    "I am Todd Hewitt."

    I don't know why everyone is hating on this movie, but this movie was so good.

    As a fan of the books I was worried the film wouldn't work. BUT despite that, it delivers one of the best experiences I've had watching a book adaptation. I loved every second of this.

    Daisy Ridley and Tom Holland are ELECTRIC as Viola and Todd. The chemistry they have is unmatched.

    The noise is perfection. The visuals overall in the film are amazing. The stakes are established early on and it does a great job of making you FEEL those stakes.

    The boat scene was beautifully done, helped only by a phenomenal score, which is amazing from start to finish by the way.

    It handles emotion amazingly well.

    All of the character introductions are great too. Within 10 minutes we've met a good chunk of our cast and it doesn't feel rushed.

    Chaos Walking is fantastic. As a fan of the books I couldn't be happier with how this turned out. It's moving the franchise in a different narrative direction and I'll be really sad if this doesn't come back for a sequel.

    It's alright

    The movie is honestly, pretty much OK. Interesting premise that I, personally, haven't seen before. It just needs about 30 minutes more of world and character building, kinda like a Snyder cut.

    alright

    The movie is not good nor bad. Feels to me like this could have developed into more than one movie but they crammed everything into one. Plenty of things left unexplained (from plot to characters).

    Decent sci-fi movie

    I don't understand the bad reviews, but maybe it's because I didn't read the books. Or maybe it's because this is the first movie I've seen in theaters since the pandemic began! Holland, Ridley and Mikkelsen all do a good job in their roles and the story kept me interested until the credits.

    Good enough...

    "Chaos Walking" is an Adventure - Fantasy movie in which we watch a young man helping a mysterious young girl who crashed on his planet. There all the thoughts of men are called 'Noise' because they are presented above their heads and can be heard from everyone.

    I found this movie very interesting because it had a very different and new plot, something that I had not watched before. The interpretations of both Tom Holland who played as Todd and Daisy Ridley who played as Viola were very good and the combination of both worked very well. The direction which was made by Doug Liman, it was very good and he did an excellent job on how he presented both his main characters and the plot, something that made more clear a lot of things that could confuse the audience. To sum up, I have to say that "Chaos Walking" is an interesting movie and I advise you not to hear the critics and just watch it because I am sure you will enjoy it.

    • How long is Chaos Walking?Powered by Alexa
    • So I know that this movie was adapted from a book but I was wondering, does this movie follow the events of just the first book in the Chaos Walking series which is called, The Knife of Never Letting Go, or the events of all the books in the series?
