Review of Chaos Walking (2021) by Syam — 15 Sep 2021

I am writing this review because I was deeply disappointed by the way the critics had underrated this movie. 'Chaos walking' may not be a perfectly made movie as we knew how this movie's works had been going on but still it's a must watch.

The concept of 'Noise' (where one can express his inner thoughts as a projection to others) is something new to the movie world and this concept is well crafted in this movie despite the flaws in it's storyline.

The story takes place in fantasy world named "The New World" (which is of course not earth) where a woman named Viola(Daisy Ridley) crash lands due to a malfunction in their spaceship killing all the other crew members.

She soon learns the truth that she was in a planet where all the women had been killed by the men. But a man named Todd(Tom Holland) agrees to help her escape "The New World" and also from the evil Mayor Prentiss(Mads Mikkelsen) [a war hero and the leader of Prentisstown who spreads the message to kill all the women because they do not have The Noise in them].

This film may be a slow fantasy survival thriller which lefts many questions unanswered (like for a sequel) but the top notch visuals and beautiful soundtracks and outstanding acting outweighs them all.

Maybe due to the pandemic this film failed to make it to the box office,an hybrid release would have been better. I know most of you who read this review have not seen this movie but please ignore the critics and watch it at least once even though you may feel this film is a bit slow(not for me) the concept of The Noise would never leave your mind and that will make you feel how much this movie had been underrated.

This movie is a very great weekend journey which will surely make an impact if you don't get your hopes so high and watch it simply as a movie.
