The film, directed by McG, attempts to resonate with previous dystopian hits but ultimately feels derivative and lacks the depth to convincingly portray its relevant themes.
In 2024, the film highlights the pertinent topic of plastic surgery and societal beauty standards, yet struggles to deliver its message in a coherent and impactful manner.
Despite the promising source material, the adaptation disappointingly resorts to cliché and awkward exposition, failing to create a compelling narrative that engages viewers.
While Uglies addresses timely issues around identity and societal pressures, the execution appears flat, relying on poor production design and clichéd storytelling techniques.
