Everyone
on the reservation dies except for Dani (Hunt) who is rescued by her father
(Beach). She escapes but collapses. When she comes to she is in an institution
for young mutants with developing powers. Ilyana (Taylor-Joy) is mean and
racist, Roberto (Zaga) is rich and sexist, Sam (Heaton) is nice, Rehn
(Williams) is kind and befriends Dani. Dr Reyes (Braga) watches over them all,
teaches them to develop and control their powers and disciplines them harshly
though treats them lovingly.
Dani
doesn’t know what her power is yet, but when the other mutants start suffering
visitations by their horrible past experiences, they start blaming Dani, saying
her power is to invade their minds,
The film got many hatefully bad reviews on IMDb, claiming bad acting, bad writing, bad story, bad everything. I say, bad judgment. I like it! Connections to the X-men, sure, but that is not a bad thing. The characters are good, the story is good, the acting is good, the writing is at least as good as in many other films of this kind. I truly do not understand the viciousness of the bad reviews. What’s your problem, people?
