This movie has some pretty famous young actors in it. I'm pretty surprised lol. Anyway, this was really honestly not that good and there was so much over the top and bad CG.
Dani Moonstar is a native American girl orphaned after a tornado destroys her community and kills her entire family. She is taken to a hospital to learn to control her mutant powers, but the hospital hides some dark secrets.
With Dani are 4 other young mutants and their caretaker, Dr Reyes. The girl from Witch, Arya Stark and the older brother in Stranger Things are the "big" names in this movie. I felt like the mystery and the technology were really well done and interesting, but the whole thing is really a very slowly paced film with overt and terrible-looking CG. This movie sold as a horror superhero movie but it's only capable of jump scares. I can't remember any good music in this film either to complement the story.
There was an unexpected romance in the film that I thought was really cute, but it was way too quick. I thought about them being teenagers locked in a building and it sold it a bit more but still...
The charaters' powers are all pretty crazy and powerful which makes sense really in the context of the film but it was a bit over the top them trying to outdo each other. I felt like the climax of the movie was really underwhelming and relied a bit on more power of friendship elements we find a lot in anime. I didn't really like that.
I also thought that Rahne's character was stupid. She's a werewolf but transforms just into a wolf like an actual dog. Her mid transformation form is much more powerful. Additionally they CG her some dog ears. Why not just get her prosthetics?
This would be a fun film to watch with friends but not in cinemas, not for the cost of the ticket. Especially when Logan is the previous film, it's disappointing to have this be the finale.
