Not bad, could have been better.

Rating: 6/10 (23 April 2006)

This was not a bad crossover from a video game to a movie in respect to some other movies that were made from similar genre such as Alone in the Dark, which was terrible, and Resident Evil. In addition I played every one of those video games. I understood there was going to be some compromise from fitting in a 9-hour video game story into a 2 hour movie, but for any of you who played the game would realize that the characters a bit different (No Harry Mason) so is the story, which kind of lost me for a bit.
The one thing that kind of stuck out to me was the overwhelming CG through out the movie I heard some villain monsters were actually costume get up, and I think I could tell which those were, but undoubtedly there was a lot of CG here which in some sense didn't make it as realistic enough for me and that where some of my voting points where gone to. The other aspect that lost out some points from me was the Acting, I am no movie critic and I usually don't point out acting, but for this one I have to point it out because it was sticking out like a sore thumb. There were a couple of scenes where the main character plus some others seem like they were acting in a school play.
Overall the creepiness of the movie I think kept the movie interesting, however I think I was more creep-ed out when I played the game. So if there is absolutely no other movie you want to watch and you like the creepy ones this one was not bad, but I would hold out for the DVD.
