I am really surprised that Mutant Chronicles got such a low rating. I like it a lot - the flick got a very own visual design, some good actors (Ron Perlman good as always) and a very dark story, a good mix of elements of sci-fi, fantasy and horror.Well, I rewatched Mutant Chronicles lately and still liked it, but I also like such pearls like El barón contra los Demonios (2006) and Zardoz (1974) a lot. So my taste may be a little too alien for the "mainstream".Anyway, with its visual power and "broken" and fast storytelling Mutant Chronicles reminds me a lot of European comics of Juan Giménez, Alejandro Jodorowsky and Moebius and the like. If you like your dish sometimes special just try Mutant Chronicles - it may work for you well.

Mutant Chronicles is a solid gem, as both a b movie and a legit exercise in bloody high concept fantasy. It's got a sci fi vibe meshed nicely together with a grinding steam punk sensibility, and it's pure visceral gold. The vague plot, as I best remember it: Some form of extraterrestrial intelligence takes up residence deep within the earth's core, using a gigantic machine to turn humans into mindless, rabid killing machine with nasty, pokey, king crab looking things for limbs. The warring corporations who control the remaining resources on the planet commission a crew of dirty dozen style bad asses to venture deep into the earth, stopping the mutants and their makers, and silencing the evil contraption forever. Thomas Jane is Major Mitch Hunter, the stoic tough guy leading the group with grit and guts. He's also searching for his missing superior officer Nathan Rooker (Sean Pertwee). Along with him is strong, silent monk Brother Samuel (Ron Perlman), his mute daughter (Anna Walton), and other assorted warriors including Benno Furmann and Devon Aoki. That's pretty much all you get for a plot. The rest is screaming zombie esque hordes that ambush them at every turn and provide especially grisly action set pieces. There's a really impressive journey in a rickety spaceship that looks like a cross between a hot air balloon and a toaster, and a cameo from an extremely bored looking John Malkovich. Jane and Perlman use their tough guy charisma to bring the story to life, and the special effects are pretty damn cool. This one has bite, imagination and buckets of gore, particularly in a frenetic finale deep within the earth's interior. Great stuff.

Well here we go, my first review.Before watching this film, I had no prior knowledge of its existence, or anything about it. But I'm very glad to say that this movie is one of the most original movies I've seen in awhile. It may not be the most original plot, but it provides a very interesting and captivating story, and characters that you'll most likely see to the and and grow a liking to.It is not a perfect film however, most of the backdrops and some of the effects you can tell are green screen and animated. With that being said it doesn't ruin the story in any way, but is a little distracting when nothing else is happening on screen. The acting is well done thanks to a wise choice of casting, although some of the writing is a little cliché at points, it again, never takes away from the experience.This movie has plenty to offer to most viewers, and keeps a good pace the whole way though, with an opening that does in fact rival "Saving Private Ryan" Weather you are watching this alone or with a group of friends, please give this movie a chance because it really does deserve your attention, and is well worth the time.

Watching this movie was sort of like watching "Sucker Punch" not really shocked this is based off of a video game a little. I am surprised at some of the actors that showed up in this movie. The soldiers look like they are from WW2 even the era seems the same except few high tech machines. It's obvious this movie had a very limited budget cause the special effects doesn't look all that realistic, but on a positive note I like the style of this movie. It seemed like a mix between a graphic novels and video games. The direction of it all including the characters seemed very video game like and not really in a good way either. The story is basically about a group of video game like soldiers trying to win against mutant zombies that know how to kill and pilot steam-powered spaceships. There is many scenario in this movie that makes little to no sense, especially a lot of the elements in this movie. The team members are pretty generic like some video game characters and even have dialogues that is similar to some video game characters. The plot is very simple when it gets down to it, but tries to be more complex than it really is. It still had my attention and didn't get really or anything like that, and kept my eyes on the screen all the way through it.6/10
