Review of Mutant Chronicles (2008) by Jos . — 19 Jul 2009
Necromutants...blah, blah, blah. ... A prophesied savior will come. ... A man without faith... yadda, yadda.
I mean, I see the actors lips move, but all I hear is flubber. Like watching a cheap SciFi channel knock-off, only with a bigger budget. Only just. Did you see the Chronicles of Riddick? Then you pretty much saw this.
These kind of movies bore the pants off me. They are cynical (a particular trend in recent Brit-Fi: Doomsday; for example, or Franklyn; or Children of Men)'; the scripts are really lazy and filled with cliche-loaded, ignorant claptrap.
When is someone going to stop sticking variants of the line: "You need to have faith..."Into these films (with, I might add, a completely wrong understanding of what the word actually means)? And I don't know the last time I heard a fantasy film open with a "prophesy" and I didn't immediately feel any tension in the rest of the story was instantly destroyed. Oh yes.. I think it was Krull.
