The guy who literally only saw a single woman in his life was able to imagine up a crowd of them in perfect detail.
It would have been great If he didn't quite get them right. Like he'd mix Daisy Ridley's features with some of those of his fellow villagers.
Imagine if he just created a crowd of Daisy Ridleys because he assumed all women looked the same
He could have seen women in other men’s thoughts, so he would know what they look like
@Cristo Alba this probably was in Kaufman's script. Malkovich Malkovich vibes.
An outer space movie starring Daisy Ridley where the climax involves some bullshit remote projection of a person? Well, there's a first time for everything.
If Daisy Ridley's character was sent to find survivors, _why did she run away from Tom Holland?!!?!_
She's scared of spiders
@@hunterofthebigfootwithinte5609 hey it’s a real psychological condition ok? Don’t disrespect us spider haters
@@momogugu5017 🕷🕸
Because she doesn't know if they've formed a aum shinrikyo style cult and doesn't want to end up fried in a Tin Can.
And steal from them?
"Are your parents dead?"
"Yes"
"YOU DONT SEE MEE YELLING ABOUT *MY* PARENTS BEING DEAD"
Wow, now that's what I call good writing.
KEKW KEKW KEKW
it can be good writing if the writter is trying to make her look childish and stupid
@@suezuccati304 But this isn't very consistent behaviour, I'm assuming.
Yes, yes I killed your father. What is it with you women, anyway? I killed my father too and you don't hear me whining about it
“So tell me about your mom”
“She’s dead”
“Yeah, so is mine. You don’t see me yelling about it”
You brought it up, sorry it wasn’t a fantastic tale that the dude wanted to talk about.
She says, borderline yelling it ~
Also.... is she not aware of the all dead females thing at this point in the movie? What kind of answer did she expect from the dude who came from the village with only dudes? Why is she mad at an answer she didn’t deserve to a question she asked....... what the fuck is this character?!?!?!
Gabriel Boorom what
@Gabriel Boorom I don't think it's a case of sjw-ism, just shitty writing.

Timestamp?
Daisey Ridley being trapped on a planet with men who haven't seen a woman in years and have visible and audible thoughts should have been way more of a horror movie than whatever this was.
Yeah but whatever the hell that movie would've been wouldn't have been accepted outside of tightly knit indie circles
@@TheBfutgreg it's something we'd bully Jay for watching on RLM
@@boiboi7717 lmao just what I was thinking
Good thing he didn't get to see the Star Wars trilogy.
If that was the focus of the movie, Daisy wouldn't have been offered the role. They'd need to cast somebody who could actually provoke those kinds of thoughts in a bunch of dudes.
It was quite tasteless how Tom Holland kept thinking the N word whenever a Black character walked by
Truly distasteful
Yeah you'd think after so many edits they'd cut that out
Yeah, the dancing animation with the reed skirt and the bone in the nose got old real quick.
relatable
true gamer moment
I got invited to see this movie with some friends who won free tickets. A funny part that Adam didn't mention is that before the guy and the girl get on the boat, the girl is freaking out saying "BUT I CAN'T SWIM!!" and the guy reassures her "Don't worry, we'll stay on the boat!". So afterwards, when it capsizes and the girl is thrashing around in the water, the guy yells to her "JUST SWIM TO THE BOAT!!"
Also, another thing that Adam kind of glanced over is that the main guy has no motivation to "help" the girl in the beginning. He doesn't know why she escaped from the mayor, he doesn't know the pestertown's plan to take over the spaceship and I cannot recall a single time that she tells him anything (and she doesn't have any time to do so until they actually escape together [which is another really stupid thing because the pestertown men had every advantage and literally stood around watching them escape]). He also doesn't know that they killed the women until the end and, aside from the bully, he seems to trust them (which is shown when he goes straight to the mayor to tell him about the spaceship at the beginning).
It's SUCH A MESS.
"You know that thing you told me you can't do, just do it now" that's terrible and also amazing
@@zwan1886 if you dont know how and you're panicking you will probably drown
@@Ten_Thousand_Locusts what? people who weren't taught? Or ever been near water?
Yet some how she can parkour and drive a motercycle🤣🤣🤣😭🥲😐😞
From what little I know about the book, I think the main guy just jumps that alien and starts drowning them, and the alien is scared, trying to get away from this psycho. That's why the girl gets mad and gets on her anti murder soap box. In this though they made the alien attack first, so Tom Holland is justified defending himself and Daisy Ridley comes out looking stupid.
In the book Todd attacks the alien because he spent his whole life learning they're monsters and he's scared. It's only after he stabs it and his panic subsides that he realises the alien was weaker than him and that the alien was scared too. Todd himself realises that what he did was wrong and is incredibly remorseful for what he did
@@calcumalators Ahhh, that sounds interesting.
@@Agrellar the book series is actually excellent, i highly reccomend it
How is the twist handled? Because it would seem a weakness in the books as well.
How does a movie with a $100 million budget look like it was made in the woods behind someone's house with leftover costumes from a community theatre production of Oklahoma?
Hollywood movies are just vehicles to launder money.
Most of the money in the budget probably went to Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley’s paycheck
It all went to the 2 lead actors and Mads Mikkelson.
@@chriswong630 Don’t forget the budget also went for Nick Jonas as well.
Nick jonas, tom holland are prettt expensive at this point, and star wars girl is unfortunately getting the hayden treatment where she won't find good roles and be stuck to crappy flops until no one will ever remember her. That's how it is in hollywood.
When your villain is so uninteresting that you have to use dog murder to get the audience to care
Does that include the villain in John Wick?
@@polverine7491 that s kinda different since the dog murder is the catalyst of the entire plot
honestly I don't even care about the dog murder because I'm not giving the movie the luxury of having an effective crutch
@Cristo Alba Nah, Araki just hates dogs
Tbh this movie is so bad that it's literally the first time in my life I saw a dog die in a movie and felt nothing
"Daisy Ridley escapes from Tom Holland" is the best misreading, glad that was kept in.
how is that misreading? he referred to them as their actor's name all the time
@@GANVedits It was supposed to be escapes *with* Tom Holland, not from lol

I loved the series of books that this film was made after. I remember actually talking to Patrick Ness, the author, at a school book gathering and him explaining how he would never sell the rights to make a movie because he didn't think a film would be able to recreate his ideas correctly. I wonder how much money he was offered to prove himself right...
I loved the books too. So much of the story was in Todd's head, it really really doesn't translate well to film
They could’ve made it into a trilogy like the Maze Runner ones. Or any film Franchise based on Books. But it seems like it’s not going to happen 🤷🏻♂️
If I could like this comment twice, I would.
i'm glad you shared this, that the books were good. because listening to the concept for a film it doesn't make any sense at all.
@@wrockage One thing to keep in mind is that in the books, the Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley characters are only twelve years old. Turning them into adults completely ruined the concept.

Why would someone who only grew up around people that can communicate with thought, even talk at all? Talking is just more energy and you should be fully focused on controlling your thoughts at that point.
Dude, my thoughts are a mess, I don't think it would be good to communicate thru them
@Solid Snake Most parents can't talk with their thoughts. Even if speaking it first would help the child learn the words, I think by the time you are a teenager you would have no reason to do so.
@@talic-os5899 i belive this was general explination in the book from memory
@Solid Snake they're in a completely new world, it wouldn't be surprising for things to change
Why did no one think about sex? Or murder? Or all kinds of shit? You know, like poeple do all day, think about all sorts of stuff.
Todd believing everything he is told makes a lot more sense when he is 13 like he's supposed to be, not 23
LMAO you telling me the main guy lead is actually 13? Actually that checks out with multiple book to movie adaptations (im looking at you percy jackson)

@@DauthEldrvaria A bunch of "because if we change this detail it'll appeal to more people and make more money".
Being an actor sounds like such a crap shoot. You do your scenes and just hope the filmmakers put it together in some kind of cohesive structure, but you never know.
This movie is the perfect example of what happens when the gamble doesn’t pay off.
They still make hundreds of thousands regardless so they come fine usually
Literally the first Star Wars movie
Actors can read the script and choose whether they want to be involved or not.
@@Schrodinger_ Not always. Sometimes you get involved in a multi-picture deal with a studio, and have to make whatever movie they throw at you or risk getting sued. That's what happened to Channing Tatum when he was in the live-action GI Joe movie.
I like the idea that these people were so technologically advanced that they could colonize another planet but instead of bringing cars with them they just brought a bunch of horses. A bunch of anxious and fragile prey animals are your ideal mode of transport in the sci-fi future

Gotta love the "We set this movie in the future but didn't want to have any creative designs so it just looks like random things from the past shoved together and we didn't wanna have to care about history so we just set it in the future" genre

It really feels like an AI generated script. The plot has some narrative elements that could make some sense, but only in small scale.
Yes this is exactly it! Thank you for putting words to my torture
The thoughts always being heard, but just for men is a cool concept. The idea that there's a schizophrenic guy who became a cult leader and encouraged the other men in the community to kill all the women is a cool concept.
They went absolutely nowhere with either, and actively dragged the movie down.
Feel like they just stuffed a ton of different concepts which could serve as separate movies.
I've had the idea that all movie scripts have been AI generated for a while now. Every new movie is just so bad now
@@doommetaldarryl6689 Just made them with GPT-3 and Ai dungeon or something
The original cut had Spiderman and Rey trying to fight Clifford Unger in the middle of a zombie outbreak on the planet of the apes. Oh, and there's a Jonas Brothers concert going on at the same time.
...I'd watch that.
The look on Mads face the entire movie is "why am I wasting my time."
This feels like an old-school YMS video and I love it
Reminds me of his review of "The Host". Just another poorly constructed, forgettable YA novel-based sci-fi.
The scene with the guy going down the river on his horse is gold.
Except for when he killed the dog, that hurt
I hope the horse IRL was OK :(
I am totally convinced the thought projection is only an excuse to spoon feed you plot points
That and I was thinking it's an easy reason for why the characters can't sneak around (unless you're Daisy Ridley of course)
Never thought i'd be the the person to say this but: "In the books" it's acctually a clever way of displaying information to the reader without hiding it from the characters which sorta mixes things up and makes it feel a bit diffrent from other books. In other books just telling the reader what a character is thinking can get old/be used as a crutch to give exposition in a boring way.
@@smugy_7070 Pretty much sums it up. Sad that all these decently talented and innovative writers keep getting these horrible movie Directors signed to them.
The book isn't amazing but it's much more unique and new than the movie portrays
@@smugy_7070 yeah, it sounds like something that would be really cool on a book, but wouldn't translate really well to other media
I think it is just a shitty nerd idea of romance and "being cute". Dorky nerds tend to fantasize about shit like that.
"So I would meet a cute girl and she would know that I like her even though I am too shy to tell her and she would find that super adorable about me and there would be super much sexual tension between us because she would hear my thoughts about how much I like her and she wouldn't find that creepy or disgusting, because I am so cute."
That part where Tom Holland is wrestling the river alien reminds me of that part in Ed Wood where Bela Lugosi is pretending to fight a rubber octopus in a puddle of water
At this point you just know that if the main character in a post-apocalyptic plot has a pet, the pet is going to die in the most horrifying way imaginable to make the viewer care about the story
Buttercup survived tho! (The Hunger Games) Still, often the protagonist’s pet dies. 😢
i can’t believe tom holland has now been twice deceived by a man casting illusions in a fight scene. still not as crazy as paul rudd being in two different movies where a giant human uses cars to skate down the streets of san francisco though.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz :"If I had a nickel for every time that this had happened, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice."
The idea that Mads Mikkelsen would do anything but effortlessly kill Tom Holland humours me.
The idea is sentient?
@@Camustang Anything involving Mads Mickelsen acquires sentience.

Eh, it's fine, she has "sci-fi hair".
I'm also kinda weirded out how it makes her look so different. Like kind of younger... like a child that can't keep up their hair impression. Not necessarily taking years off younger.

Daisy Ridley will be forever typecast as Rey type characters.
I hope she takes paycuts and starts acting in indie films.

I can't take the setting seriously with an alien race called the spackle. It sounds like some kind of tile cleaner. "I need to head down to the store to pick up some spackle for my bathroom tiles."
Spackle is literally a term for paste you layer over cracks in drywall.
Seriously. Spackling paste. They named them after that.
Started losing it at "the entire town was lying to tom holland specifically" 😂 they gaslighted the shit out of him for his entire life, omfg
That's not gaslighting. He'd have to be aware of the reality that women weren't all killed by Spackles for it to be gaslighting.

The whole "everyone can hear the main characters thoughts" sounds like something that would work well(or at least be an interesting gimmick) in a book but sounds awful for a film

I mean most of heterosexual romances of cinema are just there to have a pointless and horribly written romance or to let the women get killed to have another fucking vengeance story.
Why gay people need a particular reason to just exist appart from existing?
But i have to give you a point, cinema does a bad favor to gay people making sexuality all of a character's personality, and that has been criticized by LGTB comunity a lot.
Gay people have more personality characteristics appart from being gay and that's something the industry must learn.
@@toxicanalytics9966 Yeah, noticed that as well. There are good depictions of queer people out there, but the vast majority is.....unfortunate.
@@dusk6634 ok, but that has nothing to do with what we were talking earlier.
Im not asking why there's more heterosexual character's than homosexuals, thats obvious. Im asking why gay character's need a narrative justification for being gay.
You could have gay character and not mention anything about It, the same way you can hace a gay character Who talks about eating dicks 24/7.
But it's boring when you make one aspect of a character their whole personality, and that problem can be applied to more things appart from sexuality. But casually It only annoys you people when it's about gay people

Underrated comment
The "women being killed because they're assumed to have no souls" twist wouldn't be too hard to fix either.
Have one guy believe this is true, kill the women at night, and blame the Spackle monsters. He could share this belief with Madds' character, and then be killed in some way after he does so.
So Madds would still be the villain, and the rest of the town wouldn't have the truth in their thoughts...
Honestly, I hate to say it. But when you look at history, particularly christian history (witchcraft), is it really that farfetched or unbelievable? Women have been slaughtered en masse for lesser "reasons" lol. I mean hell, the catholic church have been using the apple of Eden excuse for centuries now to punish, manipulate and control us (as well as men too, all so the church itself remains in power) like when anesthesia was invented it was denied to women giving birth because we "deserved to suffer" 🤦🏼♀️.
That being said, it was so cringey seeing all those "thought" women turn up and taunt the bad guy. Like, I'm pretty sure if that if they care so little about what they did that they don't even think about it years later, he's not suddenly going to care and be shocked/confused if they "show up" in the thoughts of another WHEN ITS CLEARLY A TRICK.
It's such a cheap and crappy "wahman power" moment that's so bloody dumb. It's like the writers said "we want wahman power scene but aren't competent or smart enough at our jobs so we'll just throw in some ridiculous reason and well, people will be happy no matter how terrible because wahman power" 🙄.
@@fawnieee the plot hole isn't that they killed the women, the plot hole is that they managed to keep the secret from Tom Holland on a planet where men's thoughts become tangible
@@KyrieFortune It's explained a lot more clearly in the book how they manged to do that. Also Tom Hollands character is supposed to be thirteen so it was a little easier to hide the truth of what happened.
I remember liking the books, but as soon as I heard they were making a movie I knew it wouldn't work. While being able to actually hear the Noise would have been pretty cool, overall a movie wouldn't have worked no matter how hard they tried
If you want to read Kaufman’s first draft, it shows that he had a better grasp on how to translate it to the screen. It would have been more subtle, and making Todd much younger would have made his thoughts more believable in the film.
Yeah I read the books too and enjoyed them. Didn't know a movie was being made until watching the video and plot sounding eerily familiar.
But there's still the same twist? How does the book or Kaufman explains how the Town keeps the killing of the women a secret from the main character if they are all infected with Noise?
@ My thought on that was that the men were sworn to never reveal that secret to their children until they become men themselves (turning 13 years old). Although most of the adults in Prentisstown, excluding the Mayor, are not very good at hiding their Noise, it was believable enough even though it doesn't fully make sense. All I'm saying is that the novel handles it better.
@@Ashe1001 It's built up as a ritual, and there's more to it than just "We killed all the women." You not only learn that, but you also have to kill someone else (which is why people are disappearing around the town), and this prepares you to be part of Prentisstown's grand zealot army. If you don't partake, you get killed, too.
Imagine never meeting a woman in your entire life, and then when you finally do it's Daisey Ridley's character who just nags at you the entire time.
Edit: Since I'm finding out 4 months later that I've started some shit. I'd just like to point I'm not an incel. I'm a bisexual woman in a relationship that has accused a man of nagging before. Not that it matters 🤷♀️
Women, am i right?
When men are mean it's cool but when women do it it's nagging
Holy shit, was the villain the hero of the story?
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 When men are mean it's called being a dick, bad is bad regardless of sex.
You just learned the most sexist archetype of women possible
If there was a streaming service for unreleased versions of movies I would subscribe to it in a heartbeat.
Adam saying the aliens are called “The Spackle” made me laugh hard
Missed opportunity to put actual spackle (like the stuff you repair walls with) on screen.
They literally only read the back blurb on the book and said “yup we know exactly how this story goes”
Dude, I don’t know what you are on about!?! This was an incredible movie. That character arc Mads Mikklesen had of being a school teacher and losing his friends due to the false accusation of him abusing a child was insane!!! My only flaw was that the posters lied. Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley are not in the movie... and they all spoke Dutch...
I think maybe you watched the wrong movie. Kinda like the time I watched The Hunt but it was actually The Hunt.
Yeah. The movie was incredible. The scene when Mads Mikklesen appeared in WW1 with his skeleton soldiers and tried to steal BB from Norman Reedus was outstanding. Wish they didn't say Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley were in it
Dude. They didn't speak Dutch. That was Croatian.
@@IveGotToast reminds me of the time they gave Brie Larson an Oscar for her performance in The Room when she wasn't even in that cinematic masterpiece smh
The best scene was when him and his 3 teacher friends started drinking for a month
This has to be one of the funniest reviews Adam's done in a while, commentary was A++ 10/10
The preacher going straight into the water kind of reminds me of that Simpsons scene where Skinner is chasing Bart, and not really in a good way.
This movie reminds me of a mix of “After Earth” and “Jupiter Ascending”
Two awful tastes that taste awful together.
jupiter earth?
after ascending?
After Earth and Jupiter Ascending had a costume and production design budget
Jupiter Ascending was the first thing I thought of after watching this video
put this line on the bluray cover
"I'M SPICKLE RICKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!"
so wait why was the smackle trying to kidnap spiderboy if it's a good "guy"?
thats just how they say "hello"
@@MrSuckeragi Scary Movie 3!
Someone on another thread said that in the book Tom Holland crept up on the sparkle and attacked it, which makes way more sense for her getting pissed off. What a weird detail to change
Damn, Adam got no mercy for YA novels lmao
The books for this one are actually good
People say that about every book, and it can’t always be true. :/
@@alexanderfreeman3406 well I enjoyed them, they are really mature and fleshed out in general not just compared to other ya books
@@varadraigaonkar107 I hate almost all YA novels, many better books you can spend reading and learning from than that wannabee movie-franchise style, like they're written with so much visual/momentum in mind that they're practically film scripts with minor soliloquies. This one was ok tho, the script might have been interesting in Kaufmann's hands. It has been like, 8 years tho, and the sequels kinda suck.
Edit: From what I remember, the relationship was obviously pretty domineering, and it's easy to hook HS kids with that, and the world doesn't completely avoid the problems Adum mentions, but the concept is unique and gives itself to some graphic text stuff, which is cool, and I seem to remember the priest's death being very atmospheric/gothic, and the commentary tied in well conceptually.
@@15henklea I just hate books in general. Fight me.

I loled imagining this movie just stealing Schindler’s List’s credits. You’re a masterful editor Adum.
“In a world without women... There’s, um, there’s like a woman now...”
“There’s a very sad scene, he’s dying in his arms like a movie”

You're telling me, brother!

How do people not have an aneurysm when listing to the plot be explained or trying to explain the plot of this movie.
I broke at the horse going down the waterfall
@@mmmghool the drowning of the dog was pointless and served no purpose as well.
Lmao. I love these longer reviews. I understand you don't have unlimited time.. but would so cool if you were able to do more of these longer ones. So good
Between Star Wars and Chaos Walking, I'm starting to think Daisy Ridley is being typecasted as the annoying, unlikable, character who treats everyone like shit while also being flawless and overpowered for no reason because the plot demands it.
It sucks she keeps landing these terrible roles cause she has very real acting prowess, she played the role of Rey and her character in this movie so well considering what she was given.
@@steve7613 her best acting was when she played a fully nude corpse.
Hopefully her agent helps her pick better roles
All of her movies (including SW) are sucks. Maybe it's really her thing.

Dude a real review for the first time in forever... Thank you so much, I miss your long form reviews like more than any other commentary video on UA-cam. Please do more
I remember reading the series in like, 5th grade and enjoying it. I never actually made it all the way through the 3rd book though. I do specifically remember that there was a part towards the end of the first book or start of the second book where the narrator mentions that he isn’t wearing a shirt because he’d left it on a hill, and closeted gay me was like “Ooh, shirtless guy. Yes, me like.”
Ah man I liked the books. Why do I always get a shiver of fear when a book I like gets an adaptation?
They’re here to cash in and nothing else
What does the book do right that the film messed up?
@@williamapple7705 everything. There are 3 books and each of them is around 600 pages. They’re very good and the pacing is good. 1st. The main characters are 13 yo. Then The plot about the town killing the mother wasn’t that big. Originally the boy wanted to get help from the town, but after they discovered it, they understand they need to get away definitely bc they killed women bc of rage. The men were angry that the women didn’t have noise so the men didn’t trust them anymore. So, Todd now only cares about Vi, but then they get captured and separated. There’s two towns with different ideologies, and one only accepts women so Vi stays there. And Todd works in mines together with the native alien forma and Todd discovers that the men also slaved the aliens and it’s not they’re aggressive but the humana slaved their race bc of fear. It’s very interesting
@@HollyDog i haven't seen the movie or read the book but I feel like having the twist of the aliens being enslaved while Tom Is figuring out the town lied seems a lot more interesting than the puppy murder villian
Probably because 80% of book adaptations are bad
I was laughing my ass off throughout the entire review Adum. The way you get infuriated explaining the movie with the clips is so funny to me.
Aw man, this is too bad because I have a good memory from reading that book. Granted, it was years ago so maybe I was young and dumb and it was always this terrible, but in my memories it was a pretty good book. No wonder it doesn't translate into a good movie though, these swirly-whirleys can't represent coherent thought, lol x) And the cult atmosphere and character motivations were made much clearer too, but through inner dialogue, thought-viewing and other stuff that's not gonna be shown in a movie...
Edit : I re-read the book's synopsis, and holy shit, no wonder this movie doesn't make any sense, they cut out pretty much the entire story minus the final twist xD
"it was bad and wrong; it was badong" 😭
I just found out that Tom Holland almost got the lead role in the movie 1917, but lost it because he was contractually obligated to do reshoots for Chaos Walking which led to scheduling conflicts.
I feel kind of bad for the guy
One day Daisy will get to play a likable character.
She was likable in Only Yesterday. Then again she only provided the voice for the character.
She did in The Force Awakens
@@Laiser /disagree respectfully
Was gonna say the same thing
Your name is perfect for a review channel you gonna do reviews bro
« It was Bad and Wrong, it was Badong »
is now one of my favorite Adum lines
"From now on, I will stand for the opposite of Chaos Walking, G'nodab."
How is Mads tricked and confused by Tom making copies of people that Mads know are dead and obviously fake? Also, it's right after he himself did the same thing to Tom.
I doubt it could've made less sense before the reshoots.
@Deniz Metin T. Science fiction typically requires things to make sense in order to work
So we're just going to casually ignore Mads being dressed like a cowboy pimp, right?
I read the books a while back, and honestly they weren't terrible.
I liked the idea of uncontrollable thought sharing.
