Another video game movie that seems to be lost in translation. I was interested to see the how it worked as a film, but found it hard to follow the ‘storyline’ and the origin behind the monsters was confusing. The action is fairly good, there’s not as much gore or violence as you might expect from a horror (game) film. Boll seems to be following his usual strict routine of inappropriate casting, unprofessional scripts and incoherent plots, I think he is probably trying for his own kind of cult status which will appeal to people that like watching bad-on-purpose movies.

It’s not a great movie by anyone’s standards, but if you just want to waste some time and slob out on the couch then this isn’t all that bad. At least the special effects are good.

The easiest way for me to sum this up is by saying that the best part of the whole film is when Slater takes his shirt off. Yeah.
