Preview: Mutant Chronicles (2009)

Synopsis:

A pseudo-futuristic society where a group of renegades wage a final battle against a rising band of mutants.

• Poster: C

Review:

Gray and orange are not friendly companions and this poster easily proves that. Taking on a similar style to many '80s action films, thi poster isn't much to look at and won't do much to bring an audience to the theater by itself.

• Trailer: B

Review:

The design elements are quite interesting, although there are segments where it's easier to notice cheap effects. But, for a studio like Magnet, a project this ambitious will either make or break them. I don't know if it will draw an audience, but it certainly looks like it might be enjoyable visually.

Oscar Prospects:

I could see it sneaking into the Art Directors Guild nominations, but I doubt the movie can compete at the Oscars.

Release Date:
