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