    A very high liking for sci-fi films is needed to really enjoy Mutant Chronicles. It's very stylish in a Sky Captain kind of way. The action is gruesome and quite good. The film boasts a solid cast with Thomas Jane, Ron Perlman, John Malkovich, and Asian swordsmen...( read more) Devon Aoki and Aaron Yoo. Character development for our heroes was a little slim, but it gave enough information to distinguish them and to make some sort of connection.

    The dialog was a little cheesy at times, and the plot was fairly one dimensional and predictable, but overall it's a pretty well made sci-fi action caper. It's nothing to write home about, but it's a solid way to spend 2 hours for avid fans of the genre.

    awesome fantasy/action. alot of imagination has gone into it. ron perlman was starring along with anna walton. it should've been "hellboy 3: the mutant army!", except i doubt hellboy would ever find religion! i will have to keep one eye open for more simon hunter stuff

    Nothing more than a bigger-budgeted Sci-Fi Ch-- excuse me, Syfy Channyl movie of the week. Had alot of potential but falls short in every catagory.
    Wait for cable and when there's absolutely nothing else to watch.

    Not good, not bad, certainly not original. Stylish in the vein of Sky Captain. Clearly a labor of love for those involved, but the end result isn't as compelling as you would hope.

    A b movie with a higher production value. An interesting premise and a very neat look. The cast was pretty good and I had fun with it.

    Saw some really good previews for this! It better not let me down....After watching it I feel sort of let down. It was a good idea, could have ended better?

    Haha, oh good fun. Got bad reviews from friends so I had low expectations, but the way it was shot was good enough to get me into it. And the VFX weren't actually that bad on a whole. Cool ideas, reminds me of a lot of old projects I did and thought of back in high school. Go...( read more)od fun post-apocalyptic hero/monster movie. I didn't even hate Thomas Jane.

    It was great because it was so corny but had the potential for so much more.

    Ron Perlman, Devon Aoki... okay, I'm game

    Mutant Chronicles lacks any sense of humor and tries too hard to be respected as a serious sci-fi war movie.

Nigel Andrews, The Financial Times

When the ridiculous and the sublime come within kissing distance like this, you know that, script or no script, Hollywood has found a way to have a wonderful time. full review

    I've seen it and trust me, if you like zombie movies, war movies or movies with suicide missions then prepare to have your face blown into little tiny chunks by the awesome that is Mutant Chronicles!

    First, yes! All I can say is that any movie with Tom Jane, Ron Perlman, guns,and mutants all in it has got to be awsome!
