The title either screams television pilot or an "X-Men" rip off. Is it a coincidence that it came out during the same summer of "Origins: Wolverine"?
"Mutant Chronicles" at least promises the viewers a better cast and no Ryan Reynolds (an actor who had no credibility until "Deadpool"). Also, this cast seems fitting for a sci-fi title. It has Ron Perlman with his primitive look, John Malkovich's eccentricities, and Devon Aoki capitalizing of being the weird Asian chick. The odd one is Thomas Jane and his lack of cinematic success, but when you are the star of "Hunk", your resume screams made-for-video gold.
Since this DVD is distributed by Magnolia, it will either be a stylized indie look at the apocalypse or what happens when a label needs some mainstream material for previews to attach A-tier releases. Someone will win with "Mutant Chronicles". Let us hope that it will be the viewer.
