    Movie trailers or adaptations that I watch before discovering that they were based on books. Applies to the Expanse, The Darkest Minds trilogy, the Shadow and Bones trilogy, Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom, and a number of others.

    could be either depending on the day and your headspace which is also true of YA dystopia, but I liked The Darkest Minds way better (books not movie!!)

  • JY the Woman @all-in-my-mind.bsky.socialBluesky · Mar 19, 2026

    The Darkest Minds feels like a movie that should have been a series instead, the movie just doesn't have enough to be interesting. This released as the YA novel movie adaptation craze and Hollywood's obsession with post apocalyptic movies was dying down. (1/2)

    I saw The Darkest Minds in a theater, and it was 90% empty, but some couple with a kid were there, and that kid said, right at the romantic climax of the movie, "Why is this movie so long?" And you know what? I didn't disagree.

    Just finished The Darkest Minds movie following The Darkest Minds book. I liked several of the visual choices, but the story deviations not as much. I'd watch the next one, but apparently it won't be made. This one didn't make enough millions at the box office.

    It's not a HQ film but I enjoy it mostly cause of the fire chem between the leads. It's like with Twilight or I Am Number Four or The Darkest Minds... mid movies where you can turn off the world and enjoy it on a shallow, easy level. #Romance #movie ( #DangerousLiaisons in 🇫🇷 on #Netflix).

    Really bad, the kind of thing that probably at least would have been commercially succesful about five years ago, but now? Ends up not only a box office lightweight, but also a failure of a story. Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.

    Darkest Minds: Rainbow They grow slightly older and have kids. Some of those kids are new colours. I like purple. Purple is cool.
