I Am Shocked At Just How Terrible Uglies' Reviews Are — Why You Need To Give The Netflix Dystopian Movie Another Chance

Uglies is a 2024 Netflix movie that did not receive the greatest reviews, and while it's not the best thing to come out in the 2020s, it deserves a little more love. An adaptation of Scott Westerfeld's novel of the same name, Uglies centers on a post-apocalyptic dystopian society where humanity has exhausted the Earth's natural resources. In their attempts to solve this crisis, scientists have also found a way to surgically enhance humans, increasing their fitness and physical appearance. These "Pretties", as they are called, are said to have solved prejudice and discrimination.
