The Darkest Minds (闇黑之心) is an 2018 film. The movie stars Amandla Stenberg and Harris Dickinson. The supporting cast include Skylan Brooks, Miya Cech, Mandy Moore, and Gwendoline Christie. This is also Jennifer Yuh Nelson's first live action film as a director. Yay!
In the future, kids gain super powers and segregated from the rest. The kids are divided up into sub groups based on their power level. When Ruby Daly is brought in, she displays some awesome powers. Green is the most harmless, whereas she's an orange. Someone that can do many things including mind manipulations. Rudy escapes the camp with the help of an underground organization trying to free the children. Along the way, Rudy doesn't feel right about the group and ditches them and bumps into another group looking for a safe haven for escaped children. Chased by bounty hunters because she's an Orange, the adventure begins.
Really fun film. I think my teenage daughter would enjoy this. Because I got this via T-Mobile Tuesday's Redbox Promo, I watched it solo. But I'll try to get a cheap copy for her in the future.
Yuh does a good transition from animation to live action with this film. Really well made and I really felt the emotions of the teenagers. The diversity of the cast didn't seem forced and it added to the realness of their situation. However, this movie did give me the same vibes as another movie from a year early, Logan (羅根). Kids with power trying to escape the government.
Highly recommend watching this.
