At least the CG is fairly restrained and integrated on this YA romp (unlike Love and Monsters). Underwhelming but passable (compared with other YA Sci-Fi) because of the fairly interesting central premise.

From unreleasable to uninspired chaos walking is a dull predictable mess.

The scene revolving around Holland's dog is where the concept of Chaos Walking really shines. Powerful stuff, but the rest of it is... mildly entertaining. It's certainly undercooked, even while Holland, Ridley and especially Mikkelsen really try. If it was written better, Mikkelsen would have played a memorable character but it was dry. Aside from that, some nice music, but it kind of putters along, unable to truly find its emotional resonance outside of the dog scene.

Chaos Walking moves through pretty scenery for its entire runtime, never truly feeling immersive. The premise is weak, but the plot & execution are painfully contrived to the point of marring the film's revelations. Both Ridley & Holland lack personality, mistaking frantic for a character trait. The concept of being chastised for your own thoughts isn't handled well. Holland crying & being silent was the only thematically (feeling vs thinking) worthwhile moment and even that seemed accidental.

After reading the book, I was looking forward to seeing how it was adapted for the big screen and was really happy when Lionsgate sent me a screener. I think for the most part, it does follow the story pretty well - but with any plot revolving around mind reading, things get pretty convoluted pretty quickly. It’s just a really messy film and I didn’t really care about these people.

Just when you thought big, dumb YA adaptations were out of style, another one gets unceremoniously dumped into theaters. It’s less than 100 minutes long without credits, but it feels like it goes on and on. After the first half-hour, I checked my watch every five minutes easily. When the film finally gets to its central allegory, it feels awfully shallow. There’s a lot of thematic potential within the film’s premise, but none of that is explored here.

hacky, dreary, and derivative. it's Y: The Last Man crossed with Fallout 76 crossed with Anthony Michael Hall's OUT OF BOUNDS.

This is one where I disagree with the critics, but it does have issues. Holland and Ridley are fine for what they’re given, and Mikkelsen is fun, even if a bit dull. That’s mostly the issue too, is that nothing really seems focused. This is a fun watch and I was definitely entertained, but nothing is that gravitating above surface level, it’s concept is great, but you could easily do more with it. This plays out more like an action Sc-Fi when potential is there for more. Flawed, but fun.

I’m really angry at how a potentially great concept was wasted with such a forgettable and bad film. It’s kind of unintentionally funny, but the problem is it’s almost all serious and there’s no surprises or good uses of the concept. Some performances were a bit wonky too. The plot has no sense of cohesion, no excitement to it. Any proper attempts at humour play out exactly as you expect it would. Wouldn’t surprise me if people start calling this Chaos Flopping one day.
