Chaos Walking (2021)
7/10
"I am Todd Hewitt."
5 April 2021
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.
