Chaos Walking: Review

 Chaos Walking manages to overcome its flaws, due to its originality and strong chemistry between Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley.

The story line was very original. While it started out very slow, the movie picked up once Viola arrived. The direction by Doug Liman was excellent as well. 

The visual effects in the movie were outstanding, as were the action scenes, even though there weren't that many. My problems with this movie were the pacing, and lack of action scenes. The water fight showed why they should have had more action scenes, as the director is excellent at filming them.

The acting was outstanding. Daisy Ridley showed that she can hold her own, and that she doesn't need Adam Driver, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Ian Mcdiarmid to back her up. Her presence, in my opinion, really helped Tom Holland, and it also keeps showing me that Tom Holland cannot hold his own, and that he still has a long ways to go, before he can reach that level.

I hope for a sequel, but due to the response, and the box office numbers, it will not happen. While I wouldn't mind a tv show, or an animated movie, the problem is that Daisy Ridley will probably not return, and she was too perfect for this role.

Out of 4 stars I would give it...
