Chaos Walking (2021)
4/10
A fine little release
21 April 2021
It's a quaint little pseudo-Science Fiction movie. Sadly, it isn't anything memorable.

Sure, no character is annoying, there are some interesting effects and usage of the premise that was invented.. but it is a tad too simplistic (which might a positive for some). Also, it feels like it had a small budget, basically shot "in the woods" like cheap movies of old.

And for some, the concept of the noise is probably going to get old fast.. to the point where it becomes annoying, specially since it used so much without a real point.

Daisy Ridley grew on me, even if her character is a bit dry (still the only thing I really liked). The rest of the characters are just fine, even the talented Mads.

** At some point during watching it I thought.. this is something Hideo Kojima would write as a foundation for a story. But he would have elaborated it better, put in more layers and messages, make it deeper and more elaborated.. and probably mess it up anyway.

Watch it to pass the time, not with the intention to discuss it with others.

I wouldn't really recommend it.. I fee like they could have done more with what they created.
