Thomas T This movie was horrible. An hour and 40 minutes of my life that I’ll never get back. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/25 Full Review Cass L I very much enjoyed this movie! The plot followed close to the book, the appearance of the Pretty's was VERY close to how I saw them in my mind when reading the books. Props for that! If you haven't read any of the books, then the CGI appearances of the characters are gonna make you think that the Pretty's looks are over done. In the books, the surgery to become a Pretty is supposed to NOT look natural. 'They have Anime Eyes', is a reference out of the book, because the eyes are one of many unnatural features. The whole point of being a Pretty, is to not look like your original self, and Ugly, but to look like the you that you think you should look like. 'In a world where everyone is Pretty, everyone is happy', is basically the governments whole spiel, to stop war and conflict, when the reality is actually brainwashing from a young age that being Pretty is what saved the world, and at 16 they get the surgery with a bonus brain surgery to make you 100% compliant and get told who they are, what to think, feel, believe, etc. The Smoke, are rebels who renounce that way of thinking and life, and chose to be their own authentic selves, free from government control. There was heavy focus on the villian, because it was necessary for the set up of the WHOLE series. It goes far deeper than just Cable and her involvement in everything. The focus put on her helps draw your attention to the plot of the government, makes you question, 'Is there more to this character? Or is it the position of power she holds, maybe?' It is the position of power Cable holds that the focus is ACTUALLY on, not Cable herself, so don't get confused think they put too much focus on her, that was by design. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/25 Full Review Alyssa C not so bad movie but definitely wasn’t the best, was better reading Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review chad M Holy crap this was a bad movie. I like some really cheesy sci-fi and this was intolerable. Wow. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Adam Q It’s unlikely to be the best movie you’ll see this year, but overall, it’s an enjoyable and easy watch with a solid plot. However, the CGI is a major drawback, with some scenes looking downright dreadful—enough to make you reconsider wanting to be "pretty" if it means looking like some of these characters! The acting is hit-and-miss, with some performances feeling overdone and others lacking impact. A more understated approach to the villain could have improved the overall balance. If you’re a fan of sci-fi, you’ll likely find it entertaining. But if you’re looking for a hard-hitting, emotional film that leaves a lasting impression, this one might not hit the mark. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Aroha H The concept of the movie is a little interesting. World is about to end, therefore dumb people down where the government has full control of society and there's no subjective morality to cause havoc. I gave this movie 1 star rating because the ending was so so so so bad. The ending leaves you having, and feeling confused as to what the movie is actually portraying, what really is the movie's message? You're made to think that throughout the whole movie, being "pretty" is meaningless and not the focus in life, and that what really matters is the inside of a person, their will, personality, relationships, etc. But the ending ends with a sad reality of the main character taking the surgery and being "pretty"... what? What was the point of the whole thing. What is this movie promoting exactly? It's disgusting. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Read all reviews
