned sharply, turning the escape of the journey into a youth love film. The love line, and even the love triangle part, is handled in a somewhat common and boring way. As the first part of "Dark Mind", there is no need to lay out the love line so quickly.

The second half of the video is even more illogical! ! (I got mad when I saw half of it) Inexplicably, the scene where the heroine was almost raped was inserted, and then the real face of the boss was revealed through computer communication. The heroine and her party did not have time to use the computer. I ran away with everyone, so this paragraph became meaningless. Is it just to give the heroine and her party a logical reason to escape? Having said that, the gang of the heroine has decided to run away for this reason, and the drama that has paved the way for many of the heroine's companions to become suspicious is even more powerless to complain! In the end, the female protagonist didn't make it, and as soon as she got to the door, she happened to see the boss with the army to hunt down the children?
