Good, for a video game movie.

Rating: 6/10 (14 August 2018)

We all know that video games movies are most of the time complete garbage. Movies like Alone in the Dark, Mortal Kombat Annihilation, and House of the Dead are universally hated for being terrible adaptations of the games they're based off of. But not this one. This movie is actually pretty good, for a video game movie. It has a decent cast, good special effects, is as accurate to the game as it can be, and is taking one of the best video game series and turning it into a movie. This movie is an amazing video game movie, but is it a amazing movie? Not really.
If we pretend that this movie isn't based off of the series we know and love, it just comes off as a mediocre horror movie you'd find on tv at 2 am. The dialogue sucks, the actors (despite some of them being good actors) really don't do that good, certain elements from the franchise are used incorrectly from their original use, and Sean Bean's character felt like he was just shoved in the movie (which in fact, he was).
While this may be an impressive video game movie, it isn't a very impressive movie. But hey, it is better than the sequel.
