Alien at the Movies

Chaos Walking

This dystopian tale is set in the future about a new world colony where men’s thought can seen & heard. Todd (Tom Holland) is a boy raised by adoptive parents. One day, he stumbles upon Viola (Daisy Ridley), the lone survivor of a scout ship that crashes while searching for their First Colony. Todd can’t hear Viola’s thoughts & has never seen a female before because in Todd’s village there are no women. It’s a odd blend rural frontier life with space age blasters. Todd & Viola must go on the run trying to evade the evil mayor (Mads Mikkelsen) & his men. The premise sounds like it may have great promise but it takes a stumble as Todd does some growing up while seeking the truth.

Alien gives it 2 “The Noise” stars out of 4.
