Chaos Walking

I'm flabbergasted by the extremely negative reviews for Chaos Walking. That you don't find it a masterpiece I can get but that you were not even remotely entertained by this movie remains a mystery to me. I was actually enjoying this quite refreshing story. It's fantasy and so I don't expect true or plausible stories. The acting wasn't bad at all and that from the entire cast so there again I don't know what's wrong with those eternal unsatisfied reviewers. If you're not too picky and like a fantasy story that has not been done before Chaos Walking is definitely worth a watch.

*spoiler free* look, if you want to watch a film and be immersed in it's world, this is it. They're some things that could of been done better/explored more in this movie, but for the most part, it is a good movie! The cinematography, setting, acting was great!! (not a massive fan of Daisey Ridley or Tom Holland, but they did a great job!) I went in with low expectations and I came out thinking wow, that was a breath of fresh air and I'd recommend it!! Certainly needs more appreciation and less hate!!!

Thank you for reading, stay safe everyone :)

On paper it looks good , Doug Liman who made great movies ( The edge of Tomorrow , The bourne Identity ) and a talented cast ( Mads Mikkelsen - Daisy Ridley and Tom Holland ) but what could wrong ???

Well , the script is messy ; the acting is bland ; The characters are one-dimensional and their motivations are not explained ; and the editing is one of the worst things i have ever seen , and how this film cost over 100M$ ????? we will never know .

All in All ; if you wanna a good sci-fi movie steer clear of this , and if you wanna see Tom Holland saying his name over and over agaiiiiiiin be my guest .

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.

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).
