My Thoughts

The Darkest Minds is a movie about teens that begin to develop super powers. Most of their generation died during a strange illness, and they are the only survivors. The government sees them as a threat and intends to get control of them, but these kids are ready to fight back. Ruby is one of the most powerful kids, but she's able to disguise her abilities to appear less threatening. She eventually escapes and joins s group of rebels who establish a safe place for the teens to hide and come up with a survival plan.

This was a really great movie. I enjoyed it even though I'm not a teen. The characters are realistic and so are their problems. People always envy and fear that they don't have. There is plenty of action with great special effects, but also a touching love story between Ruby and Liam. The ending leaves the door open for a sequel. It's a great film the whole family can enjoy together.
