figuring that even if something based on this FUCKING cool videogame series wasn't "good", it wouldn't be THAT bad.
Seems I was wrong.
From the beggining, it looked like straight to vido/made for tv kinda quality...the camerawork SUCKED, the acting, for the better part, sucked (don't even get me started on the Reid bitch), the storyline was "ok" but not really all that....however, the biggest dissapointment of all was that even the parts that were MEANT to be scary, weren't, at ALL.
The beasts looked like a cheap computer program had been designed to make a plastic toy run around...very poorly done.
I actually turned this one off...I'd seen enough when the guerilla guys and Carnby had a firefight with a few of the beasts, my GOD I don't think I've ever seen anthing that looked so cheap and tacky. Both my girl and I agreed that it didn't look like it was going anyplace good, or for that matter WATCHABLE, so we turned it off, NEVER to be put on again.
I never saw "House of the Dead", but was left thinking that SURELY it couldn't have been as bad as this...

Now I join the masses:
Do NOT see this movie...I bought a $10 pirate copy, and I feel ripped off, the part of the film I DID watch was a complete waste of time. At NO point, will this film impress you as much as your decision to turn it off will.
I'm done.

believe it or not - House of the Dead is worse.

my last movie :

A Wrinkle in Time .. based on one of my favorite books (of the same name) by Madeline L'engle (hope i spelled that correctly)

it was like an inspired large budget made for TV movie .. for the most part well cast and pretty good effects ..

too boring for small kids .. it's aimed at smart young teenagers.

Fathers day...the kids took me to see Batman Begins. Loved it.:)

What made House of the Dead so bad? I've never seen it, but hear so much about how bad it is. Acting? Storyline?

I never saw it either, but from what i have heard, they interlaced screenshots from the game into action shots of the movie, and they apparently used more bullet time than the MAtrix movies....

watched CREEP last night. 6/10
***SPOILER*****

imagine Wrong Turn in london underground

Not a bad movie but not great either, nice touch at the end and an extra point for being original - ish
