What a stinking pile of turd this was

Rating: 3/10 (23 April 2006)

I start this out by saying that I usually give a wide berth to movies based on video games, in that I'm perfectly willing to suspend disbelief in order to be entertained. For example, I really enjoyed "Resident Evil", and I love zombie flicks.
However, this movie was painfully boring to watch! I couldn't figure out why, the effects and setting were right on and cool, but I just wasn't feeling anything in the way of creepiness. The movie just dragged along, the plot and all the "explanations" were insipid, and I just didn't feel as scared watching this movie as I did playing the video game, nor did I feel even mildly entertained. Towards the end, I was just laughing at how stupid the movie was, and afterward had to go grab a beer to drown this bland mess out of my head. I doubt my date will allow me to pick movies to watch for a while after this.
