Fine enough movie based on a book I haven't read. The concept is interesting and the plot moves well because of charismatic leads in Holland and Ridley. Mads Mikkelsen is always great, especially in villain roles. The noise effect was interesting and well-made as well as its representation into a visual format. The movie is great for those looking for something curious and well made. The small dirt is that the movie's message was, if that was intended, shallow but I lack interest and motivation to debate about it.

I would say this is a time passing movie but no. It's not catchy. Maybe it has an interesting plot for some people but they have shot the movie quite boring.
Ridley and Holland are doing what's expected for such a movie, running around and creating action. Just thumbs up for Mikkelsen. Ordinary movie...

5/10

Rey and Peter weren't very convinced to their new universe. ;>

Despite the movie's troubled journey to the screen - a literal case of chaos walking - this wasn't that bad. Admittedly, I haven't read the book so I can't compare the two, but even if it didn't stick closely, there is still much to enjoy here. Holland and Ridley are great, the 'noise' was cleverly done, and the plot held my interest to the end. A sequel is unlikely given the reception it has received in some quarters, and this is a shame, as there is scope for a decent franchise here.

I don't get the hate from critics. Sure, it's nothing groundbreaking, but it's lots of fun. Great leads, obviously. Reminds me of the Hunger Games.

In this science fiction film with a western aesthetic, the idea of noise is not at all cinematic

Under a new premise - which, of course, comes from a novel - Chaos Walking ends up revealing itself as a confusing space western that doesn't quite add up. I don't know if it's more audible in the original version, but the film's concept of "noise" ends up revealing itself as such, being confusing and very difficult to understand to the ear. I imagine that it is one of those things that is much better reflected in the novel.

A mediocre film that clearly borrows from actors who are now more than recognised, but who were much more accessible when they hadn't yet risen to stardom (the film was announced in 2011). The visual effects are just as confusing, and at times it's unclear what's going on.

It's surprisingly good. Then again I also liked Jupiter Ascending and the Star Wars sequels so maybe I just like bad scifi.
Anyway I quite liked the visual aspect of the noise, like the wall thing. Looked real cool.

there are no bad star wars sequels, but even if there were, they wouldn't be scifi

The cast were sound and played their roles alright, I thought action was good but would of liked more and I feel the story was lacking and not enough information. I liked the effect they call noise (Their own thoughts) because it was interesting and feel they was more to show on it also something different, also I did feel some of film was cheap so yeah it needs improvements but it was entertaining. If they was gonna be a sequel to this film I wouldn't say no but hardly likely.

Although I hated the new Star Wars movies, I liked Daisy Ridley.

Its nice to see her in a good movie.
The movie itself is pretty good. Although it is pretty obvious what happened to the women, since the "coverstory" just doesn't make sense.
It would have been unrealistic had it happened on the whole planet (since its hard to reproduce without women and some men do have brains you know...), but it happening in a single settlement is realistic and sadly not too far fetched (although looking at reality it looks more like men will start to get murdered soon - I don't think it'll take too long until someone converts the popular disgusting hashtag into reality on some level...)

Too much crappy teen angst, too much repeated dialog, And the brain fart aesthetics were an eyesore. It exemplifies the worst of the YA genre

I liked it. It seems a lot of people didn't? I'm not sure why. I think the idea feels unique, Tom and Daisy are both great actors, as is Mads, and the visualization of the noise was really cool. I liked the world they set up, and I would have liked to see a sequel if this was more successful, but it seems this movie didn't perform well enough for a sequel, so that's unlikely unfortunately.

I don't think I would survive in that kind of environment. My thoughts are not fit for anyone else but me to see and know.
Other than that, this was a pretty good movie. I liked how the friendship was built between Viola & Todd. It brought a certain sweetness to the otherwise crazy world.
There is also of course so many questions left unanswered. So many things left to explore. Whether it comes in sequel form or a tv show, it would be greatly welcome.

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

It's a political left wing disaster with a plot that makes no sense

@m-reza-nasirloo What do you not understand from the plot. It's pretty straighforward.

Yay! Two gay dads!
[spoiler]Boo! They killed them!
Noo... stop burying the gays! I would have thought a gay author would've known better than to do that[/spoiler]

One of the IMDB trivia points was saying how Todd imagined kissing Viola, but "there's no explanation how would Todd know about the custom and meaning of kissing". UMMM... did they forget gay people exist??? Hello, two gay dads!

I really enjoyed the movie, but it left ALOT of questions unanswered. They set up the movie for a sequel that I hope explains what's going on.
