Ignore What the Critics Say, You Should Watch These Underrated Movies

The Darkest Minds (2018)

This isn’t the standard teen superhero movie. After developing mysterious superpowers for seemingly no reason, Ruby gets admitted to a government-controlled concentration camp that was built to “protect” people like her. After learning that they were, in fact not, there to protect children with superpowers, Ruby escapes the government’s exploitation and joins a gang of runaways. Soon, running isn’t enough, and the runaways are forced to defend themselves from the government. This movie is gripping and creative, it’s kind of like if the Chronicle and The Hunger Games combined themselves into one movie that’s arguably better than both of them.
