As a seasoned gamer and movie aficionado with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must admit that Netflix‘s latest offering, “The Uglies,” has left me rather puzzled. The film, which seems to have an intriguing premise, has taken the top spot on the streaming service’s Top 10 Movies chart in a matter of days, while garnering less-than-stellar reviews from both critics and viewers alike.
On Friday, the science fiction movie titled “The Uglies” was released on Netflix, featuring two well-known actors from other hit Netflix series in the main roles. Joey King, who starred in “The Kissing Booth,” and Chase Stokes, known for his work in “Outer Banks,” headline this intriguing film. The plot revolves around a future society where plastic surgery is compulsory and social classes are strictly based on physical appearance. Previews and early reactions suggest that “The Uglies” may be an unusual movie, with both critics and viewers finding it quite peculiar.
Netflix’s latest film, “The Uglies,” surpassed other movies on their Top 10 chart last Sunday, pushing the recently popular movie, “Rebel Ridge,” into second place. What’s remarkable about this swift rise of “The Uglies” is the gap between its impressive viewership and the critical reception it has received so far.
The Uglies has a fairly low 20% rating by critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but that’s not unusual for a Netflix success. However, the audience ratings aren’t impressive either, with the viewer score also deemed “rotten” at slightly over 50%. It seems very few people are enjoying this movie, yet many still seem to be tuning in to watch it.
