Chaos Walking | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

What we get is a movie built on a compelling and imaginative premise that realizes much of its potential. At the same time it leaves way too many loose ends, making it feel like a frustrating first installment rather than its own well-rounded movie.

Despite the charms of Holland and Ridley, this ineffectual adaptation of Ness' book can't overcome its uninspired source material. Despite opting for a more straightforward narrative, this is bland YA action that even Liman's direction can't save.

A cacophonic waste of talent and time that feels like a slow walk to nowhere.

Chaos Walking is dreadfully dull. There must have been an interesting pitch to get so many great performers involved, but their abilities are lost in the endless studio tinkering.

It contains bland dialogue, superficial characterizations, unremarkable visuals, and overly familiar plotting.
