Doesn't translate well
I'm getting the feeling that this was a pretty faithful adaptation ofBradbury's story. I haven't read that story, so I don't know how close,but Bradbury (who amazingly, is still alive) had unprecedented controlover his work. (As opposed to Richard Matheson, whose work is prettymuch put through a blender.) The thing is, this was a movie made on thecheap, and I'm not sure it really translates well to screen. Okay, Iwasn't expecting a CGI shoot-em-up, but an hour and a half of guysarguing about whether a prop in the middle of the room is a danger ornot gets boring after a while, too.Worth watching? Maybe to hardcore Bradbury fans looking for faithfuladaptations.

Can't wait to see it...will it play in Chicago soon???
Any word on more release dates? I did see the Los Angeles Shriekfestscreening listed on the website. I saw it's also playing in Phoenixlater this month. Any word on when this will be released wide? Pleaseshow it in Chicago soon. My friend's went to Comic Con this past summerand during the Ray Bradbury panel they said that the movie was comingout near the end of the year. I'm surprised to see it's already playingin film festivals. We need more info please... I thought there was anepisode of Ray Bradbury theater based on this story too. I just orderedthe DVD set of that show and noticed how I was wrong about that. Now Iwant to see this movie even more since it's actually an untapped pieceof Bradbury material.

Met all my expectations...
Finally got to see Chrysalis on demand this week and I have to say Iwas really pleased. I was hoping they wouldn't go and turn Bradbury'sstory about human evolution into another piece of post apocalypticviolent junk. I'm glad to report that wasn't the case. I didn'trecognize any of the actors but Bradbury's dialogue and story keepsthings very interesting. The movie features a series of Emergencybroadcasts all throughout which are used to fill the characters (andthe audience) in on what's happening in the rest of the world duringthis ecological crisis the movie presents. I think that's one of themost clever storytelling techniques in the film. I really enjoy how thestory is told on two different fronts -- the main characters inside theresearch facility with their dilemma about the Chrysalis and the restof the world suffering through the eco-crisis which we get to discoverthrough the emergency broadcasts. Highly recommend it for fans of truehard sci-fi. Can't wait to get it on DVD. Would love to see somefootage from the film festivals and Comic Con panels that Bradbury hasparticipated on to promote the film.

excellent film
Ran across this in the video store, and picked it up on a whim. Boy amI pleased that I did that. Definitely going to find a copy of my own.If you have a chance to see this on DVD, please watch the film FIRST,then watch the extras (mini-featurettes on various aspects of themaking of the film), then go back and listen to the commentary (which Ihave a gripe about, more later!) Basically, this film is a faithfuladaptation of the 1946 short story that originally appeared in AmazingStories, and finally made it into book form in the 1966 collection "Sis for Space." Contrary to modern film-making, in the bulk of thefootage of the film, there are NO green screens, NO CGI, just good,authentic looking sets, giving the entire film a gritty, realisticfeel. It's obvious the actors were getting "into their roles" just fromthe atmosphere they had to work in. (FYI, the only green screen filmingwas used during production of some of those news reports on TV.)Character development is exactly as one would expect from Ray Bradbury,who was, in fact, consulted frequently during the production, and gavehis personal endorsement of the film at film festivals. Note: thismeans that this film is about CHARACTERS, not special effects.The special effects, also (such as they are) are handled old-school aswell, and mostly VERY effectively. >>Watch those mini-features tofigure out what was a live person, and what wasn't! I failed!
