CHAOS WALKING

Peter Parker and Rey team up for this sci-fi adventure that takes place 236 years into the future on a planet called New World. This planet is made up entirely of men, who can hear and see each others thoughts called Noise. Tom Holland plays Todd, who one mundane day comes up Viola (Daisy Ridley) after her ship crashes on his planet and she's the lone survivor (lone female member of the team as well). Quickly, Viola's life is endangered on the planet and Todd takes it upon himself to display his "toxic masculinity" by constantly telling himself to "be a man," so he agrees to protect her. The film plays to man's primal nature: hunter, protector, violent. Whereas women are seen are caring, thoughtful, and rational. Unfortunately, Holland's oogling over Viola the entire movie wears then rather quickly (having never seen a woman before). The studio and producers I'm sure are banking on the star power of Holland and Ridley to bring audiences in and sadly, it might just work. However, this film is all sizzle and no steak. 4/10
