CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Whenever we go out to see a movie rooted in popular literature, it’s natural to hold the book next to its source and compare the two. And as far as book adaptations go, the Chaos Walking movie does have a major upper hand. The script was co-written by the author himself, Patrick Ness, who previously adapted his other popular story A Monster Calls for the 2016 film by J.A. Bayona. Even so, the 2008 bestselling novel and the Lionsgate film starring Daisy Ridley and Tom Holland have quite a few differences between them to discuss. Doug Liman’s sci-fi rel...

Movie review: Chaos Walking Directed by: Doug Liman Runtime: 109 minutes Rating: PG-13 (for violence and language.) As theaters begin to open up to full capacity we will be seeing newer releases. This is a welcome change as the last few months, the choices have been slim. This isn’t to say that theaters aren’t still going above and beyond to keep us safe while we are there.

A year later, we've still not returned to "normal" – and maybe we never will. But we have, collectively, gotten better at this thing – at being safer, and at being more innovative. Same goes for the world's largest commingling of cutting-edge technology and culture. SXSW 2021 is a 100% virtual affair, to be experienced like just about everything else these days: from...

Courtesy 2020 felt an awful lot like a science fiction film, didn’t it? Living through a deadly global pandemic launched us right into Contagion and World War Z territory, while the empty shelves at grocery stores and toilet paper frenzy were straight out of a dystopian drama or a zombie thriller. If you had to swear off sci-fi movies while living through it all, we don’t blame you. But with the year still young, we're staying hopeful about the remainder of 2021: pandemic- and film slate-wise. This year, now that we can stomach sci-fi a bit better, the genre is roaring back with a slat...
