Mentes poderosas

After reading some of the 1 star reviews I began to wonder if we were watching the same movie or if they even watched this movie at all. The movie does have a plot, decent cinematography and the acting is decent. I did not read the book but I enjoyed this movie although I wasn't the target audience. Judge it for yourself and don't allow others to guide your opinion either way.

Even though the movie may be fast paced, and may leave out parts that were in the book... it is very interesting and the characters and acting really save the show here.

Yes, the relationships weren't fully developed like in the novel , but it's hard to do that in an hour and a half long movie. I think Harris, Amandla, Skylan, and Miya really stoke the show here.

The movie FORSURE isn't oscar award winning but the amazing feelings I got while watching made up for that! Give the movie a chance and don't listen to the Uber negative reviews! Give the movie a chance because if you do, I can guarantee you will enjoy it(:

The book is probably better. This YA story is derivative and generic, and it manages to telegraph who the baddie is much earlier than it means to. Amandla Stenberg is pretty good as star Ruby (she also played Rue in the Hunger Games), but the movie feels more like a cheapie you'd find on ABC Family Channel.

I mean, no, it doesn't really bring anything new to the table. But by itself, it's a pretty decent movie with nice special effects and a beautiful score by Benjamin Wallfisch

I think they did a pretty good job. Sure it wasn't revolutionary good or didn't show anything we haven't seen but it was good on it's own. And They made me want more.
