    Watching the (91 minute!) film adaptation of The Dark Tower. As the author of Chaos Walking, I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for huge budget Hollywood adaptations that misfire on almost every level. No one’s ever trying to make a bad film; everyone’s working REALLY hard; you gotta feel for them.

    for this week's column, i watched Chaos Walking (ever heard of it?!), a movie set in a dystopian future where there are no women and men's unfiltered thoughts are constantly broadcast to everyone around them—you know, like a podcast.

    I watched Chaos Walking with my boyfriend Monday. I'm still thinking about it two days later. There's something really impactful about it, and I can't recommend it enough. The way that the movie depicts the inner struggle under patriarchy is fascinating. Also — Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley.

    When you start reading an article about why Daisy Ridley should be headlining bigger projects, and you get a major research error like saying The Marsh King's Daughter is her first studio film since Star Wars. No, that's Chaos Walking. But I'd understand why you'd want to forget.

    It's a western, on an alien world that looks too much like ours, that we colonized and demonized the local population, killed all the women in one settlement due to some weird shaman, and wherein we don't treat the few animals that came with us from Earth like the rare and important beings they would be. I draw the line at the death of animals. I won't watch it, and I won't watch the rest of the #film once I see it. But there are lots of reasons to dislike this #movie. Most of them are…

    That was a lacklustre movie. I wish Daisy Ridley would get some better sci-fi movie roles, I thought she was excellent as Rey. We Bury the Dead was decent, better than Chaos Walking anyway.

    I started checking “Does the Dog Die” after I watched stupid “Chaos Walking” and Tom Holland drowns a dog on camera. I was like, “Why would this dumb movie make me watch that as part of what I pay to experience this story?” I will watch stuff where animals die, I just want it to be tasteful!

    "Chaos Walking" on #Netflix is a really weird film. I liked it! The premise is that on an alien planet everybody's thoughts are visible and audible to others. Exactly the kind of thing an author can invent but how would you pull it off in a movie? It worked well! Solid VFX and nice matte paintings by a bunch of well-known studios (Rodeo, Crafty Apes, Spin) even though the movie feels like a "small movie" that was shot in a forest of a province that had the best tax credits. #ChaosWalking

    Malorie Blackman's Noughts and Crosses series - similar mix of recognisable social concerns and dystopian elements to Hunger Games. The Divergent series was big when HG was first popular, although note that the film series tails off fast! Seconding Patrick Ness' Chaos Walking books too!

    Fairly close to being a good film, for me at least.

It holds an interesting concept and I was very much willing it to come to fruition in an entertaining manner but it never does.
