Netflix’s dystopian sci-fi, Uglies, has the most outrageous solution to humanity’s biggest problems, but that’s entirely the point. The film is based on the 2005 book of the same name by author Scott Westerfeld, who followed up the story with two direct sequels, Pretties and Specials. The series was an intriguing YA hit, approaching the dystopian future in an entirely unique way. Of course, the process of adapting Uglies into a movie resulted in a somewhat different story, to the point that Westerfeld’s “Pretty” solution seems even more outrageous.
