Uglies (2024) was an absolute rollercoaster! As someone who didn’t read the books, I went in with zero expectations, and wow—it delivered. The world-building was fascinating, and the movie’s pacing kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Joey King completely owned the role of Tally, and her character's journey was so captivating. The inner conflict she faced felt real and powerful. Visually, the film was stunning—the contrast between the "ugly" and "pretty" worlds was brilliantly done. The themes about beauty, identity, and society's pressures hit hard, but they were handled in a way that felt relatable rather than preachy. The soundtrack deserves its own shout-out—it elevated every scene, making the emotional moments hit even harder. Honestly, I had a blast watching Uglies. It was a fun mix of action, thought-provoking concepts, and a touch of emotional depth. Whether you’ve read the books or not, this movie is definitely worth checking out!
