So it’s based on a videogame, but I don’t really play videogames so I thought to myself that perhaps the plot would be somewhat interesting since I wasn’t familiar with it.
The dialogue was enjoyable because of the level of cheese. At one point Radha Mitchell’s character says, (I shit you not) “Shut up, you stupid cop.” Heeeheeeeheeeee! Again, I’ve not played the game, but I’m dead certain that 90% of the dialogue for the movie was lifted from it. Whatever, it didn’t bother me.
My sole reason for paying 9 bucks to see this movie was the monsters. They were fanfrickentastic. I heart monsters so this was just the nicest way to spend a Friday night, seriously. Plus, the theater has this huge gameroom and restaurant but that’s beside the point.
To reiterate: This movie is based on a video game. The dialogue is laughable at best. The characters were fine. I didn’t really care what happened to them, but they were alright I guess. But the monsters. The monsters=awesome.
