the greatness of the game ws that it was pretty much brainless violence... the movie should be the same, though it looks to me a little *too* much like Doom 3. I *do* like that they took pains to make it look like an FPS, though.
I will probably rent the dvd.

I think it'll be fun to go see and laugh my head off at. Watching it with a bunch of gamer geeks would be a hoot, especially with people who've played the game. We'd all just sit back and make fun of it. So while the movie looks absolutely terrible, hours of fun and jokes could probably be derived from it Posts: 3295 | Registered: Jun 2004

I'll go see it. It's a nice cheesy escape that my wife will go see, as well as another couple.

I don't see the point in using the FPS view in the movie. Why watch a movie that looks like you're watching your brother play a game, when you can go out and play the darn game yourself?

I think it looks incredibly bad. I may have mentioned this already in a different thread, but the one thing that would redeem it in my eyes at this point would be for The Rock to fall from an incredibly high point, hit the ground on his feet and keep walking without the slightest evidence of injury, not even a wince, and for nobody else in the movie to think there was anything the slightest bit odd about that.

I just hope that the Halo movie adaptation won't be as bad as the movie adaptation of Doom. They'll probably both suck, but that is how it goes.

I did like that they had the BMFG floating and rotating for the Rock to just find.
As an aside, the Rock is actually a decent actor. The Rundown was quite enjoyable, and the Rock was good in it.

I'll wait and see what people have to say about it. As much as I love the games, it just... doesn't seem to fit for me. That and I dislike the FPS view point.
Though, it seems they will be keeping the same basic feel... chain-saw on a pinky, awesome.
