Chronos

About This Movie

Chronos (2022) dives into a tense Moscow as a meteorite looms, but the focus isn't just on the impending disaster. It's really about Vadim, this self-absorbed restaurateur, who brushes off the warnings while pursuing his own agenda. The film captures the city's atmosphere, a blend of urgency and casual indifference. The pacing is interesting; it moves quickly, like the meteorite itself, reflecting Vadim's race against time. The practical effects used for the meteorite are notably effective, enhancing the film's tension without overwhelming the narrative. Performances are solid, grounding the fantastical elements in a relatable human story. It’s a unique take on family and ambition in the face of cosmic dread.
