We’ve all had daydreams about waking up with telekinetic powers strong enough to wrench trees from the Earth and using said abilities to evade the control of a brutal government regime. Sadly, not all of us will be able to hurl topiary around with our psyches.
Watching The Darkest Minds, however, will be a lot easier – especially since we’re giving away 20 double passes to catch the new blockbuster in cinemas nationwide.
Here’s the intel: Amandla Stenberg of The Hunger Games fame stars as a young gun blessed with god-almighty abilities. Unfortunately for her, she and and her makeshift family of super-teens are some of the only adolescents to survive a plague which decimated the planet’s population.
In a desperate bid to evade the grasp of the feds, the gang has to channel their (frankly overwhelming) powers to spark a revolution.
