Movie Review

‘Chernobyl Diaries’ is one red-hot mess

By Wesley Morris

* Chernobyl Diaries All that appears to be motivating anybody in “Chernobyl Diaries” to do anything is paltry screenwriting. Chris and Amanda and Natalie visit Chris’s brother, Paul, in Kiev. Paul thinks it would be fun to go to the site of a town abandoned after the Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster. This is a “don’t go in there” movie in which all you think is, “Please, go in there. We want to go home.” (88 min., R) (Wesley Morris)
