The Mutant Chronicles (18) 111 mins
Review by Victor Olliver - We travel to the 23rd century. Earth's natural resources have been exhausted in this film based on the role-playing game.
Battle rages between the soldiers of four leading corporations: the Capitol, Bauhaus, Mishima and Imperial.
At some point killer necro-mutants are unleashed. Brother Samuel (Ron Perlman), of a monastic brotherhood, believes he can save the planet.
There's no doubting the frenetic energy of Simon Hunter's steampunk thriller with its deft mixing of CGI and live action. The mutants are artforms of grotesqueness and truly terrifying.
The extreme violence, which includes a graphic disembowelment and faces sliced apart by mutant claws, accounts for the 18 rating, which will affect revenue.
Thomas Jane is thrilling as mutant- mincing Major Mitch. Verdict 3½/5
