Two unlikely companions embark on a perilous adventure through the badlands of an unexplored planet as they try to escape a dangerous and disorienting reality, where all inner thoughts are seen and heard by everyone.

Chaos Walking sets out on a potentially interesting path, but this dystopian adventure badly bungles its premise and limps toward the finish.

Chaos Walking's unique premise helps offset the story's predictable and confusing moments -- and the great cast makes this sci-fi adventure that much more exciting to watch.
