Les insoumis

« The environment in which stories like The Hunger Games or Divergent gained followings has changed, and The Darkest Minds has not adapted to survive it. »

« What we're left with is a Mad-Libs version of a dystopian YA adaptation done by someone who saw half of an X-Men movie on TV once, with no depth, no new ideas, and no point. »

« You've seen these post-apocalyptic, super-powered teens before, but strong performances and smart direction give this flick a kick. »

« Kung Fu Panda 2 director Jennifer Yuh Nelson adapts nicely to the world of live action, though she should have picked a less derivative project than this generic YA movie about kids with special powers. »

« It may all be pretty thinly imagined stuff compared to the travails of Katniss (to say nothing of her more mature ancestors in sci-fi/fantasy), but for those who happen to be turning 14 or 15 as this hits theaters, it may suffice. »

« The Darkest Minds feels like it perhaps should have come out five years ago. »

« If we hadn't already been down this road so many times there might be more fun to be had with The Darkest Minds, but being a better than average attempt at an overtired genre likely won't be enough to complete the story this movie starts. »

« Tournant avec un budget relativement modeste, Jennifer Yuh Nelson orchestre le tout avec compétence, mais sans grand éclat ni souci d'originalité. »
