 A VISIONARY MODERN SCI-FI CLASSIC! |

| Only the most cynical viewers could dislike this movie. If you're a fan of classic melodramatic sci-fi with 80s style characters, abundant special effects and unique sets / weapons / props then you will most likely LOVE this movie! This is one of those very satisfying movies that plays like a great adaptation of an early 80s comic serial from 'Heavy Metal' magazine (the adult comic fantasy / sci-fi magazine)! I wish I could have seen it in the theater! There are moments and spots of dialog that make the cynics cringe but it's a fun movie that is refreshingly unpredictable with stunning scenes of violence suddenly erupting and crucial characters getting ripped apart with stunning ferocity! Only those who are spoiled by Hollywood FX and hip dialog will dislike this movie. Those who prize imagination and a fun viewing experience overall will love it! This belongs on any true sci-fi lover's shelf next to Enki Bilal's 'Immortal' and Danny Boyle's 'Sunshine' as one of the better examples of highly imaginative modern sci-fi. |

After watching several movies that really stunk, this was a refreshing change. Filled with a bleak atmosphere, this dark story kept me interested from the first scene. I loved the WW1 inspired machinery that is peppered throughout the story. The hero, or as I call him, "Sarge" was a great caricature of the tough army NCO that keeps on going. The special effects are great, though the gore was a bit overdone.
As typical for this type of movie, there aren't many survivors, so it's just a matter of guessing which sidekick gets knocked off first.
This is certainly not everyone's cup of tea, but it kept me awake and entertained from start to finish. Highly recommended.

| I initialy found this movie looking through comics related stuff, and thought it looked like total crap and wrote it off as just that. It continued to pop-up here and there in searches and I continued to ignore it, then I saw a movie on SciFi Channel and it immediately caught my attention. It wasn't long before I realized it was Mutant Chronicles and by that time I was hooked. For me, this is one of those movies that strike a cord within the imagination. I instantly started looking for anything else related to Mutant Chronicles. This is a brilliant, albeit "B" grade movie with great actors delivering super performances. It has an awesome atmosphere accentuated by the cinematography and washed out colors. At the end I found myself seriously hoping to see this as the beginning of a series. It's simply a great movie. |
