Good idea, but just not made good enough

Rating: 3/10 (25 October 2007)

Yeah, well when you think about it, making a movie from a video game that primarily is a shoot-the-baddie's game there will be some big holes in the storyline and the plot. This is actually a movie that i had left twice before finally finishing it.
When thats said i think the storyline and the plot is great, seen from the perspective that there wasn't enough of this from the game to make a movie with. But seen in the present of other movies in this genre or other movies that has been made from videogames, this one really sucks. Even if you are a huge fan of the games, this movie will ultimately make you suffer.
The effects: The effects are on some occasions wildly and hugely overestimated. In some scenes a 45' can blast a hole in a building big enough to drive a lorry into the building, and in other scenes the exact same 45' can be used several times on a Zombie character and almost leave no marks.. In some scenes you see costumes that could be taken from "lord of the rings" and in other scenes they almost fall off the stuntmen wearing them!! Especially in one scene where some of a chase is in slowmotion you can see that everything on that actor/stuntman that are a part of his / her outfit is moving and shaking.
If you like the genre of movies made from videogames and you want to see this one, i wont disencourage you. You'll find out for yourself. If you want to see some other movies made from videogames "DOOM" is much much better, even though that one isn't great either.
