Rewatchability score: (4.5/10)
On this episode of In-Between the Scenes, we step into the dystopian world of The Darkest Minds — where mysterious powers, government fear, and teenage rebellion collide. We unpack the film’s premise, its place in the young-adult sci-fi craze, and the choices that made it stand out… or fade into the shadows. From the book-to-screen changes to the performances, visuals, and world-building, we dig into whether this deserved more love — or if it was doomed from the start.
