I think this is such a good movie. I can really connect to the story. The story is so well told. I hope there will be a second movie or a sequel. That would be so awesome!

"The Darkest Minds" is a mythical-style action-adventure film that seems to resonate more with teenagers and young adults, offering a creative narrative and a new world that viewers can immerse themselves in.
I found the film to be quite enjoyable, although perhaps not the absolute best in its genre. I would say it's a solid film that deserves more recognition than it received. Unfortunately, it struggled at the box office, which led to its premature exit from theaters, preventing it from gaining the traction needed to develop into a franchise.
This film is also where my admiration for Harris Dickinson began. He really showcased his talent and delivered a strong performance, sharing the screen with Mandy Moore, who brings her undeniable charm to every role she takes on. Even in more serious moments, her presence feels warm and inviting, making her a standout in any cast.
On the other hand, I believe Amandla Stenberg's performance contributed to the film's challenges. While I don’t want to label her as a bad actress, I feel that her portrayal often lacks the energy and depth that could elevate the film, especially when compared to her co-stars. This inconsistency can detract from the overall experience, even if it may not be obvious to the average viewer.
That being said, I don’t think she detracts entirely from the film. She does bring necessary elements to her character, but the movie ultimately suffered from not achieving the success it deserved. I encourage you to check it out and give it a chance. Perhaps one day it will find new life on a platform like Netflix, leading to a revival or even a continuation of the story. However, it might be too late for a full revival unless a complete rework with a new cast is undertaken. Regardless, "The Darkest Minds" isn’t as bad as many have suggested, so it's worth a viewing.

Our family very much enjoyed this film & would like to see additional ones made with the same cast developed into a series. Their individual character traits, personalities, & slow but continous introduction of such, their diverse backgrounds, & unique gifts is fun to watch as they grow into a family. Together they are learning about themselves & each other, in how they communicate, work, play, their sense of humor & life as a hole. We would like to see more with this cast.
Critics are correct in that this film is similar to others in some ways. However, it it nice to have a bit less blood, violence, & profanity. There is an opportunity for more character development, creativity, & imagination with these characters, their relationships, stories, memories, trust, commitment, & loyalty. Love conquers all. Violence only begets more violence. Life is not without it's challeges, but we humans often make it harder than what it already is.
We choose to believe there would be more traits like those via the Rainey family on "Homestead Rescue" & the people they work along side. Life is not souly about survival but being able to thrive, enjoy the lives we live with the ones we love, & share this life with. This film is not the "100, Maze Runner, Divergent," & the like. This has the beginnings to become something more. Please consider doing additional films. Don't be so quick to judge & sell it short of its potential. Fear is a liar & those who buy it, often react impulsively. We live in a great nation where creativity & imagination is encouraged at a young age. Why try to conceal it with panic, fear, hopelessness, desperation, narcism, & self defeating nonsense. Do not put limitations on yourselves or others. No one can hinder us from learning or growing but ourselves. Strive for continuous improvement, & never stop learning or growing. Thank you kindly.
