Chaos Walking

I wanted this movie to be so much more! I walked away with a couple unanswered questions but overall, it was entertaining to watch.

Predictable, pacing was all over the place. Shame for such a good cast.

Chaos Walking isn’t the sort of disaster that inspires so-bad-its-good appreciation, and it’s not quite interesting enough to become a genuine cult object. It’s more of a noble misfire. And I would love to hear its creators’ thoughts on why they made certain choices.

While this medium-budgeted action film clearly hopes to launch a cinematic series, the YA trappings feel familiar, despite some intriguing ideas about toxic masculinity and adolescent insecurity.

The characters are uninvolving, the emotional stakes never fully take hold and the physical action invariably promises more than it delivers.
