Chaos Walking (2021)
5/10
Not terrible, but such a waste of a good concept
1 April 2021
All I can think about with this movie is 'what a waste'. What a waste of talent. What a waste of budget, but most of all, what a waste of a good concept. In the first 15 minutes I was actually really interested in the story. The concept of people seeing your thoughts is terrifying, and with a cast like this you would think it would at least be a decent watch. Well, about that. The execution is so frustrating to watch. There are a lot of interesting elements, but none of them are good developed. Also, the so called 'noise' is so inconsistent, it hurts. Apparently, people can only think when the camera is on them and everything else is quiet. And there are so many more things like this. It's not the worst movie of the year. The acting is solid and some jokes and action moments are actually really good, but the main story is just too underdeveloped to really enjoy. And oh yeah, Nick Jonas has just as many lines as the dog, which is probably the best thing about this movie.
