Chronic Balls

I was really looking forward to seeing this movie. It looked interesting and quirky. An intriguing title. A trailer that hinted at something new, something non-mainstream. Different in a good and exciting way. Imagine my huge disappointment when this cold, emotionless,... Full review
Visually impressive, if derivative, futuristic thriller

It's hard not to notice the parallels between "The Mutant Chronicles" and "Aliens": a team of soldiers, plus a few outsiders with deeper knowledge of the subject, are sent on a suicide mission (not to outer space but) deep beneath the... Full review
Hit fire to skip story

With a title like 'Mutant Chronicles', you can't expect much, and yet this genuinely horrible piece of cinema fails to deliver even on that. The story line is the sort of thing that only works in computer games - and let's... Full review
Terrible Film

I honestly can't believe that all the positive comments on here are about the same film! $1m may be a small budget for a film these days but I'm sure it can buy a lot more than this drivel. The CG... Full review
Mediocre at best

It's the year 2707, which looks curiously like 1942 except with more corporations and bigger guns. An ancient machine has been uncovered which mutates all it comes into contact with via some pseudo-scientific method. A team of intensely one-dimensional soldiers is... Full review

Please people stop making trash like this! I want to be able to tell my kids that there are good sci-fi films to go and see but sadly this is not one of them! Whoever said to Thomas Jane that he... Full review
I can only imagine that the actors here had nothing better to do for a few weeks. A straight to video movie that managed to get a cinema release on the strength of the actors involved. I gave it 4 stars... Full review
Atmospheric yet quite disappointing

As a long time fan of Mutant Chronicles universe I've been quite excited when I heard about making of this movie. A few days ago I watched it - and can't say I'm excited anymore. The movie's plot is very cliché-ish... Full review

At the end of the Ice Age, The Machine came from the outer space with the purpose to change men into mutants. However, a hero defeated the device and a great seal was laid over The Machine. In 2707, the depleted... Full review
OK but far from the original

I did play the board game when I was younger and sort of liked it. To bad they changed so much of the background story - exactly what they changed can be found in other comments. It would have been much... Full review

if anything, to like about Mutant Chronicles .....As director Simon Hunter puts it, the film looks "odd.....At first glance, Mutant Chronicles looks like it could be another solid, entertaining B-movie....Boring, nonsensical, and visually irritating, there is very little....Devon Akoi is the adorable, plucky, butt-kicking soldier whose only character trait is.... ...

Mutant Chronicles is a big, cheap mess.....For many women, a guilty pleasure could be overwrought vampire romance movies.....this movie is so bad.....Unfortunately, Mutant Chronicles is a hot mess that isn't even that much fun.....Perlman makes numerous mistakes about the content of the film.... ...

Malkovich vanishes after the first 20 minutes and Perlman is absolutely insufferable in his preaching.....Thomas Jane was really the film's saving grace for me, even....movies inspired by video games tend to have major flaws;....Mutant Chronicles knows full well....though I thought both Perlman and Malkovich would help as well -.... ...

may find some diversion in "Mutant Chronicles," a shamelessly derivative film that opened yesterday without a screening for critics.....especially given the steep $12.50 admission price for a lousy movie projected on video in a small theater -.... ... Full Review

Boxoffice Magazine
Mutant Chronicles ' greatest asset may be its profile as a popular game....Mutant Chronicles lacks the visual luster and standout monsters of those popular films.....The most interesting performance belongs to Anna Walton, who brings welcome sword fighting action to the monster mash as a silent female monk.....Ron Perlman is as likable as ever as Brother Samuel, delivering the type of gruff performance his fans have come to expect.....While its tale of future mankind fighting for its survival against monste ...
