Description: The genre dominance of youth media in the early 2010s was undeniably dystopian. Starting in 2012 with The Hunger Games, and finally hitting theaters in 2014 with Divergent, The Keepers of the Memory, and The Maze Runner. All of the above film adaptations of dystopian young adult novels flocked to cinemas and sent enthusiastic fans racing straight to their seats. Scott Westerfeld’s book series Uglies was a staple of these titles back in the day, but now it’s finally made it to the big screen. Directed by McG (Charlie’s Angels, The Babysitter), “Uglies” is set in a world where the divides of class, creed, race, and nation have been erased by one great equalizer: beauty.
