Plot: After a plagues sweeps the United States, 98% of the nation's children are dead. The remaining 2% who survived find themselves with amazing powers. But instead of being celebrated, they are locked up in interment camps - that is where 16-year-old Ruby finds herself. Each child is assigned a color based on their abilities - and while Ruby can control minds, she knows this is one of the most dangerous powers, and instead hides among the super-intelligent. But her life is about to change when she escapes - and discovers her true purpose. -- Chris Kavan

Apart from some crackling electrical flashes, a storm with trees crashing down and flying containers, there’s not much more to see here. And don’t expect impressive special effects either.

Actually, I already had the feeling while watching “The 5th Wave” that after the successful …
