Daisy Ridley plays a colonist from Earth who crash-lands on a strange planet among a hostile all-male community, with Tom Holland as the good guy shepherding her to safety in Doug Liman s dystopian sci-fi movie.
Toxic masculinity is an interplanetary export in Doug Liman s
Chaos Walking, in which the male population of human settlers experience a reaction to the environment of the New World that renders their every thought both audible and visible. The multihued blur of movement created around them by that unfiltered Noise at first had me wondering about a faulty link, or a possible need for picture adjustment on my TV. Not that the visual effects aren t slick, like everything else in this dour sci-fi saga. The issue is more that the information overload afflicting the men onscreen also infects the muddy storytelling from the start, failing to hook you into the characters or their plight.
