“What if i told you… that there’s an alternative.” Netflix has revealed the official trailer for a movie called Uglies, a sci-fi thriller set in a futuristic dystopian world in which a compulsory plastic surgery operation wipes out physical differences and makes everyone pretty. It’s based on the book of the same name, and the movie is directed by McG, who has been making bad movies for Netflix for the past few years, including Family Switch most recently.
