An atmospheric but empty movie

Rating: 4/10 (22 April 2006)

Finally a video game adaptation which doesn't completely leave me covered in the movie executives feces. This movie is easily one of the most atmospheric movies made in recent years. The sets all prepare the mood excellently and the tension builds even though nothing in the way of plot ever really happens.
That brings me to my main complaint, the movie is essentially about nothing. Which, unlike Seinfeld, doesn't work. The plot is nothing more than an attachment to give reasons behind the various monsters which appear (which are actually done quite well). But in terms of plot and character development, it feels like I am looking at amateur work that someone could make a Lego movie out of.
I would not suggest this movie for anyone except fans of the game and genre buffs.
