It's what's on the inside that counts, but unfortunately Uglies doesn't have much going on in there, either.

Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Everything about Uglies is average. Not terrible enough to be campy, not deep or provocative or visually impressive enough to merit further chapters in the story. Rated: 2/4 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Adrian Horton Guardian Though it supposedly argues against human beings turned into synthetic quasi-droids, Uglies feels like just another throwaway product. Rated: 1/5 Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Samantha Bergeson indieWire King can’t really play a teen anymore, and the message of non-conformity feels stale, in the YA adaptation space and beyond. This trend, much like shifting beauty standards, is already on the way out. Rated: C+ Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation A singularly heartless outing in this YA sci-fi genre Rated: 1/4 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Gracie Lowes Tell-Tale TV Despite the entire cast being extremely talented performers, the casting for Uglies feels more like a reunion for old Netflix characters than an accurate portrayal of these characters. Rated: 2/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Archika Khurana The Times of India Uglies harkens back to the wave of YA dystopian films that peaked a decade ago, and without a more unique or impactful message, it's unlikely to leave a lasting impression. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Gustavo Z This is a coning of age post apocalyptic movie that has the same blue print as any other. Acting is fair at best and VFX are mid, specially all those hoverboard scenes are really bad. There is nothing new to see and basically leaves on an expected cliffhanger that, if Netflix is smart, they won’t follow up for a second film. Everything is so predictable. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Audience Member We 've seen this story a million times. How did this get produced...? Who gave this a green light...? I think we must redefine what a B-grade movie is. An enormous budget or great casting play no role at all at this point. With how easy it is to shoot amazing content with your smartphone, great films are now made by the general public in their back yards. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Milo M One of the worst movies Ive seen. Ridiculous storyline. Couldn't even finish it. Also not a fan of the lead actress. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Joe P Everything about this movies screams nonsense. The premise, the characters, plot. How could they waste so much effort and produce something so fruitless? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Kal S A plot that is utterly formulaic and full of holes. Still, if you enjoy the dystopian genre and can laugh off the film’s flaws, it passes as tolerable entertainment, underscored by a decent theme. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Caleb M Terrible acting and plot. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
