irritating and clichéd, however still surprisingly fun to watch

Rating: 5/10 (9 July 2011)

Well, when i first saw that they were going to make a movie out of the game i though something at the lines of "Wow, this is going to be worse then the super Mario brothers movie"
However, when i saw it for the first time i was surprised at how they actually managed to capture some of the game-play elements and some other interesting things into this movie things that DID irritate me to no end are stupid clichés and physical impossibilities like:
When one of the commandos shoots a zombie (or whatever you'd like to call them) in the torso with a fully automatic sub-machine gun, now this zombie flies about 10 meters away and about one meter up in the air, sure it looks cool. BUT if that weapon should be capable of sending a zombie trough the air with that force, the shooter (in this case the commando)would also be propelled into the air with the same force.
Then there where some other annoyances like the laser beam thing when the beam went completely horizontal but still managed to cut peoples necks in a not-so-straight angle
Now, you might think i'm just nit-picking on some random occasions, however this movie is FULL of these kind of things, physical impossibilities and things that simply don't make any sense whatsoever Some other simply makes no sense
Like why would an AI want to scare the living *whatever* out of scientists by teasing them around in the elevator, and when one stuck their head out, accelerate, stop, then go up in turbo speed - decapitating the scientist.
The movie is also full of irritating stuff like the camera's switching angles a million times per minute and EVERY time they flash intensively
Characters are also insanely stupid like: oh gee laser beam coming at me, better stand and stare at it, maybe it'l go away.
or:
Hmm, there's something in the vent, maybe i should just stare at the vent some and wait for it to go and potentially slaughter the other guys.
or characters asking questions 5 year old could figure the out the answer, like:
*huge steel door with something huge pounding on the outside* *main character points at door and says "is it safe to go trough there?"*
And ALL of these occasions happens in the first 20 minutes of the movie, and that's just the start of this annoying journey.
However, on the good side, the action is amazing and some of the plot devices are really interesting to watch.
So, + Good action and some interesting plot devices

stupid characters, nothing makes sense, impossibilities, and plainly irritating flaws
