Horrible, boring

Rating: 2/10 (17 March 2002)

Okay, I went in knowing full well this would not be great cinema, but I was just looking for a good time, some action, some Milla, and I was banking on the fact that a couple of reviews said this was at least the best of the "game" movies.
False. This movie makes Final Fantasy look like Shakespeare. Bad, bad, bad. I was frightened exactly, umm, zero times. This movie is entertaining only in the same sense that Plan 9 From Outer Space is entertaining. The attempts at both horror and scifi were quite humorous at times.
Completely unabsorbing. Occasionally I would be stirred to interest with some development here or there, but it was all too brief. Milla-wise, the beginning has a flash of nipple. If you hold out to the end you'll get a near Basic Instinct moment. In between you might want to go to the lobby and check out some posters of upcoming movies.
This movie would have benefited from some extensive rework on the story, the storyboard and less clothes for Milla. I mean, as long as you're going to be gratuitous, you might as well do it right.
