Yawn

Rating: 4/10 (21 August 2006)

I'm honestly in a rush right now, but i see it as my patriotic duty to warn you all innocent tax paying citizens about this movie. Firstly, it's based off a video game, which means that from inception it was going to be difficult unless there was some genius behind the plot ( we're still awaiting the arrival of the genius). The eerie silent hill atmosphere surrounding the actual game was excellent as it really depicted that element from the game, however everything else was in pure shambles. The acting sucked to an extreme I never expected...how in God's earth can a woman who lost a child in a ghost town act so calmly when arrested after being chased by seemingly alien life forms??? A woman that calm wouldn't have wanted to go to Silent Hill in the first place. The cgi was "ok" i guess, although it can't be compared to great works such as The Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and Lord of the Rings.The ending also leaves only the perception of the imagination, as there's really nothing in the movie that explains what actually happened in the end. Overall i think i lost a few IQ points from this movie, and I would suggest for you to rent it on tape, borrow the DVD or just don't watch it at all.
Overall rating 4/10
