Visually stunning movie of a great game series

Rating: 9/10 (22 November 2006)

This isn't a typical Hollywood horror movie, because it has depressing and deep atmosphere. They sure did good job with this one. I can't blame them for the lack of imagination because this movie's full of it. They sure had the right people to do the job and the right director. They did have a good script and writers.
In the beginning the characters seem a bit superficial and there's not much depth to them at all. When some other movie focuses on the main character's life before the action starts, this movie just goes straight into the action. I thought that i could not relate to the characters in any way because they seemed shallow. But i was so wrong with the movie. Just before the grand final the story gets explained and it's presented in a really good imaginative way. It gives deepness to the story and it gets even more interesting because of that.
They didn't just go and make a movie based on a game, they made a movie of its own and brought something new to it. Some movies based on a game forget to bring something new to the genre and that's just too bad to copy the same old story. They've made it in a way that someone who hasn't played the actual game could appreciate it.
I recommend this movie to all horror fans!
